The
Object Project
The Object Project is a group show that features
the work of fifteen artists who have joined together in an endeavor
to explore their varied and unique approaches to the same five
objects. Each of the participants approach their art with a
21st century mind-set. The exhibition will travel to five museums
over 2 years. These museums include the Evansville Museum of
Art, History and Science, Evansville IN; the Philbrook Museum,
Tulsa, OK; the Greenville County Museum of Art, Greenville,
SC; the Hunter Museum of American Art, Chatanooga, TN; and the
Museum of Outdoor Arts, Englewood, CO. The artists have each
executed two works in which five common objects have been utilized
between the two pieces. For the purposes of this exhibition,
a cooperative was formed in which the artists selected objects
for a ballot and voted for the final five. The vote resulted
in: a clear glass of water, a moth, a ball of string, a bone,
and a hand mirror. These common objects have been a starting
point for each artist to allow themselves free rein. They were
allowed to alter, age, mar, obscure, or add to the objects just
as long as all five were utilized. Many of the participants
have had friendships for years, while others have become friends
as a byproduct of this group. The Object Project has allowed
artists who have known each other's work for years to finally
meet, exchange ideas, encouragement, and inspiration. The prospect
of this shared body of work that reveals everyone's unique artistic
visions is very exciting. Participants include: Steven Assael,
Michael Bergt, Debra Bermingham, Deborah Deichler, Rob Evans,
Scott Fraser, F. Scott Hess, Robert C. Jackson, Janet Monafo,
Pamela Sienna, Daniel Sprick, Skip Steinworth, Nancy Switzer,
Jeff Uffelman, and Will Wilson. A catalog will be produced in
conjunction with the show.
