HERMES ARTISTS

STUDIO JAM

January 11 — February 2, 2020
Opening Reception: Friday, January 10th at 6pm
Studio Jam & Chit-Chat: Sunday, January 26th from 2 — 5pm
Organized by Peter Dykhuis

In music culture, studio jams are experimental sessions where creative artists noodle about with new ideas. Some will evolve into songs and formalized compositions; others will never have a public face.

In this spirit, HERMES artists were asked to share any of the following about their future projects:
- their conceptual sketches

- studio paste-ups (digital or material)

- physical scraps that relate to process

- digital maps of production pathways

- video sketches

- or ???

This exhibition offers raw and unvarnished glimpses into the production process of artist’s studio practices that are usually hidden from public view – but essential for any project’s future development.

The participating artists are:
Robert Bean

Barbara Berry

Thierry Delva

Peter Dykhuis

Eryn Foster

Sara Hartland Rowe

Adriana Kuiper + Ryan Suter

Barbara Lounder

Frankie Macaulay

Dan O’Neill

Mathew Reichertz

Jessica Wiebe

To add further context, each artist will supply a few sentences regarding their practice and what is on display. And what is to follow.



In the spirit of the ‘studio jam’, the exhibiting artists will get together at 2:00 pm on Sunday afternoon 19 January to make new collaborative work and chat about connections between their practices. The public is welcome to attend and participate.
