COPYO9O9 New Exhibition in London – September
2010
The Gihon
River Collective (GRC) is an assembly of international
writers and visual artists who were in residency
at the Vermont Studio Center-USA in September
2009, VSC staff, Visiting Artists from this
time, and alumni who encouraged residents to
apply.
An exciting exhibition in London, COPYO9O9, is being
developed by VSC alumni; all September 2009 resident and
visiting artists were invited to join the collective.
VSC staff representation was then added, as we wanted
to create a rounded view of that month. The exhibition
opens in London on September 9, 2010.
As a 2009 VSC resident, I gained invaluable experience
during my time there and it
was the interaction with all these people that
made that happen. COPYO9O9 is the
continuation of the international artistic community
established during our residency. The
countries and climates we live in are as diverse
as our art and we have a desire to bring our
art
to one space.
This exhibition is created in an effort to sustain the
creative energy and motivation to
make new work that occurred in Vermont. We have
the opportunity to bring our shared
experience and passion to our home communities,
to continue to grow as artists and to
cultivate and encourage new audiences. As a result
of this exhibition we hope to persuade others
to travel beyond their everyday lives.
