Late Winter / Early Spring goings on...

Ephemerality at the Schuylkill Center
Opening Reception:
Saturday January 17th, 2009
5-7 pm, with an artists' talk at 6 pm
This is an experimental gallery exhibition that I am curating
as Art Program Manager at the Schuylkill Center for Environmental Education in Roxborough, Philadelphia.
I selected six artists and one artist team to create temporary artworks
with natural materials on the grounds of the Schuylkill Center,
with the guidelines that the artworks created must last no more than 24 hours.
The installations, sculptures, interventions, or events created were documented
by the artists using photography, video, sound, and text.
These documentations of the outdoor ephemeral artwork will comprise the gallery exhibition.
Artists:
Nancy Agati
Torkwase Dyson
Jenn Figg & Tatania Ginsberg
Sarah Phillips
Matt Pych
Theresa Rose
Claudia Sbrissa
