Amanda Mae vs. The Frye Art Museum - Amanda MaeDry Friction - Jo Marie Jensen |
|
February 7 to March 1, 2008 Shift Collaborative Studio is pleased to present two mixed media installations : Amanda Mae vs. The Frye Art Museum and Dry Friction by artists Amanda Mae and Jo Marie Jensen. Local artist Amanda Mae presents reworkings of paintings from the Frye Art Museum's permanent collection. Through this project, Mae re-locates agency in the shifts, transitions and mimetic repetitions of her performance. An interactive piece will be installed in the gallery for the opening reception. Jo Marie Jensen's mixed media sound installation Dry Friction uses physical friction between various materials to correspond to social interaction. Based on the format of the 12-inch vinyl album, Jensen constructed a series of discs from materials including: sandpaper, matches, bubblewrap, chalkboard, nails, light bulbs and silverware. The discs have been paired up and rubbed together to create over 20 sound recordings that will play during the exhibition. Shift is a collaborative artist’s studio that opened in the fall of 2004 in the renovated Tashiro Kaplan Arts Complex. Shift was established as an artist-run space with the primary goal of supporting emergent, practicing, Northwest artists.
