PITTSBURGH, PA -- When the SPACE exhibition EXTRACTION commences on Sunday, November 20, it will look dramatically different when from it opens on Friday, September 23. Under the direction of guest curator Jill Larson, visitors to SPACE have a unique opportunity to alter the outcome of an exhibition. EXTRACTION invites gallery visitors to interact directly with, and continually re-shape, the 20,000+-piece exhibition. Visitors are encouraged to not just view the exhibit, but to "extract" pieces of it, and by doing so, the exhibition will be in a constant state of flux, change and loss.
For EXTRACTION, a group of local, national and international artists create 17 works of art; three of the projects are being created by a collaborative team of two artists. Participating artist Delanie Jenkins will be present at SPACE on Thursdays from Noon -3 p.m., September 29 - November 3, to field questions and observe the exhibition’s ongoing, organic transformation.
Guest curator Jill Larson is increasingly active with Downtown Pittsburgh’s thriving art scene. Last year, Larson exhibited the extremely personal large-scale work After the Sky Has Fallen at 709 Penn Gallery. Born in northwest, Pennsylvania. Larson studied art and photography at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh, the Atlanta College of Art. Larson completed her studies at Georgia State University, where she earned an MFA. Larson is the founder of Fe Gallery, Pittsburgh, where she worked as the Executive Director and Curator from 2003-2010. She currently works as an independent curator.
