Fritz Haeg- Edible Estates

We are very excited to present a lecture by Fritz Haeg(Edible Estates, Garden Lab, Sundown Salon, and 2008 Whitney Biennial participant) on Thursday April 10th, 7pm at The Contemporary Museum. Haeg is currently working on an Edible Estates project, in conjunction with The Contemporary Museum in Baltimore, that is part of an ongoing series of "Regional Prototype Gardens" in which Edible Estates replaces conventional front lawns with "edible garden landscapes."

Baltimore!


"Edible Estates is an attack on the front lawn and everything it has come to represent!"

Young artists/teachers on art education

AYOQ is pleased to present a discussion between four young artists/educators all holding similar but potentially divergent positions at separate art educational institutions, which offer different modes of arts curricula, via each participants thoughts on the implementation of their educational philosophy. The panel will address their thoughts and concerns about art education by focusing on the practice of teaching as a young artist.

Panelists are:
Derrick Adams (MICA adjunct faculty,) Amanda Burnham (Towson University,) Ethan Greenbaum (Pratt Institute,thehighlights.org,) and Fabienne Lasserre (MICA full time faculty)

The discussion will take place on Monday, March 24, 7:00 PM at Load of Fun Gallery 120 W North Avenue (corner of North and Howard,) Baltimore MD.

Ethan Greenbaum/ The Highlights

Within the next month or so we will be posting some information concerning an upcoming event with artist Ethan Greenbaum, but for now here is a link to a project that he is involved in. The Highlights is web archive that is updated bi-monthly with artist's essays, web based, and curatorial projects. It's awesome and you should look at it.

Thanks Joe

AYOQ would like to thank everyone for coming out to the film screening with Joe Swanberg. We're glad everyone stuck around for the post-screening conversation and we had a chance to talk to Joe about his new film.



We would also like to thank Irene Hofmann and The Contemporary Museum for hosting the event and an extra thanks to Joe for coming all the way to Baltimore to screen his film prior to the actual premier.



Hope to see everyone again soon.

Joe Swanberg Feb. 6th!

AYOQ is pleased to announce a free, world premier, sneak peak at filmmaker Joe Swanberg’s most recent film, the title of which cannot be revealed here due to it’s “sneak peak” status, at 7pm at The Contemporary Museum on February 6th. Please join us for a screening of the film and discussion with Joe afterwards.

From Joe Swanberg:

Please be the first audience to see my new movie. It's about a long distance relationship. This one was very hard to make and I almost went crazy. I worked with my friend Greta. We got into a lot of fights and sometimes we hated each other. Sometimes we loved each other. You will see all of that in the movie. I'm not going to say the name of the movie because this is a sneak preview and I'm not supposed to show it to anyone yet. Seriously, you will be the first audience to see it.

Love,
Joe Swanberg
