In this time of mass manufacturing and outsourcing, making by hand can be a potent and rebellious act. What is the allure of the handmade, the laboriously crafted, in a time of digital saturation? Division of Labor presents twelve artists from Baltimore, Philadelphia, Chicago and Los Angeles, and asks what meticulous processes and time consuming approaches can bring to an idea. Featuring works that employ a spectrum of methods from extreme force to remarkable delicacy, this exhibition will explore the role of old craft traditions and new craft inventions in contemporary art practices.
Artist Renee van der Stelt will do a drawing-based performance the night of the opening.

From the theft of fire [by Prometheus], to contamination through water [Leviticus]; echoing the home of invention and the cornerstone laying by Charles Carroll of Carrollton; a commercial enterprise dissolves the myth of bullets and opens onto hope as poison at the bottom of Pandora’s box.
Scattering the fragments of history to the sound of falling water, this once tallest building in the US becomes a site of modest explorations and play.
Featuring site specific performances, video, drawing, installation, food, and lectures.

MOVING TO UTOPIA: UNPACKING THE QUEST FOR A MORE SUSTAINABLE LIFE
EXHIBITION DATES: OCTOBER 22 – 29
PROJECT BY BARRY FEBOS
SEND-OFF PARTY: FRIDAY OCTOBER 29, 7-10PM
/////////////////////////////////////////////////
Moving to Utopia documents the efforts of Barry Febos, a young ecologically minded artist, as he sets out to begin a tour back and forth across the United States in his waste vegetable oil powered Volkswagen with the goal of finding a more sustainable way of life. Through a live-in exhibition of photos, drawings, maps and video as well as an archive of necessary possessions and a silent auction of the unnecessary, you’re invited to take an intimate look at a quest for sustainable living.
Barry will be moving into the gallery space for a period of one week along with all of his belongings, as he proceeds to uncover his past and present impact on the world and to chart out a more ecological future. He will be cataloging and pairing down all of his current possessions and resources to create an archive of those supplies that will be needed for his quest as well as relevant documents, drawings and videos. Each possession that is not needed will be gifted, sold, or bartered to those who can make the best use of it*. The show will also serve as an adhoc exhibition of utopian projects and sites across the country which have inspired this quest, as well as the friendships, camp sites, and potential waste veggie oil sources that will sustain it. This process will be visible to the public throughout the week via the gallery’s display window on Howard Street.
*Bidding on Barry’s surplus belongings will take place by silent auction during the reception, and afterwards on the web, all proceeds benefit Barry’s quest for utopia.
