Art with a Plan
Samuel Schimek and Rob Mack are local artists with a commercial streak, and they’ve ingeniously wrapped their collaborative installation, Microclimates, into a kind of artsy business plan, with its own website and social-media persona. It started out early this year with a successful Kickstarter fundraising campaign, which has now segued into a running online progress report, and the finished product promises to also diverge from the norm by serving as a showcase for other brands: the fashion and textile designs of Rebecca Peebles, for instance, and the music of Solid Bump Records.
It follows, then, that tonight’s opening for Microclimates, a series of three interdisciplinary graphic environments through which an audience will wander, will also include a fashion show, food trucks and a pop-up shop selling products and visual elements drawn from the installation itself.
Experience Microclimates and its sideshows from 6 to 9 p.m. at Super Ordinary Gallery, 3126 Larimer Street, where it will remain on view through July 30; don’t be surprised if gallery owners Tran and Josh Wills, who are known for their event-planning skills, keep the excitement going with further parties or activities in the coming weeks.
