When: Saturday October 22, 1-5-PM
Where: Otis Street Arts Project, 3706 Otis Street, Mount Rainier, MD 20712
What: Spend a casual afternoon with the artists of Otis Street Arts Project.
Meet the artists, view their latest exhibition "ARTgineering v2.0," and be prepared for some enjoyable conversations. Check out the new mural by Jeff Huntington. Plus, see an aluminum casting demonstration.
On View Now: ARTgineering V2.0
Gallery hours through December 3: 12-4 PM Saturdays, Tue-Fri by appointment
On view now: Art + Engineering = Artgineering: “the action of working artfully to bring something about”
ARTgineering v2.0 is a sequel to Otis Street Arts Project’s 2017 exhibition, “ARTgineering.” It reexamines engineering in art with a group show of eight artists, working in both 2D and 3D media: interactive electronics, geometric paintings, and 3D-printed action figures. These artistic explorations are infrequently considered, and can be stimulating to neuroplasticity—elasticity of the mind. In this “Version 2.0” show, we dive deeply into the formal engineering, structural engineering, and conceptual engineering of art.
Featured artists:
Jason Bulluck
Melissa Burley
Emily Francisco
Billy Friebele
Jason Gubbiotti
Kelly Heaton
Michelle L. Herman
Frank McCauley
