Collectivity
Curated by Heng-Gil Han
Selected members of the tART Collective will exhibit works at Jamaica Center for Arts & Learning from April 4 through June 6, 2012. The exhibition titled Collectivity: Art-making in a Collective, examines ways in which members of the tART collective produce work while simultaneously being part of a creative artists’ collective. What impact does peer studio visits, collaborative projects and collective dialogue have on individual art production? Heng-Gil Han curator at Jamaica Center for Arts and Learning will survey these issues and more through a curated exhibition of a select group of tART Collective members. The exhibition will place work created prior to members’ inclusion in the collective alongside current work; thus providing an opportunity to appreciate the significance of collaboration and collective endeavors to individual artists’ aesthetic and conceptual shifts, constants, and changes.
Artists: Damali Abrams, Liz Ainslie, Julia Whitney Barnes, Suzanne Bennet, Suzanne Broughel, Anna Lise Jensen, Katherine Keltner, Jodie Lyn-Kee-Chow, Susan Ross, Nikki Schiro, Yasmin Spiro, Melissa Staiger, Rosemary Taylor, Petra Valentova.
