The Tulsa Project is proudly teaming up with elevenTH (formerly tepera | hood design) to bring a unique artistic endeavor to Tulsa: Freight Gallery. From the Freight website:
FREIGHT Gallery challenges the notion of static art gallery by creating an ephemeral interaction of art in an instant format. The gallery is housed in readymade display spaces such as shipping containers, u-haul trucks and covered trailers. This mobility allows us to present an impromptu gallery opening anytime and anywhere in the city of Tulsa. The low tech nature of the gallery presentation experience removes the fabricated barrier of formality between the artist and public allowing for an accessible experience.
That’s right: U-Haul trucks. We kick off this inventive series this weekend, Friday, May 14th and Saturday, May 15th, at the Blue Dome Arts Festival.
Here’s some info on our first featured artist:
Colliding the organic with the manufactured, I question our position between a world that we shape ourselves and the natural world. My paintings are made out of materials such as leaves and various plastics that reflect that juxtaposition. I “sculpt” my paintings up in many translucent layers and mount them in florescent-lit lightboxes. Doing so allows me to achieve delicate transitions from light to dark. It is my hope that these cityscapes will delight your senses as much as your mind.
What: Freight Gallery (featuring Grace Grothaus)
When: May 14-15th
Where: Blue Dome Arts Festival
