Gray Wash: design art is an exhibition featuring 16 artists whose practices up until now have been rooted largely in either design|media art or fine art. For this exhibition, the artists and designers work in four distinct collaborative groups that have emerged from a student-led workshop at UCLA. This exploratory class was designed to consider the varying methods and approaches attendant to each field, and to specifically investigate the moments of commonality that may or may not be offered by various kinds of institutional delineations. As a culmination of this inquiry, each group will present not only an artwork, but something that underlines the result of differing modes of collaborative art making. Less a concise statement than a broad investigation, this exhibition presents works that double as readable records of various collaborative approaches, which among other things momentarily highlight, obliterate, generate and/or combine distinct individual practices into one form.
