"Symbodigy, autochthonous expressions on flesh," is
an exploration in the use and abuse of symbols in society. We need look
no further than the logo on our underwear or the ornament on the hood
of our car to recognize ubiquitous branding. We define ourselves and others
by the logos on our glasses and the crosses hanging from our necks Along
comes Symbodigy. A chance for the public to assign meaning to new symbols,
adorn themselves with those symbols, alter meanings, and change the symbols
on their skin. Thus, a microcosm of symbology is created.
Curated by Angelica Garcia [db] and Cheryl Gottschall [db], this interactive
show was pioneered by screen-printing artist Eileen Chevalier to explore
the fusing of symbols with the body. During the opening event, visitors
will be able to participate in the unusual process of screen-printing
graphics onto themselves. Also on display will be photos by well-known
local photographer Gottschall, as well as framed artwork by Chevalier.
Videos by Dave Zahn , Scot Dunlap, Steve Crell will be shown. Raymond
Goodman will be on site photographing the event and your body adornments.
Your skin is our canvas at this multi-faceted show!
The Symbodigy
team is led by Eileen Chevalier and includes: Steven Crell, Scot Dunlap,
Angelica Garcia
[db], Raymond Goodman,
Cheryl
Gottschall [db], and Dave
Zahn.
