Selected artists were chosen "organically," by
Duncan and McPartland and each artists' work varies in artistic
discipline and/or practice.

Several artists will be creating new work/....

Christopher Taggart
Color Photographs, Super Glue
A well-used softball was acquired from the
trunk of a friends car. The surface of the softball
was then systematically divided into about 494 small numbered
triangles using pencil and colored pens. The triangles progressively
change in size across the surface of the softball. Each triangle was
then photographed so that it approximately filled the frame
of the camera. These 494 photographs were then printed as standard 4x6 snapshots.

Amanda Eicher:
Site specifc "corner work," made from drywall.
The drywall shell would roughly take the form of a Rwandan king’s house,
a conical hut often used for entertaining.

Andy Vogt:
Vogt will build a large lath (think plaster and lath)
sculpture. The lath is  from old houses and
apartments in the city that are being renovated; the work is  based in geometry and perspective.

Hisham:
  will paint a site specific work directly on the wall.

Chris Duncan
will present a monolith (roughly 9ftx4ftx2ft) work made out of
paint and string scraps.

Mary Elizabeth Yarbrough
Duct tape paintings based on the NYTimes and Internet media gossip pages.
