#eaf18

Friends & fellow earthlings! Me & @audrey_snyder are selling these letterpress prints we made in support of our upcoming project, titled “Into the Ground” at @socratespark for the 2018-19 Emerging Artist Fellowship. Twenty-five bones gets a 12.5 x 18” print flat-packed and shipped to you, or you can scoop one in person for $20. All proceeds go toward supporting our work for #EAF18, specifically materials for a series of workshops we are organizing to take place throughout the summer ~~ stay tuned for more info. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You can purchase prints via the link in my bio or Venmo to @pleasedontfront (include shipping info). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “Into the ground” reflects on processes through which urban ecologies uptake and transform contaminants, and collective bodies realize agency through ground-up organizing. The project forms around the likeness of a covered car, to be dyed with a solution of discarded, oxidized materials during a series of workshops and ceremonies. These assemblies call on visibility and invisibility of discarded objecthood: is it an abandoned vehicle or a public monument? A rusted relic or a deliberate composition? A landfill or a park? ALSO! We are seeking rust metals, car parts, or discarded steel odds and end for the taking in the NYC area. Please give a shout if you are up fo joining the scavenging. And please buy a print or pass on the word if you can! #socratessculpturepark #TheSocratesAnnual #IntoTheGround #weareintotheground #letterpress #woodtype #letterpressprinting #printmaking #printsforsale #wastestreams #fieldwork #audreysnyder #joeriley #socrates

Me & @audrey_snyder are taking over @socratespark IG account today. Tune in for a look under the hood of our project “Into the ground” which is installed at #SocratesSculpturePark through March 24. This video moves through the fabrication and installation process of #intotheground. Do the link-in-bio thing for the full length video and to find out more about the our excavations for #socratesannual18 #eaf18 (at Socrates Sculpture Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuJuS_kFaXw/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=hi00hyximc2o

As fellows at @socratespark this summer me & @audrey_snyder fabricated this tubular steel armature which is both a full-scale model of a 1986 Chevy and all the bones just beneath the surface of our sculpture for #TheSocratesAnnual #EAF18 which opens on October 7, 3-6p. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Our frame has a rust-dyed cover, created through participatory workshops, and over the course of the exhibition it will continue to rust and reveal more of the form beneath the surface. But for the most part it will remain hidden, with the exception of iron stains, oxide impressions, and these few images. ⁣ ⁣ This thing was a wonderful, sweaty, satisfying challenge to design and zap together. It is solid as hell, surprisingly light, fits on a trailer, and built to live and last outside. We would love to find it a second home after the exhibition closes in March, 2019. Which is all just to say: if anyone is looking out for a custom roll cage for a ‘86 Caprice headed for a demolition derby or whatever...let’s talk 🔥 (at Socrates Sculpture Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/BncLT9JFIE9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=fecb6n0lqblq

Here’s a warp-speed rendering of slow-motion rust dyeing. The other day we unraveled the last of our rust-dyed textiles for the “into the ground” project at Socrates with the help of @cassitacassita & @5andrea (📽 by Andrea 🔗). Next the material gets assembled as a slip cover and installed with the finished work at @socratespark for #TheSocratesAnnual #EAF18 opening October 7. (at Socrates Sculpture Park)

Hearty, earthy thanks to all who came and corroded to our rust-dye jumble & workshop at @socratespark this past weekend. There is actually nothing better than playing in the dirt and making a mess with new and old friends. Today we unpacked the collective oxide composition with help from @pats.pants & @5andrea. These imprints will form a slip- cover for our contribution to the upcoming #TheSocratesAnnual #EAF18 exhibition, opening on October 7. Rust never rests! #weareintotheground (at Socrates Sculpture Park)

Had a super nice time rust-dyeing textiles with visitors to @socratespark this weekend. Nothing quite like kids and adults alike getting stoked about making a mess and taking it home. In coming months @audrey_snyder and I will be hosting more workshops and gatherings at Socrates as part of our upcoming project for #EAF18 — Into the ground: wastestreams & fieldwork (at Socrates Sculpture Park)
