CROSSOVER KC, ALEJANDRO THORNTON, & REBECCA CLEWS

OCTOBER 17 - NOVEMBER 14, 2014

CROSSOVER KC – BS AS. An in-progress international collaborative printmaking project between artists questioning the established norms of the original production and authorship of artistic works. In this project one’s work, property and egos became irrelevant, as artists have to trust each other allowing themselves and their counterparts to place their hand-marks, images and matrixes on one’s previous works. Master Printer, Adriana Moracci, inspired by the work of Miguel Rivera, initiated the most recent CROSSOVER session. The international project was completed at Proyecto’ace/Artist-in-Residence International Program in Buenos Aires Argentina, and directed by Alicia Candiani, from February to June 2013.

ALEJANDRO THORNTON I WRITE / I DRAW “Ale’s work is related to Cy Twombly’s work, but has an interesting quality of “frozen calligraphic poetry” that I find interesting. His trajectory as an artist is consistent, serious and professional. ”

— Luis Camnitzer, artist and professor emeritus from SUNY PDF of Exhibition Announcement

PLACE AND MEMORY – Kansas City Art Institute students participated in the Foreign Travel Led Program to Buenos Aires. Upon their return they created a series of works made in response to their experiences in Argentina and Uruguay. These visual sources, or tokens are being adapted and processed around notions of the found print and memory recollection.
