Rafael Vargas Bernard - 10 Minute Comission Challenge @ Artejangueo #4

For the first time at Artejangueo #4

Rafael Vargas Bernard - 10 minute comission challenge.

10 minute Commission Challenge is a participatory art piece which includes the buyer of an art object directly in the creation and pricing of the object in a novel and fun way. This piece is a relational art game with the intent to form a playful emotional bond between the buyer of an art object, the artist creating the object, and the object itself in a short period of time. The art buyer has the opportunity to commission a watercolor no larger than 9”x 9” providing whichever idea, theme, or subject they wish for $50.00. The commission is then executed in the presence of the buyer: if it is not completed within 10 minutes the buyer need only pay half the price for his commission.  10 minute Commission Challenge alludes to the interdependences between artist, art buyer, and art market.

You can also see one of his works which is currently being shown at Museo de Arte Contemporaneo de PR in Santurce as well. The exhibited piece is part of the Museum's permanent collection.

Trailer Park Proyects at 2nd Feria de Arte y Diseno at La Galeria Nacional

This past weekend, TPP participated in the 2nda Feria de Arte y Diseno at La Galeria Nacional. This initiative of Galeria Nacional and her director Marilu Purcell and her staff has been a blessing for many young and established artists and designers who have amazing works and few places to show it off.

With Circa Art Fair disapperaing and Art Galleries closing due to the economic situation we are very fortunate to have this opportunnity to take art and design and make it available and accessible to new crowds and young collectors.

This second edition was an overwhelming success. First one was during the fiestas de la Calle San Sebastian where huge crowds were expected and recieved. The second edition of the event was set for May 4th and 5th and even though we know people come where good deals and works are shown and offered, we at TPP never expected the huge crowd of art and desgin lovers that made it in the 2 day event.

We hope there is a 3rd and 4th coming up soon because we are ready to show more great art and new artists. This is a great way to get young people into collecting and supporting local artists and designers.

This edition El GuggenSITO inflatable public art piece by mexican artist Eder Castillo was exhibited and proved to be the best in show. Kids and adults of all ages were having a great time at jumping all day. Kids were happy, parents were happy because they  had time to see the works while the kids played. It was an amazing experience to see how art can change the dynamic of an entire event.

Great food and coffe at great prices and everything ran perfectly.

Thanks to everyone who made it and for all the love and support shown.

TPP presents: Nicole Maloof's "Formation, Deformation and Formless"

TPP is proud to present the works of young up and coming artist Nicole Maloof. Nicole Maloof received her BFA from Boston University, and will be attending Columbia University’s MFA program starting in the fall. She has attended multiple residencies at the Vermont Studio Center, and received a Fulbright teaching grant that provided an opportunity to live and work for two years in South Korea. Nicole currently produces her work at the Slugfest Printmaking Workshop in Austin Texas.

 

 

Formation, Deformation, and Formless features new works on paper by Nicole Maloof. The show includes collage, drawing, and a larger selection of etchings. Inspiration for the imagery originates from a variety of sources, but comes together as form is dissolved, taken apart, and recombined to create an unsettling and ambiguous set of narratives.

 

Small marks conglomerate to create larger amorphous masses--clouds, smoke, crystal formations, and kudzu. Decomposition simultaneously occurs, with social norms unraveling and bodies falling apart or splitting open. Amidst the delicate line-work, a strange and unstable world emerges. Men give birth. Bears become prey. Symbols of wealth are met with disregard. This new world asks us to reconcile between these imagined visions and our own perceived reality. For more information on her work you can visit www.nicolemaloof.com

 

Remember all works are under $500 as part of our mission to make great art available to everyone. We will be visting Colleges and Art Schools during the month, Check our Schedule for dates and times. To see hptos of all the available works please visit our Facebook page.

Hope you can make it.
