Artistic collaboration was the theme of a multi-artist gallery exhibit, Slow Start, Long Beginnings, on display at Walker’s Point Center for the Arts (WPCA) earlier this month.
The artists—Karin Haas, Jessica Steeber and Cassandra Smith—wanted to “create a dialogue around real and artificial environments.”
The pieces in the exhibition were made specifically for WPCA’s space. Gary Tuma, executive director of WPCA, noted, “We like to do site-specific installations.”
WPCA selects four art proposals for exhibition every year. “We seldom do a solo exhibition,” noted Tuma.
The artists also presented 55 drawings in a second gallery. Each artist participated in creating every piece. “You don’t know which woman did what,” Tuma said, “but they all worked on them together.”
