Collage
Party, Paul Butler's nomadic world-wide studio experience, lands at
the Justina M. Barnicke Gallery! On Sunday, March 9, join in this free-form art jam-session:
make collages with local artists and take advantage of an exploratory,
informal space organized around play, interaction, and experimentation.
Starting
Thursday, March 6, watch a select team of local artists (specializing
in a spectrum of media work) transform the gallery space into a shared
studio/lounge, eating, playing, and working together with the goal of
learning through discourse, and experiencing how each other works. A
variety of activities, including ping-pong, videos, meals, field trips,
will be centered in one main studio space shared by invited artists.
The gallery/studio will serve as a sanctuary from the profession of
art, a space where artists will be free to experiment – like an
art school, but without the teachers or assignments.
From
March 9 through March 12, everyone is invited to join in the activities;
drop by to make some art, listen to music, collaborate, and see what
the Collage Party Artist Team has been up to. Hang out and contribute
to the creation of an autonomous zone designed to assemble, connect,
and engage.
Artists
in attendance on Sunday, March 9. Supplies provided, but feel free to
bring some of your own to the mix!
