An opening reception at Artspace, 50 Orange St. New Haven, will kick off the City-Wide Open Studios festival. One work by each CWOS participating artist will be on display throughout the festival. The evening coincides with First Friday on Ninth Square and the annual L.A.M.P. festival of light and illumination on Orange St that extends into the night.
Be sure to pick up the Official Map & Guide at Artspace so you can plan the rest of your time at City-Wide Open Studios.
Special illuminated art pieces will be showcased in the following 9th Square Storefronts: Fornarelli’s Ristorante (99 Orange St.);Fresh Yoga (49 Orange St.) in coordination with Devil’s Gear Bike Shop; Neville Wisdom (63 Orange St.);Fletcher Cameron (91 Orange St.); Baobab Studios (71 Orange St.); Euphoria Salon (57 Orange St.).
Make Haven (266 State St.) will display a special illuminated piece of art that evening on Orange St.
From 8-9:30pm Fantasmagorie Light Exhibition will take place on Orange St.
Artspace invites guests to move outside Artspace onto the streets, which will be aglow with a group exhibition of artists working with light. The exhibition contemplates how a one-night only urban intervention might activate new social spaces and arenas for community-building. This year’s artists were selected by Guest Curator Johannes DeYoung, who is the Faculty Director of the Digital Media Center of the Arts at Yale University, and whose work, “Ego Loser” was recently featured in the Artspace exhibition “Gollum: Monsters of Ruin and the Techno-Sublime”. Artists include: Old Bags, Michael Barton-Sweeney, Teto Elsiddique, Joshua Graver, Aude Jomini, Susan Rogol, and Mark Williams.
At 9:30pm, guests will follow a glowing chain down Crown Street towards Café Nine (250 State St.) to view light installations projected inside and around the building. The works are contributions by the collective Light Artists Making Places. L.A.M.P. pioneered the concept and presentation of the first four CWOS Opening Night light exhibitions. We are thrilled to announce their return! Artists include: Mary Schiffer, Lisa Spetrini, and Liz Squillace & Ruben Marroquin of EcoWorks.
