Wed 5/13, 10AM – 4PM
Opening Fri 5/15 @ 6-9PM
The father-and-son duo of Keegan and Nick Kuvach has put together a cross-genre artistic collaboration called Bounce, opening at SPACES Gallery Fri 5/15 and running through 7/10.
“Bounce can be a metaphor; a playful thing, a harsh thing, a violent thing, a silly thing, a frightening thing, a frustrating thing, an amusing thing,” they say. “Inherent to all these situations is a push/pull relationship, either literal (rise vs. fall) or metaphorical.”
“In a work of art,” they continue. “the meaning or understanding of the work is frequently a product of yet another type of bounce: a cognitive shift. When a work is initially perceived as one thing and becomes another, or if it is at first confusing to a viewer but then resolves in their mind, a cognitive shift has occurred. Usually there is a deeper understanding of a work after this cognitive shift has occurred. Though often elusive it is this sweet spot, this cognitive shift – which occurs through the arc of the bounce – which we crave as artists.”
But then they add, “And sometimes our bounces are simply comedic.”
But what will it be? What will it look like? You’ll have to go to find out.
Wed 5/13, 10 am – 4 pm: The artists will perform the making of 18 Splash Boxes in the SPACES gallery
