FROM KOLAJ 27<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Karkhana Collaboration Project<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What can the sixteenth century imperial workshops of the Mughal Empire teach us about working collaboratively? In KOLAJ #27<\/a>, Carlyn Clark writes about her experience of The Karkhana Collaboration Project where eight artists from Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States collaborate on a single series of work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“In January 2018, a group of eight artists began a collaborative art experiment. What would happen if each artist worked in succession on sixteen pieces of art? Beginning with a 15\u201d square of sturdy paper, each artist needed to complete a layer in a month, the work must stay flat enough to mail, and should include documentary notes on the back of the piece. Beyond these guidelines, anything was allowed,” she writes. “Each layer required a different approach and a new way of proceeding.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The notes artists made on the back of Dark Matter<\/em> reflect their thoughts about making. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Nancy Kay sought out eight artists to attempt a new iteration of the modern Karkhana model. Rather than sharing a singular artistic practice, each artist brings something different to the mix,” writes Clark. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Portico Bowman creates installation art, ceramics and mixed media; Carlyn Clark is a textile artist; Johnny Fox works in collage, printmaking and assemblage; Margaret Lazzari paints and draws; Luke Reichle is a painter; Chris Russell is an illustrator; Caryl St. Ama is an encaustic painter; and Nancy Kay Turner is a mixed media artist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
