LOOK WEST AND THE JAUNT PRESENT:
ONE AND DONE
A GROUP SHOW OF SILKSCREEN PRINTS FROM THE JAUNT ARCHIVES
AUGUST 29TH - OCTOBER 10TH
ONE AND DONE IS A GROUP EXHIBITION PRESENTED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE JAUNT, FEATURING (ALMOST) SOLD OUT SILKSCREEN PRINTS DRAWN FROM THE JAUNT ARCHIVES. THAT’S RIGHT FOLKS, THE PRINTS IN THIS EXHIBITION ARE THE FINAL REMAINING PRINTS FROM EACH TRIP, SO HERE’S YOUR CHANCE TO COLLECT PRINTS THAT ARE SOLD OUT OTHERWISE. THE SHOW BRINGS TOGETHER FOURTEEN ARTISTS FROM AROUND THE WORLD, INTRODUCING A WIDE RANGE OF AESTHETICS AND PERSPECTIVES INTO LOOK WEST.
THE JAUNT’S EFFECTIVENESS LIES IN A SIMPLE PREMISE: SEND AN ARTIST ON A TRIP TO FIND INSPIRATION. BY PROVIDING ARTISTS THE CHANCE TO TRAVEL AND ENCOUNTER NEW ENVIRONMENTS, THE JAUNT GENERATES LASTING IMPRESSIONS THAT INFLUENCE THEIR CREATIVE PRACTICE. “THE JAUNT’S MISSION IS TO CATALYZE PROGRESS AND FEED FRESH INSIGHT INTO THE ARTISTIC PRACTICE OF OUR ARTISTS. THE FIRST STEP IN THIS PROCESS IS TAKING THE ARTIST OUT OF THEIR COMFORT ZONE AND ALLOWING THEM TO EXPERIENCE COMPLETELY NEW SURROUNDINGS.”
AFTER RETURNING HOME, EACH ARTIST CHANNELS THOSE IMPRESSIONS INTO AN ARTWORK REPRODUCED AS A LIMITED-EDITION, HANDMADE SILKSCREEN PRINT. THE RESULTING PRINTS FUNCTION AS UNIQUE TRAVEL DOCUMENTS—PHYSICAL ARTWORKS THAT RECORD AND TRANSLATE THE EXPERIENCE OF THEIR JOURNEY INTO VISUAL FORM.
