Art-o-mat® - November Happenings

art*o*mat news Sunday, November 14, 2010 Art-o-mat® - November Happenings Summer of 2010 was very busy for the Art-o-mat® project….building machines for venues that have been installed or will soon be installed. But, it is nice that Fall has officially settled in. Here are a few things happening this month…… Art-O-Mat archive at SECCA A selection of the AIC/Art-o-mat® permanent collection will be on display at the Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art. This is a great opportunity to see rare works from 1997 until today. Part of the display will be a collection of international Art-o-mat work mounted on a large map indicating the country of origin. The opening Reception (in conjunction with 2 other SECCA exhibits) is Thursday, November 18th from 7:00-10:00pm and will be on display until Spring. Please visit www. secca.org for more information. Sneak Peek- click here A New Newport Art-o-mat! After taking a break for a few years, an Art-o-mat returns to Newport, Rhode Island. Thanks to Project One Newport, East Bay Met School and Ben Ellcome…we will have a very unique machine back on the island. The goal of this machine is to literally and overtly make it part of the community. This machine is arriving in it's old, semi-gross original brown finish. But, soon it will be repainted by local organizations, youth groups, artists, etc and filled with work by these groups. So, this machine may be refaced several times a year. We are looking forward to seeing how locals make it part of their own. Also, it feels great to be working with Project One Newport again. It is like reconnecting with an old friend. ;) The opening is November 19 at 7:00 pm at the People’s Café on 282 Thames Street.

If you know an artist who may be a good fit for our project, please send them our way. We need art to fill our machines.

Just a quick note to share this story by writer Thea Joselow. We particularly like this paragraph. "Man, I love my tiny art. How accessible is this? And what a great thing to do at the museum that isn't just observational. It's a tiny participation, an interaction that contains an element of surprise (you don't, after all, know precisely what you'll get from the general descriptions), and something you can take with you." We could not phrase it better. Our goal is to create valid relationships between any artist who wants to participate in our project and anyone who is interested in art but may have caught the "vibe" made famous by vintage mentos commercials. Having a small work of art in your pocket or briefcase can only brighten your day. Showing it off can only make people happy. ;) To read the whole story- click here Sincerely, Clark and AIC Saturday, August 14, 2010 Recent Press, Blog Postings and PR Releases...
