Sour Harvest

Juxtapoz just posted a really nice in-depth interview with both Armsrock and Imminent Disaster that goes into great detail regarding the concept and vision behind ‘Refuge’ – opening this Friday at Thinkspace.

Excerpt:
In their upcoming, highly anticipated collaborative exhibition ‘Refuge’, Armsrock and Imminent Disaster dance with concrete and abstract manifestations of the term.

When suggesting that, perhaps Refuge is a call to political action, I was told quite the contrary. The show is not about raising awareness. “People are already aware” Imminent Disaster and Armsrock tell me.

Nor would they dream of being so bold as to offer solutions “as an urban designer or policymaker might”.

Check out the full interview here:

Exhibition run dates: March 12th – April 2nd, 2010

Opening Reception: Fri, March 12th 7-11PM

The digital preview for ‘Refuge’ is now ready – both delivered some amazing works for the show:

Dailydujour swung by the gallery this evening to take some shots of our new show coming together. Armsrock and Imminent Disaster were putting the finishing touches on ‘Refuge’, and Jack captured some nice shots (including the one above) of their collaborative installation coming together and some of the works featured in the show.

Check out the full visit here.

“Working without color, the stark results invite viewers to reflect on our current plight and perhaps our new impending reality.” – Dailydujour
