Working Studios: Variations on P-3
@ 6018North
6018 N Kenmore Ave, Chicago, IL 60660
Opening Thursday, July 25th, from 7PM - 9PM
We are delighted to invite you to participate in a unique spiritual workshop dedicated to the exploration and creation around the artwork P-3 by Pierre-Alexandre Savriacouty. This bas-relief, inspired by the contemplation of the starry sky, is a variable piece that evolves with each location where it is displayed. Composed of rebar, thread, and fishing sinkers, P-3 invites direct interaction where the threads are mesure and cut by the participants, then the treads can be adjusted, pulled, and intertwined, much like a living portrait drawn and weighed by the assembler.
P-3 artwork finds its origins in Greek mythology, particularly in the stories of the three Fates: Clotho the spinner, Lachesis the allotter, and Atropos the inexorable. These three deities of fate symbolize the cycle of life – birth, tension, and death. Through this workshop, we will explore how each of our lives have a unique shape and cosmology and which contribute to the collective. Like the Moirai, each participant will create a thread of one’s own life, and then together we will create a collective astral map on the wall. The resulting work will be shown in Myth of the Organic City which opens September 22, 2024
