11. The Artist Is In
The Artist Is In, May 2013, James North Studio, Hamilton
The Artist Is In is a public performance installation of art and craft. The ARTIST IS IN was first performed in Hamilton at the James North Studio in 2013 as a month long installation and has since travelled to a handful of galleries and art shows in Toronto, Burlington and Hamilton.
The Artist aka Lisa Pijuan-Nomura is excited to be a part of Luminato Festival 2022 from June 10 to 14 between the hours of 8pm to 12 am. In an attempt to demystify the work of the artist, she is taking the work out of the solitary studio space into a very public “studio”. While creating her work she will record the time it takes her to create each piece which will then determine the price of the piece. Upon completion of each piece it will be documented, matted and placed on the “gallery wall” available for sale.
During the installation the Artist will follow all of the Rules.
The Artist welcomes conversation, questions and collaboration.
