Local artists Julia Bottoms, Tricia Butski, Max
Collins, Fotini Galanes, Rachel Shelton, and Phyllis
Thompson created these
murals as participants in a residency program hosted by
the Albright-Knox. As
part of the exhibition Hervé
Tullet: Shape and Color (June 26–September 12, 2021) at Albright-Knox Northland, visitors could watch the creative
process unfold and engage in dialogue with the artists
directly. The murals
here represent the final stage in the transformation of
artwork from studio
production to public display. One of the goals of the residency was to expand
opportunities for artists in the public arena, but with
the finished murals we
also wish to introduce Polytab to a broad regional
audience. Polytab, the
substrate utilized by each artist during the residency
program, is a nonwoven
material that is easily transported and can be worked on
in small pieces, so
murals can be prepared in studios, classrooms, or other
available spaces. The
material is mobile, scalable, lightweight, and forms
easily to surfaces—like
the brick wall to which the murals are fixed here. We hope
that the versatility
of this material might inspire more educators and artists
to produce their own
public works. - Albright-Knox
