Delivery Systems
In Delivery Systems, 16 artists from across the United States are exhibiting their work alongside the materials, mechanisms and collateral they used to ship that work to the gallery and plan their installation. All the artists live and work more than 100 miles from the Joseph Gross Gallery at the University of Arizona School of Art 鈥 with the farthest over 2,600 miles away.
Delivery Systems references the structures, materials and methods an artist might utilize to transfer and display the artwork. Instructions, hardware and even packaging materials are crucial to the finished product. The application for Delivery Systems asked artists to consider how their work ultimately reaches the viewer and to explain the intentionality of their plans to support the curatorial process, while providing clear instruction to the students who would ultimately be installing their work.
Artists responded to the invitation by proposing works of varied materials, methods and concepts, with common themes including portability, intentional display and viewer experience, and for a few works, a bit of institutional critique:
