Eliabeth Morisette Using Social Media to Construct Her Interactive Piece:

Artist Elizabeth Morisette is using a blog and asking the audience to become part of the process, by allowing them the opportunity to show their own work at udraw.blogspot.com/ 

Ephemerality

At this point in the process, I haven't honed in on all the factors that will shape my piece, and ultimately shape what the piece is about.  I do feel though, that the condition of ephemerality is an important way in which my work will intersect with the conceptual premise of the exhibit.  About nine months ago I started focusing on site-specific installation, and have been working this way continuously since.  Each time, I'm going into an unfamiliar space and 'building' a spatial drawing responsive to the shape and constraints of that space.  The piece exists only for the duration of the exhibit.  When the show is over, I break the piece down for parts.  In the case of Object/ No Object, the piece will be exhibited (in-the-flesh) for only a day.  For me, that single fact amplifies the question of where the value of the artwork lies- in product or in process?  For me, arriving at a finished point in the artwork is gratifying, but what I've achieved is more an event than a product.

Two Blogs, One Aim

Today FRCC Museum & Gallery Studies participants met with local artists to formulate plans for our on-site invitational exhibit December 3, 2010 at the Fort Collins Museum of Contemporary Art. During the round-table discussion with curators, artists and logistical taskmasters all in attendance it was made clear that additional virtual space was needed in order to accommodate the discourse surrounding the conceptual ideas and  pedagogical stance of each artists as it pertains to the aim of the exhibit Object, No Object: Sculpture of Ideas.Therefore a second blog.

It is my intention over the next month to introduce you to the artists invited to the exhibit allowing the audience to approach the work with new insight into a variety of  individual artistic processes. Comments and questions are highly encouraged in hopes of engaging our audience in discourse related to the evolution of sculpture.
