Contact Exhibition
Honolulu Museum of Art School
April 10 – April 20, 2014
Jurors: Lawrence Seward and Jon Staub
Sally Lundburg and I were invited to participate in CONTACT this month, an exhibition and community programming project that explored the notion of “contact” as it relates to the Hawaiian Islands, its people, and their experiences. Contemporary artists of all ethnicities and ages delve into a variety of contact-inspired messaging. Accompanying the exhibition is a program of talks and film that encourages audiences to “make contact” with other opinions and perspectives. Sally and I decided to collaborate on a series that included installations as well as 2D work, Tarp Bloom (Kakaako), Root Structure (Model Home), Leveler #1, #2, #3 (Interest in Vexillology).
Sponsored by the Maoli Arts Alliance (MA‘A), an initiative of the Pu‘uhonua Society, with assistance from ii gallery, Na Mea Hawai‘i, and the PROP Foundation.
