SUMMARY:sTo Len Exhibition Opening: Shadow Assembly of the Haw
DESCRIPTION:NYC based artist sTo Len is the current artist in residence at LEVEL Retreat\, a local residency program in Chapel Hill\, NC. During his stay\, sTo has collaborated with the Haw River Assembly to convert trash collected from the local watershed into a series of prints and mixed media artworks. Len created special bags for the 32nd annual Haw River Clean-Up-A-Thon and asked some of its 344 volunteers to save objects with “art potential” that were found throughout 29 different locations. These objects serve as the foundation of sTo Len’s solo exhibition\, Shadow Assembly of the Haw\, a series of mono prints created with what was found. The prints are made with a self-invented technique called gomitaku\, or trash impression\, which is the artist’s adaptation of the Japanese printing method called gyotaku (fish impression). Gomitaku similarly uses sumi ink to create prints with the objects by inking\, stamping and rubbing them onto paper and fabric. The results are patterned forms\, some familiar and some abstract\, that become a pictorial writing system to conjure the dark shadows cast by these castaways in our watershed. \nsTo Len is a printmaker\, installation\, sound and performance artist with interests in improvisation and experimentation within a variety of media. His printmaking work updates traditional techniques into an experimental collaboration with nature and a site of discourse on environmentalism and art activism. The cross-disciplinary nature of Len’s work includes transforming public spaces such as a river into an art studio\, recycling waste into art materials\, creating a community pirate radio station\, and hosting water ritual performances at Superfund sites. sTo Len is based in Queens\, NY with familial roots in Vietnam and Virginia\, and his work incorporates these bonds by connecting issues of their history\, environment\, traditions and politics. sTo Len has exhibited his artwork internationally and co-founded the alternative arts space Cinders Gallery in Brooklyn\, NY. sTo Len was the first artist in residence at AlexRenew Wastewater Treatment facility in Alexandria\, VA and is the current artist in residence at the Department of Sanitation in NY. \nSee more of his work here: www.stoishere.com and on Instagram: @stoishere\nLearn more about LEVEL Retreat: www.levelretreat.com and on Instagram: @levelretreat \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Fafnir Adamites: Artist Talk and Demonstration
DESCRIPTION:Fafnir Adamites\, a sculptor from Western Massachusetts\, will be visiting Chapel Hill as an artist-in-residence at Level Retreat thanks to an artist grant from the Orange County Arts Commission. During her stay\, she will be hosting this free artist talk and hands-on demonstration about her process. Fafnir uses traditional craft processes – such as feltmaking\, weaving\, and papermaking – to create starkly geometric pieces that serve as meditations on trauma and memory. \nOn her drive down to North Carolina\, Fafnir made stops at several memorials – such as The National 9/11 Pentagon Memorial\, Heather Heyer’s memorial in Charlottesville\, and The National Memorial for Peace and Justice – to reflect upon their purpose and construction. She’s keenly interested in how people behave in public places of mourning\, and how memorial design choices may not always be conducive to each visitor’s expression of anguish. \nFafnir’s pieces inhabit a similar space of relived memory by utilizing the same strategies as memorials – the negative space\, the hard angles\, the minimalist palettes. Her work grapples with the conflicts between contemporary versus utilitarian art\, public versus private grief\, and abstract design versus site-specificity. \nAttendees of this event can sign up for a private tour of Level Retreat to see Fafnir’s work. \n\n\n	Related
