Andrew & Nichole Made a Map

It was heavy and long and lovely and here are a few hints at what you can still see at the Art Lab throughout December:

Anonymously Made Maps

that Frank and I found when we arrived on friday:

Friday night was a blast

Thanks to everyone who showed up! Kelsi did a great job reading, and it was a fine time creating our new country together:
Kelsi Vanada adds a border:

Kelsi Vanada adds to our country while Jess Wigent watches with appreciation.

Amber Highberger adds another:

And finally we have what we’ve been waiting for:

Much more on this country in our collective memory later.

Here’s Kelsi sharing with us stories/poems of her family’s life in South Dakota:

And these good sports made maps to add to our wall of maps made inside the Art Lab:

More pictures to be posted soon. Thanks again to the folks who braved the cold on a Friday night to listen to people read and to make things together.

Some new maps, some new news!

New maps are going up! We’ve got maps from Frank Stoner & Andrew Linares & Nichole Salanky & myself, with more to come, as well as a few pics of Peter & his wife Jess installing Peter’s “Man Made” & finally a quick glimpse of Richard Froude’s photography/text project.

ALSO! Friday, December 11th performances by Kelsi Vanada and myself, Jess Wigent, begin at 6:15pm. Saturday, December 12th, performances by Jennifer Denrow, Richard Froude, Shawn Huelle, and Dani Rado begin at 4pm. Please do stop by!

Below is Frank Stoner’s map, a Burkean blueprint of the notion of moment in physics:

“Indeed, if all the ratios were adjusted to one another with perfect Edenic symmetry, they would be immutable in one unending “moment.” –Kenneth Burke from A Grammar of Motives

A hint of Richard Froude’s map

We had a great first night! Thanks to everyone who showed up to support our readers and the exhibit. Here’s the plan for next weekend:

Friday night @ 6:15-ish Kelsi Vanada and Jess Wigent will be reading.
Saturday afternoon @ 4 Richard Froude, Dani Rado, and others will be reading.

Next weekend the show is open Friday night at 5pm & Saturday at 12pm so stop by anytime and get settled in to the arts & crafts table with the string, doilies, paint, books to tear apart and paste together and lots of other fun things and make your own!

We’ve got a new email address too: rememberedmaps@gmail.com so if you have any questions, came up with some grand idea, you should be a part of next weekend’s wonderfulness!

Pictures to be posted soon.

Remembered Maps Opens Tonight!
