"Exploring Home in London & New York, an artist collaboration: 2010-2012"
Linda Stillman, a fine artist deeply rooted in New York is collaborating with writer/illustrator Maryann Kovalski, an ex-New Yorker now in London after a life in Canada. They met as students at the School of Visual Arts and found each other again decades later.
This rediscovery sparked an exploration of their lives as creators in New York and London, documented in postcard exchanges. The pair investigate the differences and similarities between the two cities using rubbings, drawings, collage, photographs and found objects. They compare their external worlds and domestic minutiae, manners, mores and the rhythms of daily life. Some pieces are collaborative, some stand alone.
This project was initiated under the auspices of the "Here There and Everywhere 2011" exhibition sponsored by the TransCultural Exchange in Boston. A catalog is available at http://www.transculturalexchange.org/herethere/htecatalog02.htm
Their work in progress will be shown in a sidewalk stand in New York City in May. It will be exhibited in the Spring of 2012 at the Hampden Gallery Incubator Project Space at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst.
