Description
The public is invited to attend a free Open Studio Reception on Tuesday, May 24th from 5:00 to 7:00 pm, at the Sculpture Space studio, 12 Gates Street, Utica. The reception provides an opportunity for local residents and supporters of the organization to meet current artists-in-residence, view their artwork in progress and learn more about their creative process. The restaurant sponsor is Mano a Bocca Catering, 408 Rutger Street, Utica. The reception will feature current artists in residence Esperanza Cortes (New York, NY) and Andrew Ranville (Flint, Michigan). Esperanza Cortes is a multidisciplinary contemporary artist who creates installations, which incorporate sculptures, drawings, prints, paintings and video. Her interest in the folk art traditions, art rituals, music and dance of Latin America, The Caribbean and Africa and their continuous and evolving changes are at the core of her sculpture, installations and interventions. Andrew Ranvilles practice is largely project-based with location, landscape, and the artwork itself determining the medium. His installations, sculptures, film, photographs, recordings and prints investigate a variety of interests including architecture, environment, field science, cartography, and community.
