Paragraph + Project Space / 21 - 23 E 12th
Kansas City, MO
www.CharlotteStreet.org
Great Accommodations is a participatory exhibition project spearheaded by Kansas City based artist Jamie Burkart that highlights the Missouri River within Kansas City, utilizes the central rivers as a social network, and imagines lifestyles for cities on the water. The exhibition runs September 1-October 3 at Paragraph + Project Space, 21-23 East 12th Street, with special extended hours: Tuesday-Sunday, 9am-6pm. Third Friday reception is September 18, 6-9pm, with artist remarks at 6pm.
Burkarts multi-component, rhizomatic, immersive installation will assume the form of a kind of living museum, housed within a massive inflatable environment filling Paragraph and Project Space. It will include interactive video installations, participatory sculptural experiences, computer programs, community projects, and working documentation. Much of the show is made from recycled materials collected by businesses and individuals around the Kansas City area.
Together with collaborator Suzanne Hogan, Burkart has mailed hundreds of letters and placed targeted Facebook advertisements to reach people and places located along the Missouri, Mississippi, Arkansas and Ohio rivers, inviting individuals to contribute their stories and perspectives of life on the river as part of the project. I want this exhibition to become a space where people from every city up and downstream from Kansas City can come and write their own histories together, says Burkart.
