ARTIFACTS FROM THE BASEMENT OF THE CHURCH OF CONTEMPORARY ART
Church of Contemporary Art co-founder, Angela Watters, will be sharing the sculpture, painting, and photography from CoCA’s permanent collection for the exhibition, Artifacts from the Basement of the Church of Contemporary Art. CoCA pairs the rituals and relics of religion with the seductive allure of contemporary art. Our communion ceremony consists of a diet of gourmet-cubed marshmallows and Kool-Aid spiked with vodka (the body and blood of art). No matter what you identify as, “We are what you need.” On June 2nd and 3rd there will be sliding scale counseling sessions given by CoCA members in the gallery in conjunction with the exhibition and CoCA’s June 1st performance at Defibrillator Gallery for the Rapid Pulse International Performance Art Festival at 7PM. Please contact info@angelawatters.com to schedule your counseling session.
ANGELA WATTERS is a multi-disciplinary artist and educator. She is a 2012-2013 recipient of a Terminal Award for new media for The Poor House, a participatory project about the student loan debt problem. As founding member and lead organizer of The Foster Collective she organized a collective response to the 2010 Gulf oil spill on gas station paper towels, which has been exhibited in several cities across the country. She received her BFA in Photography from New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts and her MFA from Columbia College Chicago. This summer she will be artist-in-residence at the Luminary Center for the Arts in St. Louis.
