The Community as a Form of Art
Migiwa Orimo and the Heights Arts Summer Collective
through July 14
Migiwa
Orimo of Yellow Springs, Ohio, is an Ohio Arts Council
Artist-in-Residence at Heights Arts Studio in June, exploring different
aspects of our community as elements of art. For the
project, Heights Arts convened an artists' collective that
includes high school and college students and adults from a wide array
of professions. Projects include:
I am what I do with my hands
explores the merchants on Lee road whose hands create, mend and
imagine. These people usually take on the role of the supporters
of art in the community by way of attending, viewing, buying and
donating. We turned the notion around and recognized them as
inspirations for the creative process in our daily life.
Family Portrait, or is it? Random library patrons were invited to have their portraits taken together to explore the concept of family.
This is where . . .
A
large hand-traced map of zoning parcels traveled to the library
branches, where people put red dots on places that had meaning for
them. Their descriptions of what happened at these places were
collected and will be shared anonymously at the installation. Related
artistic creations further explore this idea.
The residency
culminates in an installation opening June 29 that shares the
collective's creations. Come meet Migiwa Orimo and members of
the artists' collective at the reception. See a
community through the lens of art, and art through the lens of a
community.
The residency is in support of Person Place and Thing,
a six-month exploration at the Heights Arts Studio of how the
connection between a person and a place inspires the creation of art
object.
