ART SCOUTS exhibition at the Arlington Art Center, Arlington, Virginia
June 18-August 21, 2010
For ART SCOUTS, six accomplished artists with strong presences in the D.C. metro region explain how and why they make their art—by presenting other artists who use the same materials or methods.
These six artists all work in different (but related, sometimes overlapping) disciplines: Zoe Charlton (drawing), Mary Early (sculpture), J.J. McCracken (performance and installation), Maggie Michael (painting), Jefferson Pinder (video), and Kerry Skarbakka (photography).
Each ART SCOUT will curate one of the AAC’s separate gallery spaces. The resulting show will highlight six distinctive points of view, explain what it means to take a contemporary approach to a particular medium, and underscore the ways in which artists forge relationships and define their own peer groups within the art world.
There will be two live performances during the opening reception on June 18:
In the Smith Corridor Gallery on the main floor, Philadelphia artist Ryan Kelly will produce cardboard cutouts and wall drawings onsite in order to construct his own impromptu version of Superman’s Fortress of Solitude. Kelly will be wearing his own hand-sewn Superman costume.
And downstairs in the Truland Experimental Gallery, fellow Philadelphia artist Jerry Kaba will offer a performance piece involving children in hazmat suits made from fleece and flannel (see image above) romping on playground equipment bolted into the gallery’s concrete floor.
