Maximum Approach
July 19 – 22
Pinkard Gallery, Bunting Center, Maryland Institute College of Art, 1401 Mt. Royal Avenue
Maximum Approach is a two collective show featuring the works of PaperRad (Providence, RI and Pittsburgh, PA) and Crystal Coven (Baltimore, MD). Both collectives share in common the utilization of incredibly realized groupspeak-while maintaining clear voices of the individual- and often incredibly overwhelming aesthetic approaches. The two separate installations promise to draw the visitors wholly and entirely in to the two camps’ hyper realized worlds of damaged pop culture overload and creepy witchy mystery… the opening reception with artists in attendance is not to be missed.

Curator: Brendan Fowler, co-editor, ANPQuarterly, music and text based artist under the name BARR.

Artists:
-Paper Rad (Providence, RI and Pittsburgh, PA)
Jessica Ciocci ~ -Jacob Ciocci ~ Ben Jones
-Crystal Coven (Baltimore, MD)
Sarah Milinski ~ Caitlin Williams ~ Erin Womack

Ceci n'est pas a Booth, Kiosk or Gazebo and Other Radical Shacks
July 19 – 22
Artscape Food Court at Bolton Yards
Ceci n'est pas a Booth, Kiosk or Gazebo and other Radical Shacks is an enclave of site-specific installations and interventions created to interact in the chaos of a marketplace (in this case the food court of Artscape). The fluid, commercial nature of the Artscape Festival foodcourt (thousands visit the court during the hot July weekend) creates a dynamic and continually changing space. The artists in the exhibit respond to the place with mutable works that are only fully realized and completed through the interactions between artist and participants.

Curator: Laure Drogoul, Baltimore sculptor and performance artist, the winner of the 2006 Janet & Walter Sondheim Prize and the founder and director of the 14 Karat Cabaret, a program of Maryland Art Place.

Artists: Sarada Conaway ~ Ben Furgal ~ The Lexie Mountain Boys ~ Andrew Liang ~ Melissa Moore ~ Kold Krush Snowballs (Billy Mode, Josh MacPhee & Chris Stain) ~ Tim Scofield & His Flying Machine ~ Scrapworm ~ Snacks (Tom Boram & Dan Breen) ~ Cotton Salty (R. L. Tillman) ~ Daniel Van Allen ~ Melissa Webb, M. Jane Taylor, and Company
