Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities. September 15 - November 13, 2022
Role: Exhibition Manager and Associate Curator
A blank page, a blank canvas, a blank slate–widely-used idioms for limitless possibilities. For the exhibition series One Sheet, we invited over 60 Colorado artists to start with the same blank building block and create a new artwork.
Each artist received a sheet of ¾” x 4’ x 8’ unfinished baltic birch veneer plywood, a sheet of 50" x 50" Stonehenge acid-free white 90lb paper, or a sheet of large format 16" x 26" 50 staves staff paper. The artist used this raw material as the building block for their creation. This material could be filled up, ripped apart, added to, or reimagined into something completely different. By highlighting the creativity, diversity, and range of processes and concepts that are derived from a simple sheet material, One Sheet showcases the limitlessness of the blank sheet and of the creative mind.
Participating Artists: One Sheet: Wood: Sabin Aell, Susan Blake, Brad Bolte, Anne Bossert, Ana Maria Botero, Mark Bueno, Scottie Burgess, Chris DeKnikker, Connor Deniston, Virginia Diaz Saiki and Lucas Thomas, Nathan Dominik, Matt Doubek, Trey Duvall, Tobias Fike, Javier Flores, Judy Gardner, Moe Gram, Derek Keenan, Mathias Leppitsch, Agnes Ma, Sarah McCormick, Tsogo Mijid, Sam Mobley, Christi Palitto, Roger Reutimann, Thomas Scharfenberg, Dan Sjogren, Gregory Santos, Eleanor Sabin, Autumn T. Thomas, Robert Turek, Jenny West
One Sheet: Paper: Vinni Alfonso, Libby Barbee, Pattie Lee Becker, Ramon Bonilla, Teresa Castaneda, Taiko Chandler, Carlos Fresquez, Homare Ikeda, Paulina M. Johnson, Max Kauffman, Los Supersonicos (Frank T. Martinez and Francisco Zamora), Raymundo Muñoz, Christine Nguyen, Kelton Osborn, Brady Smith, Charlo Garcia Walterbach
One Sheet: Music: Alex Anderson, Keith Ewer, Janet Feder, Nathan Hall, Mark Harris, Mamiko Ikeda, Masakazu Ito, Mary Jungerman, Ash Mach, Julia Mendiolea, Moss Pig (Victor John and Malia Martinez), Pierce Murphy, Tenia Renee Nelson, Eleanor Perry-Smith, John Rot, Cody Yantis
