Bad Art Night: Thomas Hirschhorn-esque

Saturday, July 28, 2007, 5:00 - 7:00 p.m.

5:00 pmto7:00 pm

Thomas Hirschhorn-esque is the next installment in the Bad Art Night series. The artist Thomas Hirschhorn is known for his room-size installations made of tin-foil, magazines, packing tape and other non-traditional materials. Hmmm. . . those are precisely the types of materials that make a fantastic Bad Art Night. Come help create a giant installation in the painting studio next to the Gallery that knocks-off Hirschhorn’s style in the worst possible way.

The Bad Art Night series is an aesthetically liberating experience where artist and non-artist alike get together to make terrible, horrible, no good, very bad art. Painting, collage, drawing, sculpture, performance, video, abstraction, figuration – no medium or genre is safe in the hands of our participants. If you feel a bit timid dipping your toe into the choppy waters of high aesthetics, fear not, Bad Art Night is all about splashing around the shallow end of the artistic pool. Come and join us for a fun filled evening. Remember, no good art is ever allowed to be made at Bad Art Night. Check your aesthetic sensibilities at the door.

Parking at UCCS is free on Saturdays.
