Breath Portrait (pink drop) by Ann Tarantino

20x200 artist Ann Tarantino and collaborator Kate McGraw are working on an "improvisational wall drawing and video installation" at Flashpoint in DC. The piece will be on view from March 19 to April 17.

From the press release:

Having collaborated on works on paper for the past two years, the artists will now explore the interaction of their work with an architectural space by working directly on the gallery walls. With its focus on process and impermanence, Workbook marks a turning point in their collaboration, while transforming the gallery into a temporary studio. Using techniques both planned and improvised, the artists will engage in a mark-making exchange that will run the entire length of the gallery. Each artist will make marks familiar to her own stylistic vocabulary, but will also borrow materials and stylistic conventions from the other artist. The final, mammoth artwork will stretch across the gallery walls like a book, a nonlinear narrative waiting to be read and experienced by the audience.
