Inside Out: Artists in the Community II:
|
 |
Mark Jenkins (Washington DC, USA) fashions mystifying moments from the humble medium of packing tape. Using it like past artists have used plaster of paris, he creates objects that are playfully deployed in unexpected ways across the urban landscape. From fire hydrants and parking meters to mischievous babies and fully dressed, life-size people (positioned in all manner of bizarre situations) Jenkins' cast of characters create a humorous parallel universe in the parks and streets of our daily travels.

Inside Out: Artists in the Community II participating artist Mark Jenkins led a fun hands-on workshop demonstrating his unique mold-making technique. Jenkins casts a wide variety of objects using ordinary and inexpensive Scotch Packing Tape courtesy of 3M. This innovative process has vast potential for classroom applications. During the September 15 workshop Jenkins worked with educators and students from RJR Reynolds High School to produce full-body molds. Art educators participating in the September 21 workshop had the opportunity to create their own sculptures utilizing Jenkins's mold-making process.

The Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art and Reynolda House Museum of American Art were pleased to co-present this engaging presentation by Inside Out: Artists in the Community II participating artist Mark Jenkins. Jenkins fashions mystifying moments from the humble medium of packing tape. Using it like past artists have used plaster of paris, he creates objects that are playfully deployed in unexpected ways across the urban landscape. His subjects have ranged from fire hydrants and parking meters to mischievous babies and fully dressed, life-size people (positioned in all manner of bizarre situations). Among other things Jenkins discussed the intriguing cast of characters he has created in and around Winston-Salem, including the mysterious figure inhabiting the grounds at Reynolda House Museum of American Art.
Inside-Out: Artists in the Community II is supported by a grant from The Arts Council of Winston-Salem and Forsyth County with funding from the National Endowment for the Arts, which believes that a great nation deserves great art. In-kind support provided by Sundance Plaza Hotel, Spa and Wellness Center; AdColor of Winston-Salem; Target and 3M.
