10 Artists & Venue Workshop
Video by Christine Sciulli, Circus School, “montage of circus footage shot with phone cam for floor projection.”
Today has seen the first ten artists that have secured venues and will be showing at ArtPrize.
Jason Hackenwerth – New York , NY – Sculptor working in balloons
Christine Sciulli – New York, NY – Video interventionist
Betsy Stirratt – Bloomington, Indiana – Painter
Matthew Shlian – Ann Arbor, MI – Paper engineer
Dragana Crnjak – Youngstown, OH – Drawing
Kevin Bourgeois – Brooklyn, NY – Drawing
Arthur Mednick – Brooklyn, NY – Sculptor working in steel
Jimmy Kuehnle – Saint Louis, MO – Sculptor working in inflatables
Pascal Haudressy – London, UK – Working in new image format
Kim Budd – Baltimore, MD – Photographer
Although you can’t see it, all the artists are secured for either the UICA or Old Federal Building. (Soon, you’ll see which venue each artist has secured.) Since those two venues share the UICA selection committee, it means we’ve got one venue way ahead of the game, but don’t fret!
VENUE WORKSHOP
We’re holding a venue workshop. The Goal: In one session get venue hosts fully equipped to secure artists.
Venue hosts, save the date! Agenda coming next week. (I’ll also upload any materials from the workshop here.)
