Artists Biographyback to top of page |
||||
Mike Smith | "My art has evolved from site-specific installation and its documentation (inspired by Gordon Matta-Clark) into interactive 'events' involving concepts of play, music, movement, community, and importantly, inspiring the inner-child. I co-founded an 'art' group to build and eventually perform within these physical and mental playgrounds, Environmental Encroachment, or 'EE'. Performance, environment, self-expression, and play are some tools and methods for creation, joy and inspiration. |

Kate Riegle - van West | "I am an interactive architect focused on bringing play, exploration, and magic to participants through multi-media work. I came from a background in circus arts and fire dancing, and am currently obtaining my MFA in Interdisciplinary Art and Media from Columbia College in Chicago.
