groundwork

What are our grounding practices? In times of disorientation and dislocation, how can we cultivate physical space within and around us to foster creative expression?

This spring, Open Space has asked three artists to share their grounding practices in groundwork, a series of small artist talks paired with exercises designed to open up how we relate to our bodies and to place.

Through the month of June, find videos from artists Madeline, Audie Murray, and Zoe Kreye on the Open Space website and social media. Each artist will talk about their practice and share some of their work, before inviting us to ground in body and place through presence, attention, and responsive action. Folks are invited to share their responses to these exercises on social media or by email to literary [at] openspace.ca
