States of Exchange is a participatory “exhibition” at labotanica in which artists of all backgrounds and disciplines, (visual art, music, dance, literary art, as well as disciplines such as science, architecture, history, etc.) can propose and develop new artistic collaborations.
labotanica will mediate the process of collaboration by presenting an evolving installation at labotanica (2316 elgin, Houston, Texas 77004), in which participants’ profiles will be exhibited for potential collaborations; and collaborative works will be developed in the space through conversations, art installations, and performance rehearsals. Completed works will be exhibited or presented in many forms throughout the duration of the “exhibition”.
States of Exchange addresses the need to provide platforms and opportunities for local artists to dialogue, create, and present new works in Houston. It fills the need for artistic incubation in the community, and frames how these artistic collaborations, or “states of exchange” activate us individually and as a community. labotanica will serve as a hub, incubator and facilitator for new artistic collaborations, and new artwork in Houston, Texas, as well as throughout the world.
Use labotanica as a laboratory to make new works through COLLABORATION on Saturdays 1-5 & Weds 6-8, for the next exhibition States of Exchange, 2.26.10 - 4.3.10.
