Three Thoughts on Immigration (Pocket Change)
The following prints were apart of a group project called Pocket Change and were created in 2006. Pocket Change is a two part experimental exhibition that challenges the business as usual approach of the contemporary art world's fixed pricing for the elite and affluent art connoisseur. It is composed of local and national artists and panelists who will participate in The Pocket Change Experiment in an effort to explore ways of making art affordable and accessible to everyone.
The first part of Pocket Change features the work of fifteen RI printmakers offering three different prints each at different price ranges. The second part is a panel discussion of artists, art historians, and curators who have created alternative models for selling and displaying work.
Artists: Jo Dery, Mike Taylor, Neil Burke, Xander Marro, Kenn Speiser, Pippi Zornoza, Jenny Nichols, Cybele Collins, Meredith Stern, Alec Thibodeau, Kasey Henneman, Shawn Gilheeney, Brian Chippendale and Katie Truskoski.
