Image from Workbook by Ann Tarantino and Kate McGraw

DC denizens, listen up!

Thursday, April 15th, 20x200 artist Ann Tarantino will be participating in a panel discussion at Flashpoint, in conjunction with her show, Workbook, with her collaborator Kate McGraw.

Kate McGraw and Ann Tarantino collaborate on planned and improvised drawings created directly on the walls of the gallery. The artists draw using their own signature styles while also responding and referring to one another’s mark-making. The artists film the process and the resulting video will become a part of the art, rather than just documentation of the process.

Workbook is a video that documents the ten days artists Kate McGraw and Ann Tarantino will spend creating a mammoth work stretching across the walls of the Gallery at Flashpoint. The installation will be on view beginning March 19, 2009 and the film will be projected at the exhibition entrance beginning March 28, 2009.

Financial support for the production of the video will be provided by the sale of prints hand-marked by the artists. Each 7½" x 7½" print will be hand-marked and embellished by Kate and Ann and hand-stamped with a signature seal created by the artists.

By purchasing unique prints, buyers have an opportunity to become art patrons who foster the careers of emerging artists. All patrons will be invited to a special launch event on March 28, 2009 at the Gallery at Flashpoint.
