Please join us for a panel discussion with Steven Ladd and William Ladd, New York based artists and brothers, and Danielle Durchslag and Ryan Frank of Assembly Required, to discuss their respective projects Chapel and A Wandering Sukkah.
This is the 7th Season of The Invisible Dog! And we need YOU to make it our best yet.
Assembly Required: A Wandering Sukkah is a fine art, interactive sukkah experience designed to visually and energetically interrupt this urban rhythm.
Chapel by Steven and William Ladd will be presented at The Invisible Dog Art Center in the fall of 2015. The ground-floor will be transformed into a space for reflection with a confessional, a glass wall, and drawings. Chapel draws on the medieval gothic glass windows of the Sainte Chapelle in Paris, and the vivid memories we have of entering confessionals in our church as kids. Chapel creates a space to reflect, relax, or be inspired.
Confessional is a freestanding structure that the viewer will be invited to enter and reflect. Simply constructed of wood, metal, thread, trimmings and glass, it is compact, and is comprised of 22 components. The doors include glass bead panels reminiscent of stained glass. Inside is a world of striped textile panels constructed of stretched trimmings, a chandelier and a chair. The chandelier will be produced in collaboration with GlassLab, a design program of The Corning Museum of Glass. Hundreds of hand-blown-tubular-glass beads will be woven into textiles, which will become the translucent surface of the chandelier.
Anne Austin Pearce: Kansas City artist Anne Austin Pearce will also do a 3 day residency during which she will invite audience members to make a confession on the back of a Micro Myth: Confessions of Rights. For later inclusion in a book, these Micro Myths are a series of 600 small scale works created specifically in conjunction with Chapel in one of her personal chapels, the jungle surrounding the Rimbun Dahan, a Private Arts Center in Malaysia, through grants from LIAEP and Rockhurst University.
