Friday, June 6
Art Opening: Hap Phillips, Nita Turnage, and Keith Buchholz
Free, 7 - 10 p.m., art@thecommonspace.org
Attendance: 70 people
These three prolific and diversely skilled artists, working in a sort of "collaborative aesthetic," will exhibit arrangements of mutually collected found objects as well as collages and assemblages made from time-worn specimens of local history and culture. As the masterminds behind both the 2002 and upcoming 2003 ARTICA festival, Buchholz, Turnage and Phillips have come into close contact with the wayward memories of St. Louis' neglected riverfront and here weave intersecting narratives into a dialog of past, present and future.
