Posted by Debbie Michaud @DebsMichaud on Thu, Oct 30, 2008 at 9:16 PM
Local grassroots arts organization Idea Capital has tapped Shana Robbins, Jason Kofke and Rory Golden as its fall 2008 awards recipients. Robbins will receive a cool grand, and Kofke and Golden will get $500 and $250, respectively, to pursue experimental art projects.
From today's press release:
Ms. Robbins will use the cash to fund a multi-media performance-based workdealing with the “Monstrous Feminine,” while Mr. Kofke has proposed a city-wide
street art campaign titled “Everything Will Be OK,” which includes both permitted
and guerilla art tactics. Mr. Golden will create a fictional visual narrative
installation titled “You Think I Can Eat All That Chicken Here?” which includes a
150-year-old ex-slave, food addiction, and an extreme religious conversion.
Idea Capital was founded by Susan Todd-Raque, Stuart Keeler, Pam Rogers, Louise Shaw, and Cinqué Hicks "to encourage experimentation and investigation with funds designed to give artists permission
to pursue new ideas." Visit the group's website for more info on membership, donations and future grants. See examples of their art below.
Full disclosure: Hicks is CL's freelance visual arts critic.
