ONE SHOT
Irina Novarese
PARTICIPATIVE ARTIST TALK Friday, October 27, 7:00-8:30 P.M.
MING Studios‘ current artist in residence, Irina Novarese of Turin, Italy, presents a participatory public artist talk and related to her upcoming solo exhibition ONE SHOT. The project examines the fact and fiction of historical photos and attendees will be welcomed to contribute their own interpretation of the photo at hand into Novarese’s research —ultimately making a mark on the final presentation.
The origin of Novarese’s site-specific, solo exhibition ONE SHOT is an investigation into an image sourced from the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation entitled All Female Survey Crew taken in 1918, during the works for the Mindoka infrastructure Project in Idaho.
The photo seems to be the only one available that documents a completely female survey crew until the 1950s.
