Description
Artpark announces a special series of online conversations to explore
Artpark’s visual arts legacy in a modern context. The Artpark Idea
Series will feature eight notable artists connected to Artpark over six
weekly sessions to be held via Zoom. Hosted by Dr. Anthony Bannon and
Artpark’s President, Sonia Clark, attendees will be able to engage with
the artists live and proceeds from ticket sales will benefit the Artpark
Live campaign.
Founded in 1974, Artpark soon became one of the
leading locations for avant-garde art and the land art movement,
inviting hundreds of artists to build temporary works on site. The
intention was to create a place where visitors became active
participants perceiving objects over time – from shifting perspectives
and in relationship to the architecture. Art, public, and site became
inextricably intertwined. Artistic creation at Artpark generated
immediate social, historical, and ecological implications that artists
embraced and incorporated into their processes. The “Artpark idea” is a
philosophy that art “belongs where it is” where the relationship between
creator and receiver is dynamic and alive.
The focus will be on the relationship between a place, its history, its people, and how we might develop our future together.
Robert Booth + Diane Bertolo: April 2
Sculptor Robert Booth (Artpark artist in 1983) has presented his work in more than 100 solo and group exhibitions over the past 30 years, including two major one-man shows at the Burchfield Penney. Currently a SUNY Distinguished Teaching Professor Emeritus, Booth was in charge of the sculpture curriculum at the State University of NY, Fredonia for 41 years until his retirement in 2019.
Diane Bertolo (Artpark artist in 1983) works with
pixels, paper, sticks and stones to create visually diverse works that
mark the passage of time. Most works are informed by the concept of
impermanence along with the idea that embedded in every living thing is
the algorithm for its demise--a coded time machine ticking from within.
Her work has been shown in many exhibitions over the years at the
Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Burchfield Penney, San Francisco Art
Institute, and more. She has received numerous prestigious fellowships
and awards.
While both artists were in residence at Artpark in the same year, they never met and look forward to comparing notes on their experiences.Visit www.artpark.net for more information on this event and the Artpark Idea Series
