“Most Folks” will feature 30-40 drawings out of a collection of over 300 created by Marcus Mataga since 2005. A recent graduate of Baylor Law School, Mataga has never exhibited his artwork. During 2012 he posted a drawing a day to Instagram and began getting a lot of attention.
Mataga’s work is largely an exploration of details through inexpensive materials. He draws almost exclusively from photographs, using ballpoint pens and highlighters. Mostly inspired by people, he is more interested in close examination of the subject than the accuracy of the finished piece.
Just at the right time, Teruko Nimura and Tahila Shireem began their project Potentiality. While the fruits of Up Collective’s labor were displayed throughout the halls and gallery at EAST both Nimura and Shireem opened participatory projects for artists and art lovers, a community. Their work focuses on the energies involved in the art making process, individual experiences married into a collaborative art object that embodies a collective energy.
After the East Austin Studio Tour coming up this November, our next exhibition Potentiality will happen in December. The show will consist of installations reflecting the powerful potential of collective efforts, inspired by Native American and Japanese cultural traditions. The artists, Nimura and Mintz, will conduct participatory events for the Austin community to create objects that will be included in the exhibition. Held in the UP Collective community room, the artists will prepare for their exhibition in December by having hourly events where they teach the participants how to create part of their installation.
Nimura will provide yellow paper to create origami flowers and Mintz will provide cyanotype paper for light exposure prints.
Nimura and Mintz will hosting making events at UP Collective during E.A.S.T. on Saturday, November 10th from 11-5 and Sunday, November 18th from 12-4 in the classroom downstairs.
Opening Saturday, December 8th from 7-10pm…R.S.V.P. here.
