Rock, Paper, Scissors, Shoot Vol. 1.2: That Melted Snowman (Opening and Panel)

Rock, Paper, Scissors, Shoot is a series organized by Flying House Arts Collective in the Red Giant project space, exploring the relationship between painting, photography, and sculpture. Across three one week exhibitions with panel discussions, the series pairs two artists from different media to look at the narrative tension that can emerge between them, and to reexamine the stereotypes, contrasts, and associations that have formed around each.

Vol. 1.2, That Melted Snowman: Between Photography and Sculpture, pairs Marnie Ellen Hertzler and AX Qin. Beginning with land art and the temporary sculpture that surrenders itself to the weather, the show considers how photography gives a fleeting object a more lasting, statue like presence, and how photography has developed a sculptural vision of its own. Along the way it asks what reverence or unease we hold toward the body, and where the flesh and blood of photographic sculpture comes from.

Opening and panel discussion Friday, November 20, 5 to 7pm. $5 RSVP. On view through November 28.
