Wednesday, July 10 at 7 p.m. – WEST RUTLAND – Artist Jordan Loeppky-Kolesnik arrived at the Carving Studio and Sculpture Center on July 1 for a one-month residency. Based in Los Angeles, Loeppky-Kolesnik’s installation works use amphibiousness as a metaphor for queer transformation through exertion and entropy. Loeppky-Kolesnik collaborates frequently with artist Rindon Johnson, who will arrive at the Carving Studio later in July for their joint residency. Their collaborative works are informed by an interest in speculative fiction, land art, traditional crafts, and architecture. They question the psychological and social implications of land-based art, and its potential for narrative meaning, and create objects and architectures that set free emotional states, renegotiating socially constructed modes of being and acting. Loeppky-Kolesnik will present an Artist Talk on Wednesday, July 10 at 7 p.m. at the Carving Studio, 636 Marble St., West Rutland. The talk is free and open to the public.
