Curator's Lab Exhibition presents
Finds! The Unusual Object
Curated by Joshua Aster and Kristin Calabrese
FOCA Gallery February 18 - April 21, 2012
Opening reception:
Saturday February 18th, 6-9pm
Looking around, we've noticed a lot of group exhibitions organized in various ways that are not the way this exhibition is organized. The artists in this show all make work that is unusual, even when considered within all the possible objects artists make, which are usually unusual. These artists lift content from wildly divergent sources and fuse them into entirely different and new, whole art objects. Their individual concerns have informed the decisions that have forged their artwork in a way that is similar to a tree that has to grow around a fire hydrant.
Building on FOCA's investment in publications, we have created an 81-page color catalog that can be ordered in print form from lulu.com for $20.50 or downloaded for free. We think of this catalog as both a companion to the exhibition and as an exhibition in itself that can be carried in a backpack or given to a friend. Here's the link to the catalog: http://www.lulu.com/product/paperback/finds-the-unusual-object/18811501
There will be an informal artist talk on Saturday March 24 th from 2 – 5 pm
Marcia Binnendyk, and Mark Babcock will be present.
