A.P.E. is curating its fourth summer program, ARC.19 (Activate, Research, Create), with a series of summer projects that continue to expand the understanding of a contemporary art gallery as an active space within the community. A.P.E. will host four projects from the end of May to the end of August, 2019. During each project’s 1-2 week residency, artists will create and shape work in the gallery space, which will then be made open to the public through a variety of workshops, performances, and interactive installations. Each project will make a commitment to maintain a central inquiry into the relationship between the public, the work, and the space in which it is made.
A.P.E. has selected a dynamic and varied group of area artists to participate in ARC.19. The four projects and dates are listed below:
ARC 2019 participants
May 27 – June 2: Lynn Petefreund, Daily Practice. An OPEN space for viewing work and daily art practice. Workshops, daily practice with invited artists, makers, exhibition of work made plus Lynn’s daily drawings. https://www.lynnpeterfreund.com/
July 7 – 21: Shaina Cantino: Shaina will be developing and documenting an evening-length contemporary dance theater piece in collaboration with performer Leah Fournier and dramaturg/designer Rose Proctor. The performance, inspired by Cantino's relationship with her recently deceased grandmother, grapples with various levels of intimacy in the dying process. The movement and text explores the tug between rigidity and expansion in aging and letting. http://www.shainacantino.com/dance.html
