MAKE-BELIEVE, PART ONE
AUGUST 4 – 7, 2010
Opening Reception: Wednesday, August 4, 7–9PM
Art Metropole presents a group of discrete projects by Jamie Q, which come together as part of her inquiry into the social potential of art objects and the systems for their exchange. The component parts of each project are posed for dispersal. Hexagonal paintings made from found shapes exist as a large-scale modular piece that can be divided, sold, and reconfigured in private space. A silkscreened print series documents the artist’s attempts at winning a LOTTO 6/49 jackpot—each print pairs her losing numbers with the winning numbers of the corresponding draw. Paper-mâché sculpture sets suggest a shared language that channels the playfulness and makeshift economy of the carnivalesque.
