How do artists learn if not by learning directly from other artists? Nine artists, writers, musicians, and curator will be exposed to the research of artist Will Corwin. As a senior guide, he leads the fall project UTOPIA, acting as an art catalyst for in perpetuum | forever.
In Perpetuum | forever is a multi-exhibition structured around the idea that artists continually influence each other. This collective consciousness is central to the evolution of art. As ideas filter through layers of human consciousness, transformations occur. Art is the realization of this collective action, although transformation is rarely immediate or stark. IP | forever offers a vantage into micro-populations where groups of artists converge around an initial concept, and the emergent collective conscience propels action. Similar to a winemaking solera, IP | forever nurtures the larger theme of forever by encompassing each solera/lead artist’s research with responses from the participating artist faction. Forever gaining momentum through its recombining context, IP | forever will continue to amass groups of artists and ideas, uniquely reshaping its overall scope and consciousness through each exhibition. UTOPIA’s solera/lead artist is Will Corwin.
