davis_squareWhat: Windows Art Project (WAP) Reception
When: Thursday, June 27, 6-8pm (rescheduled from June 6)
Where: Right in Davis Square, between the Somerville Theater and Store 24
Your hosts: The Somerville Arts Council and the businesses of Davis Square
2002 WAP theme: "Food for Thought"
About the WAP Opening
In addition to a heaping serving of art, there will be food, art tours and live music courtesy of two great Somervillian bands: Aqueduct and the Pee Wee Fist . From 4-6, Somervillian comix illustrator extraordinaire Jef Czekaj will lead the WAP street team to draw vegetables all over the Davis Square Sidewalks.
About WAP
Now in its 8th year, the Windows Art Project is one of the Boston area's largest public art events. Since 1995, this juried exhibition has infiltrated public and private spaces in Davis Square with the aim of integrating art into daily life. Installations have turned up in storefront windows, in the MBTA station, in trees, and on sidewalks. For WAP 2002,
artists have been invited to interpret a purposefully broad theme: "Food for Thought." Some artists explore food itself, using it as a subject and a medium (Candy is a medium, for example, in one of the works on display at McDonald's). Other artists explore the theme more figuratively: one installation, for example, explores the idea of consumption with a series of sculptured heads with gaping mouths (at McIntyre and Moore). And still other artists have chosen to explore the theme in even broader terms, as anything that nourishes the mind. In short, Food for Thought means many different things to the 50+ artists exhibiting in this year's WAP. The exhibit will be on display through June 28.
[Shameless plugs: You can see my work at Pluto, on Elm St (before Rosebud, across from Anna's), and cthulhia's at West Coast Video, on Elm St (just past Diesel).]
