Crows , third exhibition of stencil artist Greg Boudreau organized by Form/Space Atelier, including conceptual/co-located (Con)Spire to Perfection , which appeared in two galleries simultaneously.
Spire was the inaugural collaboration between Boudreau and Form/Space Atelier, space two; 2407 1st Avenue 98121.
Greg Boudreau prepared this proposal statement prior to the execution of November 2009's exhibit: "The project for Form/Space will be called "SPIRE." It will essentially consist of a central spire constructed of salvaged wood on the '2nd landing' (of the gallery) with possibly one or two separate partial spires. The spires will be loosely modeled on the structure of construction crane frames. The walls will be filled with a "massive" quantity of single layer hand drawn bird stencils printed on frames of salvaged wood. The intent to create a project/installation that emphasizes the vertical quality of the gallery of Form/Space Atelier. Spire also combines our original ideas (Boudreau and Form/Space Atelier Curator Paul Kuniholm) of having outside studio work mixed with an atelier project. Because of the 'freer' nature of the execution of the project I've been changing my ideas and approach more than usual."
The build for Spire can be witnessed HERE .
