...To Focus on Alternative Materials

(North Adams, Massachusetts) In conjunction with its Emil Lukas: Moment of Process exhibition, Kidspace at MASS MoCA will hold a family workshop called Dirt, Chocolate & Spaghetti Sauce on Saturday, November 17, from 10:30 A.M. to noon.

New Marlborough, Massachusetts, artist Gabrielle Senza will lead the workshop.
After a kid-friendly tour of the Lukas exhibition, children and adults will join Senza in making drawings with alternative materials such as dirt, chocolate, and spaghetti sauce and exploring the properties of those materials.

Reservations are required, and space is limited.

"We are very excited that Gabrielle is teaching this workshop. Many local students visit Kidspace and see the Lukas exhibition, and this workshop creates a further opportunity for children to explore the art-making process with an artist who, like Lukas, works with unconventional materials. We're also looking forward to greeting many parents and providing the materials for them to have some fun making art with their kids!" commented Molly Polk, associate curator of Kidspace.

American born Gabrielle Senza works in traditional and unorthodox materials.
Her oeuvre includes paintings and drawings as well as artist books, multiples, photography, and sculpture. She has been exhibiting since 1989 and has had shows in New York at O.K. Harris, Kim Foster Gallery, and Nicolas Davies & Co. She has also had solo shows at the David Klein Gallery in Birmingham, Michigan, the Elaine Baker Gallery in Boca Raton, Florida, and Bachelier-Cardonsky in Kent, Connecticut. From 1990 to 1997, Senza co-owned and directed an alternative exhibition space known as SPAZI Contemporary Art in Housatonic, Massachusetts. Senza is currently working on a book about artists who use non-traditional materials to create their work.

Senza's workshop complements the current Emil Lukas exhibition in Kidspace.
Lukas works with a variety of organic and inorganic materials, including plants, insects, plaster, canvas, paint, and found objects to produce abstract paintings, prints, drawings, and sculptures. His works in Moment of Process focus on the process of creating artwork and the inherent properties of the materials he uses. His experiments with materials and processes are often informed by the phenomena in the natural world. For example, for his Larva Painting, Lukas coated larvae with paint and let them crawl across the surface of a large canvas leaving a dense network of interlacing trails.
By giving control of the work to the materials themselves, he weds the art-making process to the life cycles of the insects.

Reservations for the Dirt, Chocolate & Spaghetti Sauce workshop on November 17 can be made by calling Kidspace at 413 664 4481 x8131.
A materials fee of $3 per person will be charged and can be paid on the day of the workshop.
