“2×3: A Generative Artwork Residency Project” will use the A.P.E. Gallery as an artists’ studio, production facility and exhibition space from Sunday through Aug. 13.
During that time, it will provide two-day mini-residencies in the gallery to two artists, Leah Mackin and Sally Clegg, and one collective, Loculus.
The artists will use their time in the gallery to create new work using a photocopier and simple bookmaking tools.
“2×3” creates a transparent space for art-making and experimentation, where the means of production are both exposed and accessible.
The exhibit’s curators, Trevor Powers and Esther S. White, work together as Fugitive Arts, a collaborative, transient curatorial project dedicated to promoting experimental art and emerging artists in western Massachusetts.
There will be an open studio and artists’ reception Aug. 13 from 4 to 8 p.m.
