Article Review #11








I am drawn to the composition and color in these "sets".  Inspired by the work of William Leavitt four artists were invited to create theatrical "sets" to then host other artists work.  I like the idea of a "birth place" for other artists to express their work.  The lighting in the "set" areas gives a definite movie set atmosphere.  I respond to the last photo of what look like circular tambourines suspended from the ceiling.  I wonder are they tamborines or just circular vignettes for the designs.  The background layers of different color activite the entire "set".  I enjoy film and stage shows so this idea of theatrical "set" art appeals to me.  

There is a group of clay artists that do a similar event in Austin.  Four to six potters/ceramic artists host other artists in their studios.  It is a great networking and entrepreneurial step.  Cooperative art making and exhibiting is a great community activity.
