Meet Me Where I’m At: Forest City Gallery (MMWIA : FCG) | Ross Park Micro Programming Aug 4-Sept 9 | Forest City Gallery Sessions Sept 10-Oct 9
I am excited to launch the project, Meet Me Where I'm At: Forest City Gallery. This is an experimental framework for investigating social cohesion and community building through artistic practice.
The project rolls out in two parts. MMWIA Phase 1 invites you into the community through a social media campaign and a series of micro gatherings at Ross Park. As members of MMWIA, you are co-researchers, contributing raw data in the form of social media interactions and planned activities. The dynamics of our evolving community are documented over time, and you're welcome to join us at any point. Watch Instagram for our events calendar and meet us at The Park.
I bring our collected research to the laboratory at the Forest City Gallery Project Space for Phase 2. Here, during a series of six studio drawing sessions, I interpret data through large, speculative drawings and look for research threads. Meaning and relationships emerge in layers as the drawing marks accumulate. You'll find me drawing during regular gallery hours on September 16, 17, 23, 24, 30, and October 1. I welcome your company as I work.
The artwork created becomes the standing record of our growing social cohesion and of a networked community resilience. The artwork will act as a lab record for our research. There will be more information coming about the art I have planned, particular gallery activities, and a schedule of my studio work dates.
