Kate Pocrass: Portable Exhibition Venue

Each exhibition by Kate Pocrass is worn on and hidden inside normal and modified clothing (the entire exhibition is worn by one person): Turn red hat inside out, Unzip sides of back pockets, Unsnap pouch from the inside of jacket, Kick up feet - reveal sole of shoe, Take out wallet - shuffle through, Press play on portable CD player.

She calls this project the Portable Exhibition Venue. . and it "is created specifically for the individual artist. Artists are chosen either on the basis of their previous work or perhaps in part to an interesting conversation we may have had. There are no slide submissions, no resumes, and no ass-kissing."

"Each Venue circumvents the usual gallery process and creates an alternative to traditional art spaces. This makes the artwork readily available and accessible to a non-gallery-hopping audience. "

"The Venues are about everyday attire, casual settings, mundane & unspectacular surroundings, and people being able to interrupt me while I am out doing my daily activities."
