ArtWeek: Carolyn Clayton: Object Afterlife
Gravity Gallery, 44 Eagle St.
4pm-6pm
Free
for more information
Do you have objects in your possession that you no longer want but can’t bring yourself to throw away? OBJECT AFTERLIFE offers an innovative and guilt-free solution. We are an object processing service for objects that are stuck in limbo between possession and trash. Using advanced blender technology we free your object from the form it is stuck in. Release your unwanted, burdensome, space-consuming or useless thing from your possession and we will release it from its purgatory state.
OBJECT AFTERLIFE is a project of North Adam’s artist Carolyn Clayton. Her work seeks to cultivate an enhanced awareness of our shared lives with things. She is interested in the traces that humans leave on material objects. This has positioned her to ask whether object history is retained in the fragments of everyday things, which she explores by interacting with, collecting, photographing, pulverizing and reassembling second-hand objects. |

This fundraising event is held in even numbered years to help support the Berkshire Food Project. Potters from throughout the Berkshires, southern VT and eastern New York create and donate stunning and unique bowls, chefs from the region prepare and donate soup. Supporters buy a bowl for $30 and get to fill it with all the different soups they wish to try. It's a wonderful event that everybody looks forward to and we're excited to say it's happening NEXT WEEK!
This event happens only in even numbered years! Don't miss it or you will be waiting two years for it to happen again.
There will be live music, beverages and dessert... and a raffle for a serving bowl made by world renowned potter Ray Bub. It will be a night of beauty and deliciousness! |
