Opening reception: Friday, November 9th 6:30 - 10pm
November 9 - December 23, 2007
Participating artists: Sarah Baker, Kim Collmer, Chris Doyle, Wendy Mason, Brandon Morse, Iain Forsyth, Jane Pollard, Pascual Sisto
Curated by Dana Turkovic; Exhibition Design by Brandon Anschultz and John Watson
Amass is an exhibition with multiple intentions and various definitions. The title is a reference in its most direct translation a metaphor for curating an exhibition; to gather artwork, to assemble ideas, to group, and to collect. The exhibition at Boots Contemporary Art Space will bring together new video work from a selection of national and international artists. Under this headline, Amass is also blurring the boundaries between, art, design, and information by questioning the conventional configurations of how we view video art. By commissioning two local artists to design "sculptural support" that invites, and in some ways, compels the audience to assemble and come together as viewers, the exhibition will aim to provide a series of smaller encounters within one collective social experience, thereby highlighting the existence of a 'closed temporal loop' between creation, interpretation and reception.
