Adriane Herman's Pick Me Up (a few things), a solo exhibition exploring the trajectory from intention to action, runs July 28 through Septemer 9, 2011. Installation photos here.
This solo exhibition features Wall of Intention, a site-specific installation of a portion of Herman's collection of well over 1000 found, gifted, and bartered [grocery and other] "to do" lists, as well as artworks created in response to individual specimens from this collection. These artworks take the form of limited edition intaglio and silkscreen prints, one-of-a-kind inlaid burnishing clay tablets, vinyl decals to be installed on windows leading into the gallery and throughout campus, graphite rubbings from these and previous installations of vinyl decals, as well as temporary tattoos the artist hopes to trade audience members for in exchange for lists they may no longer need.
Herman will be lead workshops in which Interlochen campers and students will generate narrative 'zines that combine images with texts that articulate why a single object is of particular significance to them and how it reflects what is important to them.
The opening reception for Adriane Herman's Pick Me Up (a few things…) is Thursday, July 28, 2011 at 6 pm. A lecture by the artist will follow.
Watch Herman's site-specific Wall of Intention develop from Monday, July 25, through Thursday, July 28 through the viewer-directed webcam in the Dow Visual Arts Gallery.
