The VAS ARCHIVE presents:

Welcome to the first in a series of online exhibitions featuring the work of Valley Art Share members! Inspired by the word 'Economy' this collection of images and videos were pulled from the VAS archive by Jackie Dougherty and Julia Handschuh. We believe artists approach and express things in unique and expansive ways. Economy for this exhibition was taken as both something that is applied to visual material and the subject of the work.

Some things this makes us think about are:

economy of scale

cash economy

cultural economy

exchange

gift giving/gift economy

bodies

the land/ecology

material

community

production and labor

resources

capitalism

market

value

ephemeral / object / digital art

alternatives

protest / outrage

displacement

gentrification

fine art / craft

food

The exhibition features work by: Antonia Cianfrani, Ramiro Davaro-Comas, Jacqueline Dougherty, Seth Gregory, Julia Handschuh, Rachel Hankinson, Perry Baron Huntoon, Marc Israel, KPAO! Kennedy Park Arts Outreach, Andrew Knox, Claire Lau, Chris Millette, Lisa Joy Merrill, Haley Morgan, Burns Maxey, Pablo Robles, and Fletcher Smith.

We invite you to post comments or other images to this page below. We look forward to future online exhibitions and conversations. If you'd like to propose an exhibition we'd love to hear from you.

Economically Yours,

Jackie & Julia

Comment by Lisa Joy Merrill on January 29, 2011 at 2:09pm: Thanks for curating this show and including my work! I agree with KPAO and Jennifer, what a great way to share/view art!

Comment by KPAO! Kennedy Park Arts Outreach on January 26, 2011 at 6:43pm: Thanks for including KPAO! art buttons! Curating collections of work from the site like this is a great idea. It's interesting to see how changing the context of the individual pieces this way impacts our perception of the work.
