Interactive Bunker Project
Come and join us every week on Friday, 10 to 130, VA 315, corner of Rene-Levesque and Crescent. Have some grape juice, fresh bagels and make fresh art.
Adrian Norvid, this year’s visiting Professor of Painting and Drawing at Concordia’s Studio Arts program, has made the excellent suggestion that our large-scale interactive project could be the creation of a bunker image, a bit like an ant farm seen from the side. This underground city offers countless panels for showing life in this new civilization, and the panels of images can fit together to make a very large image. We will use a total of eight rolls of Stonehenge paper, provided by our grant from the Fine Arts Student Alliance. Other ideas are also being discussed, pass along your thoughts.
Adrian is preparing his show of drawings at Joyce Yahouda gallery in the high-profile Belgo building in downtown Montreal; news about the opening will be in next week’s note.
Check out new images from our live television collaborative art making project with Art Matters on Global television. The images were prepared as part of our documentation of the TV appearance in March; clips are being prepared for our website.
Montreal artist David King, who worked on the mural project at our CDEx gallery show in May, will be helping co-ordinate work on the large scale interactive project we’re doing. David, artist Cassandra Wittome and Robert Winters collaborated on several pieces last week, including work begun by Montreal artists Stephanie Reynolds, Carina Phillips and Marisa Hoicka.
