Urban Still Life in Gallery

juliemalen — Mon, 12 Apr 2010 18:05:33 +0000

Urban Still Life: An Evolving Field Guide to Kansas City, completed its metamorphosis for the third Friday event in February -Cumulus Part II: an Urban Culture Project Studio Residency Focus Exhibition. This collaborative project by Calder Kamin and I sought to document the relationship between humans and nature in an effort to show that nature is not something separate from the human experience. We did this by sculpting animals that we found dead in the urban environment of Kansas City throughout the course of a two month exhibition (both Cumulus I & II). Our installation at the Paragraph Gallery went through weekly updates as we documented these experiences from our daily lives. You can view images of the urban still life in all of its stages and details by clicking on the page titled “Cumulus I&II”.

Cumulus I & II

juliemalen — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 18:26:08 +0000

Cumulus I & II is an Urban Culture Studio Resident Focus Exhibition at the Paragraph Gallery in Kansas City, MO. Calder Kamin and I created a collaborative piece for this exhibition titled Urban Still Life: An Evoloving Field Giude to Kansas City. The peice will evolve/ expand over two months, so for those of you who attended Cumulus I, there will be much more to see at the February 19th opening of Cumulus II.
