Last Week on AiYE, 2 great segments

First part of the show we chat with Andrea Assaf/Art2Action https://art2action.org/ about their collaboration with Pangea World Theater & the Veteran’s Open Mic at the Bunker in Ybor.

Then artist & professor at USF Wendy Babcox comes in to talk about ANTHEM her solo show at Tempus Projects. It’s an ‘exploration of notions of the unruly woman and the subversive power of women’s laughter, Babcox reimagines this imagery in the context of large-scale, heavily saturated prints.‘ and also awesome. 

Please tune in!

a little bit ago

Up at USF Contemporary Art Museum, in conjunction with its  exhibition, The Visible Turn, artist Bosco Sodi will build a wall. And then you, the public, will dismantle it. He said in an interview that it is important the work is brief, so it is a political action, not art. On the air also will be Sarah Howard, USF Curator of Public Art & Social Practice (that’s a mouthful!), and Mark Fredericks from Graphicstudio. Below are some shots from the wall built in Washington Square, NYC.

Earlier this year

Carrie Boucher, Mitzi Jo Gordon, & Creative Pinellas Board Chair Lauren Davenport came in to talk about Spacecraft, a 2 year traveling art & social practice project in Pinellas County. 

Spacecraft is an acronym for Social Practice Activating Creative Environments

Carrie spoke a little also about the NOMAD Art Bus.

Mitzi Jo insinuated (ha!) that something really cool was getting ready to be announced, perhaps with the St. Pete Women’s Collective. 

Lauren also talked about a really innovative arts funding for summer camp being developed. Stay tuned!

Want to see some pretty pictures of pretty jewelry?

These are a few of the pieces, with some close ups, of the work in the Jean Schlumberger show at the Museum of Fine Arts in St. Pete. These are from my phone – I am going back with my camera to get better shots.
