The Satisfaction Town multi-media exhibition is taking place this weekend in
Chicago, in conjunction with
SGC (Southern Graphics Conference). I have a video piece (
Intervention) in the show, as do many of my past friends and colleagues. Here's the breakdown:
Satisfaction Town Location: Columbia College, Conaway Center, 1104 South Wabash Ave, ground floor Date: Friday, March 27 Time: 5 - 8 pm
Satisfaction Town consists of the new breed of printmakers, artists, musicians, performers, poets, activists, and makers. We plan to create an interactive collaborative print environment with a parade of dimensional and flat prints. Traditionally in museum and gallery settings, art is put on a pedestal or framed under glass, removing it from the audience. Our approach for Satisfaction Town will be interactive. We will bring the art directly to the viewer, to distance the work from this hierarchical standard. We will create an active live print space with collaborative teams handing off prints to each other and to audience members.
