RIPPLE EFFECT
SPANISH POETRY READING
What happens when 26 artists play a game of “telephone”
with their art? When one artist creates a piece of art, and a second artist creates a piece of art in response to the first piece, and so on… ?
OPENING RECEPTION: Sat, August 21, 6 to 9p
THROUGH Oct 2
Since July 5, French artist Corinne Spielewoy has been working in collaboration with 25 local artists to create a collection of interconnected pieces of art – in which one anchor piece of art has a gradually spreading influence on all of the others. In preparation for the opening of the exhibit, each artist was given three days to create a piece in response to the previous piece. The culmination of this cooperative effort will be featured in Ripple Effectwith a variety of media represented, including dance,
video, sculpture, and painting.
Inspired by the idea that it is vital for humans to be aware
of our connection to each other, Spielewoy’s goal is to bring
meaning back into human relationships through art projects
that encourage direct human contact. For more information

About gallery F. @ Scarritt Bennett...
gallery F. @ Scarritt Bennett serves as a showcase for emerging and established contemporary and "outsider" artists, which includes untrained artists and those with mental disabilities. Because the gallery is supported by the non-profit Scarritt-Bennett Center, its independence from commercial constraints allows it to give artists a unique opportunity to explore experimental approaches to art. This kind of freedom allows thought-provoking subject matter and the use of highly contemporary techniques and materials. The exhibitions thus have an inherently educational character, which supports the mission of Scarritt-Bennett Center.
An Artist In Residence Program provides studio space on the Scarritt-Bennett campus for up to seven artists, in exchange for their support of the operations of the gallery (which includes the The Front Porch with its gift and book shop and coffee bar). The artists thus cooperatively create an inspiring space for other artists and guests to meet, exchange ideas, and relax in an artistic and inspirational ambience.
gallery F. @ Scarritt Bennett collaborates with the art departments of several local universities including Tennessee State, Vanderbilt, Fisk and Watkins College of Art, Design & Film, as well as non-profits such as Vanderbilt Kennedy Center, Pacesetters, and The Hermitage.
gallery F. @ Scarritt Bennett was voted "Best Contemporary Art Space" by the editors of The Nashville Scene magazine in 2009.
