Art-making \/ merrymaking \/ rule-breaking \/ possible booty-shaking<\/p>\n

What if we give you, o\u2019 self-appointed art critic, the opportunity to play an active role in creating the kind of work that you so vocally long to see? Most gallery and museum shows tell you not to touch the artwork. In I CAN DO THAT, you can touch it, change it, destroy it, perfect it. This is your show. I have two pieces in this show.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can do that.\u201d \u2013Everyone, ever.<\/h3>\n
Ahhh, the four most frequently uttered words in the art world. Commonly the cause of much frustration and eye-rolling among artists, art historians, and art lovers, this [occasionally hubristic, occasionally accurate] assertion is usually countered with the retort, \u201cBut you didn\u2019t do it.\u201d Oftentimes, it is the concept behind a work of art that lends that work significance and meaning. Other times, some art really does suck.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
I CAN DO THAT<\/em>\u00a0is independent curator Jenny Lam\u2019s highly anticipated follow-up to last fall\u2019s acclaimed\u00a0Exquisite Corpse<\/em>\u00a0show. At the exhibition, in front of each piece will be the art supplies the show\u2019s artists used to create their respective works. With these supplies:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
    \n
  • Exhibition visitors will be invited to \u201cimprove\u201d some of the artwork as they see fit, directly applying medium to the work itself. This could mean anything from dotting one small corrective brushstroke to smearing paint all over and slashing the canvas. Each subsequent visitor is encouraged to make further changes. Consequently, the exhibition will constantly be in flux. There will be photo and video documentation of this continuous evolution.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      \n
    • In front of other artwork will be blank canvases\u2014or whatever foundation the artist used\u2014for visitors to replicate the pieces.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

       <\/p>\n

      Next to all artwork will be blank sheets of paper for visitors to compile their own artist statements and insights.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
