Beginning in April 2006, CAF’s Norton Gallery will transform into a moveable feast of programs, interventions, and opportunities for public engagement, as it launches a new series of artist projects entitled Salon. By inviting artists to create participatory work that blurs the boundaries between gallery visitor and artist, CAF has asked artists to address the tradition, begun in the living rooms of the 18th Century French women, to employ the interaction of a diverse group of literary, artistic and cultural figures to foster an open, transitory, and discursive space.
PAST EXHIBITION IN THE SALON SERIES:
Anissa Mack, On Loan |
April
28 - June 24, 2007 |
Mack's conceptual projects explore the way that art can facilitate
a sense of community among strangers, engaging others in
friendly one-to-one contact. For this exhibition,
the artist will place her artworks in private homes throughout
Santa Barbara and lead tours of these domestic settings.
