make tank grows out of the desire for artists to get together and work together. It takes as its model a musical jam session where artists get together to play and share ideas and influences. It involves the idea of a think tank, a place where experts evolve ideas on human problems. Its a make tank because thinking is evolved through making or translated into a process. The ideal make tank are people in a room together, working, absorbed, listening to music or electronic lectures. They are working, talking, laughing. Pushing and pulling language material models and forms. Engaged with simple materials and high minded ideals.

make tank will take place at the LAB Gallery on the south east corner of Lexington Avenue and 47th street, will take place from November 5- November 25. Four artists, Robert Gero, Prem Makeig, Michael Rees, and Matthew West will get together and work together in the space for 3 weeks. Viewers can often see the work being made and the work that is made. These sculptors will use a variety of materials and objects to work in a changing exhibit where their presence and activity is as much the work as the product of the work.
