The Open Source Pop-Up Dinner is a curated event that aims to bring the community together for excellent food, great wine, and discussion about the topic of the evening. The topic of this Pop-Up Dinner will be: Exclusive art limits growth.
The theme of each dinner is taken from the 11 Commandments of the cHURCH OF MONIKA, a set of concepts that Open Source staff, board members and supporters view as important in community and art. Rather than having our commandments set in stone, these can (and have) changed over the years–and are always open to suggestions from our community.
This dinner will be hosted by Lisa Evreinoff Linker and Pim Zeegers, founder of Pim Philip Experiences, which provides custom travel and event experiences in NYC. Special guests Owen Armour and Hubert Dobler will be in attendance.
Owen Armour works at the tense edge of sound and sculpture. He welds these mediums into an indistinguishable third mode. Armour is interested in subtle acoustics changes in space, both real and imaginary. He also experiments with pressure as he uses his body to mold materials like concrete, ceramics and metal. Armour is a Swedish-Australian artist who lives and works in Copenhagen, Denmark. Recently he has exhibited internationally at Vermilion Sands, Copenhagen; Halifax Independent Filmmakers Festival, Canada; New Jörg, Vienna; Officin, Copenhagen; ReMap 4, Athens; The Lot, Antechamber, Copenhagen; peinture et sculpture, Copenhagen; and Sejerø Festival, Denmark. His recent residencies include Artspace Sydney, CPH AIR, Copenhagen; and Banff Centre, Canada. His work will be included in the upcoming “Permanent Construction” exhibit at Open Source Gallery.
Abstraction at the intersection of technology and art, Hubert Dobler’s work uses chaos and masculine tools, such as motorcycles, chainsaws and concrete drums, recording the marks these machines generate when allowed to exist outside their traditional use. Roaring, bucking and crashing, his machines highlight the power and energy trapped inside everyday technology. By taking apart and rearranging objects out of context, Dobler examines the emotional and visceral ties that the viewer may experience when machines operate with unrestrained abandon. Dobler has exhibited at BRIC, Sculpture Center, ArtPrize, Front Room Gallery and Open Source Gallery among many others.
