Box Factory Gallery

Journey is a multi-media live painting experience that takes the audience on an artist's journey of the act of creation.

The Box Factory

What does it take to bring an idea to life?The Performance:Box Factory Gallery welcomes you to experience art from inside the very act of creation where performance painter, Annika Rhea will present "Journey" with live music by composer Tasso Zapanti and live filming by Javier Alvarez.Journey takes the audience on an artist's journey, from the conception of an idea through the stages of the creative cycle, represented as five different sections of the canvas. The metaphorical narrative follows the story of an idea and highlights the human experience and emotional range that is experienced when bringing a vision to life. Rhea communicates the concepts with her performance painting technique, Body Medium, that utilizes the body as a paintbrush, motion as the strokes and the canvas as a stage to create the 45 foot long abstract expressionist painting. _________________________________________The Evening:The evening will begin upstairs in the Box Factory Gallery to experience live music and to the exhibit The Human Form, featuring works by artists who explore the human form and its relationship to space, emotion and identity. After the performance, audience members will then have a chance to purchase select sizes of the piece created.20% of all art sales will be donated to The Art Therapy Project, a nonprofit mental health organization providing free group art therapy to adults and youth affected by trauma.thearttherapyproject.org________________________________________When and Where:Where: The Box Factory, 1519 Decatur Street, Ridgewood NYWhen: Saturday, October 8th 7pm Doors, 8pm Performance______________________________________Commentary:"Out of all of my past live performances, this will be my most venerable.
