OXY ARTS, 4757 York Blvd. LA CA 90042
Join us for a 3-part FREE art-making workshop series. We will be creating projects inspired by our current exhibition, Invisibility: Powers & Perils, curated by Yael Lipschutz and presented in collaboration with Getty's PST ART: Art & Science Collide. The exhibit explores how both invisibility and hypervisibility impact privacy, history, and systems of knowledge on a social, environmental and cosmic level. The exhibiting artists, scientists and activists ask us to consider the dangers and complexities of how visibility functions in the world and cosmos.
This is a free event series and all supplies are provided by OXY ARTS. No registration required.
September 26: Print-Make Patterns
In this workshop, we will learn the lino-cut method of printmaking. Inspired by artist Juergen Mayer H.'s Data Protection Pattern Wallpaper, we will use repetition to create patterns on fabric with our prints. Feel free to bring your own clothing you would like to embellish with lino-cut prints, or come use our provided T-shirts and tote bags. As our resources are limited, we encourage you to bring any old clothing that yourself or another participant might use for this project!
October 24: Bleach Dye
Explore how bleach can beautifully distort photographs into paintings, and magically transform blank clothing into works of art. Stay tuned for more information about this workshop as we get closer to October 24th!
November 14: Watercolor & Textiles
In this workshop, we will combine watercolor painting with fabric to explore how the materials work together to create new, exciting images. Stay tuned for more information about this workshop as we get closer to November 14th!
