The RJP 2.0 Gallery Kit was first displayed as an installation/performance entitled “UNPACKING ACCESS” as a participating organization in the Texas Biennial 2011 in Austin, Texas.
RJP 2.0 Gallery Kit
Utilizing our surrounding, existing infrastructures, (shipping systems, free website modules, home depot, rental trucks, etc…) RJP offers engineered, multi-use components as a complete “gallery kit.” Accessible and economically viable, the “kit” offers the potential to sustainably expand outreach and community engagement.
In keeping with notions of accessibility, transparency, information sharing and all that good stuff… the RJP present the RJP 2.0 Gallery Kit as a series of instructional packets. This information will act as an aid for those interested in building their own Nomadic Gallery.
The 1st Annual Dallas Art In The District Art Fair features an array of contemporary emerging art galleries [and artists]. Art In The District provides participating galleries [and artists] with a platform to present new works to a strong and growing audience. Art In The District is for everyone from the first-time buyer to the art savvy collector.
The event is an attempt to present more localized arts and galleries during the Dallas Art Fair, which boasts 45 international art dealers and an attendance of over five thousand in 2009. “Art in the District” was conceived and realized by Ro2 Art, comprised of Jordan Roth and Susan Roth-Romans, and Bryan Embry of Ross Akard Gallery.
The Fairmount, 1717 N. Akard Street, Dallas, is directly across the street from the Dallas Art Fair held at the F.I.G. in downtown Dallas. The exhibition will take place on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
Stop by if you get a chance… Please call or e-mail Ryder for more information.
Apparently the Ryder Jon Piotrs Nomadic Gallery has received a Puffin Foundation Grant.
We wrote the grant in 2008. We received the 1099 tax form yesterday, but never received the check or accompanying paperwork. (I suppose it is due to our nomadic nature. ha.)
We are thankful and elated at the good fortune that has blessed us. Receiving a grant from such a reputable foundation further strengthens our resolve in the benefits of creating a more accessible gallery experience.
HSU’s Ira M. Taylor Memorial Gallery Gallery presents “Mercurial Imagination,” featuring the work of Ryder Jon Piotrs members Piotr Chizinski, Ryder Richards, Sue Anne Rische and Jonathan Whitfill. The work ranges from altered books and shredded text to gunpowder drawings and cast bomb forms. The work questions social class systems, the intangible form of knowledge, and violence in a modern world. The exhibition will take place from Oct 26-Nov 13, 2009. The gallery will host a closing reception featuring an artist talk and question/answer session on November 13, 5:00-6:30.
Ryder Jon Piotrs (RJP) is comprised of artists who have created an alternative method of engagement with the development of a Nomadic Truck Gallery. The gallery is a converted 24’ Ryder truck complete with white sheetrock panels and track lighting. Since it’s debut over 2 years ago the mobile gallery has prompted several group exhibitions for the RJP members. Most recently the group has shown in Dallas, Abilene, and Marfa. They have also hosted a national juried ceramics exhibition in Phoenix, Arizona. For more information please contact one of the RJP members.
