Our Newest Goal: Have a group show in October of this year. All pieces will be displayed in The Block, and will be collaborative pieces. Everyone is welcome to participate!
What do I mean by collaborative? Essentially everyone who wants to participate will be a project manager (responsible for concept and compilation of pieces) and contributor (responsible for creating based on each concept).
Project managers dream up a concept (broad or specific - what are you drawn to?), and explain the concept to contributors.
Contributors create individual pieces based on the concept.
The project manager is then responsible for compiling the individual pieces into a final piece that represents their original concept.
EXAMPLE:
I choose a concept - "trees"
I explain my concept to others
Everyone interprets and creates based on my concept of trees (I didn't provide any additional information or material specifications, so it is really broad. I could end up with photographs, drawings, an interpretive tree dance, a branch off of a tree, a poem about a tree, who knows? You can be more specific with your concept if you'd like.)
I compile a collaborative piece with everyone's "tree" artwork
It's a beautiful blend of working together, communicating, letting go, etc...
Respond in the comments section with your concepts so we can start thinking about them.
P.S. This is totally optional. You can come to Open Studio and do whatever you want, hence the "Open"...however, we thought this could be a fun challenge. Either way, looking forward to seeing you Third Saturday.
