Doesn’t this title just grab you? It sounds intriguing doesn’t it? To me it does anyway.
This is the title of upcoming solo exhibition by Karley Feaver. Remember Karley? I mentioned her last week in this post, she was kind enough to send me gorgeous fabric to use in my projects.
Through a series of interviews Karley has explored peoples personal experiences and opinions on escapism.
It all began 3 years ago when Karley found herself going through a tough time; unhappy she recognised she was practicing her own form of escapism through her thoughts.
With each participant being asked the same 12 questions; Karley has taken their responses and translated them into bold abstract art works with each painting telling a story set to evoke emotions through imagery and colour.
Told you it sounds intriguing.
Karley has published the interviews on her blog and believe me, they make for great reading. A book containing the interviews is also available.
You are invited to view the exhibition Interview With Escapists which will be held at The Depot Artspace in Devonport, Auckland from July 10th-22nd 2010. Karley will be holding an artist talk for all on Wednesday 14th July at 6:30pm. Until then, catch her in the top 10 column in today’s Viva I believe!
Borrowing a question from Karley (I thought this one was a real goody):
Have you ever experienced going beyond moderation in daydreaming or escapism?
I would love to read your answers and experiences if you’re willing.
