(Belfast, ME) Maine artist Amy Stacey Curtis will speak at Waterfall Arts on Tuesday, August 28, beginning at 7:00 pm. Curtis will talk about her large scale work; nine solo installations created every other year from 2000 to 2016. When completed, Curtis will have installed eighty one large-in-scope interactive installation and new media works in the vast mill buildings of eight or nine Maine towns.
Curtis states that, “Each solo-biennial exhibit is a twenty two month process and each exhibit explores a different theme while requiring audience to perpetuate the multiple installations. Without participants my work is incomplete." The Maine Arts Commission's 2005 Individual Artist Fellow for Visual Art, Curtis has committed to this temporary sculptural work to convey that we are a part of a whole, that everyone and everything is connected.
Curtis has begun moving into the former Carlton Woolen Mill in Winthrop where she will install her seventh solo exhibit, SPACE on three floors throughout 27,500 square feet of the building. The exhibit opens on Saturday, October 6th and continues from 12:00 noon to 5:00 pm everyday through October 26th. Many of the installations require participants' physical touch or effect while others function through active and purposeful perception. The audience will be asked to manipulate, maintain, enter, detect, distinguish, recognize and will be challenged to contemplate space in new ways.
The talk is free, but donations are welcome. Waterfall Arts is located at 256 High Street in Belfast. For more information, please visit www.waterfallarts.org or call 207-338-2222.
