AU: Exchange

When:
Redline Gallery, 2350 Arapahoe

Where:
Saturday, November 12.

Reception: November 11, 8:00-10:00pm This year RedLine’s annual resident artist exhibition is entitled "AU: Exchange." Cortney Lane Stell, curator of the exhibition will symbolically transform RedLine through artist’s creative engagement with gold; she explains, In the popular imagination, gold conjures up ideas of preciousness, consumerism, finance, value, malleability, even common identity. What material better links our current economic state with the economies of the past? This exhibition reconsiders gold, and the relationship of RedLine artists with the material and the economy. Each artist will be given a 2.5 gram gold bar to use in his or her work. The artists can choose to sell, trade, or use the gold in any manner they choose to create an artwork for the exhibition. The intention of this critical exploration of the material is to reveal the open nature of gold in both form and concept in relation to each artist’s individual practice.
