"A core component of the Colossal-curated exhibition, No One Knows All It Takes, is community participation. Each of the artists- Bryana Bibbs, Raoul Deal, Maria Gaspar, and Swoon ( previously)-is deeply engaged with the people they portray and collaborate with, a commitment that inspires nuanced, insightful projects and a truly communal process. As part of the exhibition at the Haggerty Museum of Art, we've considered how to reflect this mode of working through programming and a participatory project."
"The final piece in the show is Bibbs' "Weaving Stories," which consists of a large loom mounted on the gallery wall, along with threads, a paper shredder, and other materials nearby. Once viewers have considered each of the artists' works, they're invited to contribute to a collective tapestry on the loom or create a smaller, individual piece to take home."
"In addition to "Weaving Stories," No One Knows All It Takes also offers an opportunity to engage with Gaspar's "Disappearance Jail (Wisconsin)" in a public event on October 9. Following a discussion about the intersection of art and incarceration with Dr. Robert S. Smith, the artist will lead attendees in a "punch party," a workshop in which participants use a hole punch to obscure images of jails, prisons, and detention facilities."
No One Knows All It Takes centers community participation and features artists Bryana Bibbs, Raoul Deal, Maria Gaspar, and Swoon. Bibbs' Weaving Stories installs a large wall-mounted loom with threads, a paper shredder, and materials for visitors to contribute to a collective tapestry or create individual pieces to take home. Participants may write feelings and memories and interlace shredded notes into the work. Gaspar's Disappearance Jail (Wisconsin) will be engaged through a public October 9 event including a discussion with Dr. Robert S. Smith and a punch party to obscure images of detention facilities. Colossal will host a September 24 conversation with Deal and Dr. Sergio M. González on immigration, wellbeing, and making art.
