Collexhibition
June 3rd- August 22nd 2008
This summer, two young local artists will use Dowd Gallery's Collection as the starting point for making atwork.
The image of the exhibition itself will evolve over time, progressively creating a record of the interaction of the local Cortland community with the art and artists involved. This will mean that the exhibition will look different at each viewing, that the relations between each artwork exhibited will change, much like the routes of a long conversation.
Whether choosing works to see or works to be reproduced, the public will be able to make the choices that define the exhibition.
Collection-Exchange - Joanna Spitzner
You, the viewer, are invited to become part of this colelction. you can do so by exchangin any work of art that you own for a copy of a work in this collection. You will become part of the collection; and the collection will become part of you. Please see collection-exchange to get invloved!
There will be an "Exchange Auction" on July 19th, 1-4pm.
Open Curating - Greg Halpern
I have always been perturbed by the divide between art institutions (or the arts community) and 'the rest of' the community. i was interested in how this project might engage a broader audience by making the act of curating a more direct, interactive or democratic process.
PAPER POLITICS
Septemeber 4th -November 6th 2008
>:>:CLICK HERE FOR LOCAL CALL APPLICATION!!
Paper Politics is a major exhibition of politically and socially engaged printmaking. The exhibit showcases print art which uses themes of social justice and global equity to engage community members in political conversation. The show has now been hung in several venues in the United States and Canada, including in Brooklyn, Chicago, Montreal, Seattle, Milwaukee, Portland, OR and Corpus Christi, TX.
The exhibition features work by over 180 artists from the US and around the world; an eclectic collection of work by artists who are primarily activists, as well as artists whose work may not always be politically motivated, but who wanted to respond to the monumental trends and events of our times.
Paper Politics presents a breathtaking tour of the many modalities of printing: relief, intaglio, lithography, serigraph, collagraph, monotype, photography. In addition to these techniques, we are delighted to include traditional media used to convey political thought, finely crafted stencils and silkscreened intended for wheatpasting in the street.
The exhibition is organized by Josh MacPhee, an artist, curator and activist currently living in Brooklyn, NY.
