Studio Exhibition - Symbiosis
Thursday, May 5th, 2016
Reception: 7-10pm | Performance: 8pm
Symbiosis is a co-curated exhibit celebrating the first year of The Ark Project, an artist-run studio and exhibition artist residency program with a focus on creation, presentation, and documentation of contemporary art in all forms that engage discovery, transformation, and innovation. The program mission is to promote intercultural dialogue and artist mobility.
Open call applications are now being accepted for 2017.
Visit: http://www.resartis.org/en/residencies/upcoming_deadlines/?id_content=3496 for more information.
The Ark Project's first resident is Denise Susanne Townsend who is a local artist who just moved here from Boulder, Colorado. I met Denise during our graduate studies at SFAI; she is a phenomenal painter and performance artist who explores the transformative nature of her materials.
New work from Tobias Tovera and Denise Susanne Townsend will be on exhibit in addition to a collaborative project and performance.
Thursday, May 5th, 2016
Reception: 7-10pm
Performance: 8pm
Experience Symbiosis :: An immersive exhibit exploring mutualism and sentience in which the natural world provides life. Movement and energy are trajectories using materials that transform and evolve.

The exhibition will feature a no-host bar to raise funds for the Emeryville Youth Art Program.
