smARTE (small art event) series
To conclude the run of the ABAiR exhibition, an artist talk will be held as a part of the smARTE (small art event) series. The evening will begin with a presentation on current Bay Area artists and exhibits by Katya Madrid, followed by an artist talk where Chapline, Muñoz and Stanton will discuss their respective processes and installations for the ABAiR project. The artist talk will be followed by ... a live DJ and dancing into the night.
The ABAiR (Arts Benicia Artist in Residence Program) is a unique amalgam of aninteractive installation process and art exhibition. Arts Benicia has provided three artists: Claudia Chapline, Theresa Muñoz and Thomas Stanton, with an opportunity to create sitespecific installations in a 2,000 square foot space over a period of three weeks. Their three respective installations share the Arts Benicia gallery, addressing themes of local history and
community, LGBT issues and the sonic qualities of the space.
