“In the Toilet”
An Exhibition of Function Meets Art
June 1 - August 25, 2002
This
exhibit was conceived as I was staring at my toilet.
It was sitting on the front porch. Why
the front porch you ask? Well, it
was leaking, in fact it leaked all over the floor.
So, out came the toilet. The
most convenient place to put it was the front porch.
As I stared at the poor forlorn object, I thought why are they not made
more beautiful? They are made of
porcelain after all and could be painted just like a beautiful vase.
A "Call to Artists" was put out and from the entries received, 5 artists were chosen to paint toilets. They are:
Randall Gunter
Carla Foster
Colleen Corbet
Keith Swecker
Michael Sullivan
The exhibit will premier on June 1, 2002
In addition to painted toilets, there will also be an exhibit of decorated toilet seats, and "toilet paper." The deadline for these entries is May 20, 2002.
