Pieces of You-topia
RECEPTION 6 - 9 PM SATURDAY NOVEMBER 6 2010 “We want to tap into the imagination of the masses.” Soap Gallery is pleased to present the exhibition Pieces of You-topia, a new project by the members of WWAWUT. Formed at the dawn of a new age, WWAWUT (We will all wake up together) is a loose collective of visual and performing artists engaged in integrating art into the everyday. To this end the artists choose to create work derived from the everyday, incorporating apparel, audio, furniture, food, and refuse into multi-disciplinary projects that result in extending art into the daily lives of the audience. Opening Saturday, November 6th, Pieces of You-topia consists of the full scale recreation of a founding member’s studio. The utopian architect’s sculptures, models, drawings, utopian designs and archival videos will be incorporated into an immersive visual and sonic installation. Visitors will also find opportunities to engage in the collective’s project by contributing apparel, objects, and items to be transformed by WWAWUT and collaborating artists. Donated items will be used as props, absorbed into a year long project, as WWAWUT travels to New York’s Watermill Center for Performance, finally returning to San Francisco for 2 weeks of programing at the LAB. After a final performance at the LAB in August 2011, members of WWAWUT will return the transformed objects to their original owners, who may integrate the reformed furniture and apparel into their everyday lives.
