Exhibition: Projecting the Colorfield:  Light/Color/Cloth

April 10-april 29, 2007

From April-July 2007, Washington DC will host Colorfield Remix, the largest celebration of painting ever held in the Washington D.C area.  The event honors the 1950's and 1960's Color Field visual art movement and the Washington Color School, which put the capitol city on the art world map.  ColorField Remix includes exhibitions, public art projects, artists' talks, lectures, children's programs, and several events honoring Color Field and Washington Color School painters as well as contemporary artists influenced by these movements.  More than 30 Washington area museums, galleries, arts organizations, and businesses are participating, including the Heirshorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, The National Museum of Women in the arts, The Philips Collection, The National Gallery of Art, The Kreeger Museum, and the Corcoron College of Art and Design.

Meat Market Gallery, a converted historic space that was originally a Hispanic grocery and meat market, announces an exhibition conceived by Charlotte Andrew that reinterprets key elements of the ColorField movement in terms of light, space and color projection, and weave of the support structure.  Viewers will be invited to participate by choosing a garment to wear that becomes the canvas for color and light projections.  The garments are created by invited artists and designers utilizing an inventive range of materials and fibers.  Luanne Stovall, Julie Miller, and Amelia Winger-Bearskin are collaborating on a color, light and sound installation.
