ArtLab: Artificial Nature
1.19.13 | Saturday | 1-4pm
Free With Admission
Join artist and MF educator Elise Walton on a journey inspired by Winifred Lutz and Rolf Julius. Visitors will create leaves and other natural elements by ironing plastic bags into a fused fabric. Participants will install these leaves into the garden and create a drop of confusion in an expected landscape. Twice a month, on the first and third Saturdays, visitors are invited to participate in a range of art-making activities that illuminate the creative process of in-residence artists. Projects and materials are developed to complement current and ongoing exhibitions. |
