On April 30, 2010, we celebrated the Opening Reception at the Brazee Street Studios, the opening of MOLD DIGGER exhibition at gallery One One, AND our first Artist Open Studios- all during the first Oakley After Hours of 2010. Each resident artist at the Brazee Street Studios contributed an installation to the show, including Fiori del Campo!
During the renovation of the building that is now the Studios, over 50 graphite molds were discovered stashed in the ceiling. Beautiful and complex in both form and history, these graphite objects inspired a lot of questions by the Studio’s owner and staff: What were they used for? Why were they hidden in the ceiling? How can they be used now? There answer was to turn them over to their new group of studio artists, including Fiori del Campo. Each artist had responded to these molds in their own medium, which were gathered to create gallery One One’s break out exhibition MOLD DIGGER. As the Studios mark the transition from old to new, the show is presented in the spirit of scavenging, re-purposing and building on what was.
The event was a huge success with an amazing turn out. Many thanks to everyone that participated! brazeestreetstudios.com/home/biome_gallery.html
