PROJECT/PROGRAMTell us about your project or program INFORMATION Title of Grant The Collage Stop Request Grant Amount $900 Requested Project Start Date Prep begins in July 2019 with events in Dec 2019 and February 2020 (no earlier than July 1, 2019) Project End Date (no March, 2020 later than June 30, 2020) DocuSign Envelope ID: FDE6D6D7-3562-418C-9247-777BF0668992 'roject/Program I am requesting funds to create a portable collage workspace and to Summary support two pop-up collage events here in Orange County, NC. This ongoing project, The Collage Stop, engages drop-in visitors at events in arts and public spaces. Visitors to The Collage Stop will be invited to make collage from scraps of local and national artists who work with paper, textile and other collage friendly materials. Funding is allocated to commission artists to save their scraps and for documentation of both pop-up events. The project originated from my own work in collage, which has led to curiosity about potential meaning of and use for the art materials I throwaway. I began saving my scraps several months ago. When I sift through them, I notice misfit stars, gold slivers and animal outlines: a language related to, but not the same as my completed works. Informed by Erin Wheeler's residence at the El Cerrito recycling center, Melissa Oresky's Collage Office at the Franklin Outdoor, the zero-waste studio practice of Holly Cahill and the pedagogical practice of Robert Peters, The Collage Stop will offer an opportunity to explore how we might use and transform seemingly useless materials through exchange and artistic practice. Important to this project are the social metaphors and aesthetic potential of inviting participants to make collage with an artist's trimmings, failures and negative spaces. I am also interested in the potential feedback loop between the artists and the participants who manipulate their scraps. Attached as support is my correspondence with Jenks Miller in which he expresses his intention to host an inaugural collage pop-up at the Carrboro ArtsCenter December Elf market. For this iteration, visitors will be invited to sit in a space devoted to crafting, take a break from their shopping and use my own salvaged studio scraps to make collage. For the second iteration, I have commissioned Erin McCluskey Wheeler and Holly Cahill to save scraps for a pop-up on February 14th in the NC Art Therapy Institute in the Carr Mill Mall. Collages made during this pop-up will be on display at the NC ATI gallery through mid-March. My supportive correspondence confirming use of the space with Lucy Li at the ATI is also included in the application. In terms of scrap-saving, I have support from local artist Elin O'Hara Slavick, Chicago artist/curator Holly Cahill, Chicago artist/educator Rhonda Wheatley and Erin McCluskey Wheeler, artist in residence at the El Cerrito recycling center. DocuSign Envelope ID: FDE6D6D7-3562-418C-9247-777BF0668992 ;ommunity Impact As is hopefully obvious from the project summary above, community engagement is at the heart of this project. I would like to create a connection between participants, art, and the artists providing the scraps in a way that allows participants to engage actively and creatively. I also hope to share with the audience the power of recontextualizing and reimagining waste and failure, as a launching pad for creativity and growth. This is a key principle of artistic practice, recycling, and a metaphor for a life approach in general. The Collage Stop would be able to host between 5-15 participants at a given moment, partly depending on table(s) size/availability. The event at the ArtsCenter is expected to have 1,500 visitors. The ATI event will be held during 2nd Friday ArtWalk and is also expected to draw many people. Funding for materials that are safe/appropriate for children and individuals requiring art materials with dexterity aid is allocated in the budget. Artist Experience The Collage Stop is reflective of my time as teaching assistant for Robert Peters Visual Language courses at the University of Chicago. In Peter's class, students were given portions of found/recycled books that they were to manipulate throughout the quarter. This process resulted in the transformation of objects and materials that had been deemed worthless. The salvaged and manipulated books informed the students' artistic practice in a variety of ways. They functioned as sketches, storyboards, models and completed works in their own right. Since working with Peters, the investigation into working with our entire landscape, even the parts that are considered trash, difficult, negative or internal has become central to each of my professional practices including my decade of teaching mind-body medicine at University of Chicago and my studio practice in collage and picture books.
