Cruz Ortiz: HECHO FARM
HECHO FARM is a stage for the continued growth of artist Cruz Ortiz’s lovesick alter ego Spaztek, as well as an exploration of the material, social, and political possibilities of collaboration within an art education context. In his exhibition, Ortiz transforms the VAC’s Arcade gallery into a working “farm,” fleshed out with utilitarian sculptures, drawings, collages, hand-pulled screen-printed posters, multi-media text works, and perhaps even a pirate radio station. During the project’s opening on September 21, Ortiz hosts PRINT PARTY in HECHO FARM, where screen-printing stations are free and open to all on a first-come, first-served basis. Some materials are provided, but bring t-shirts for printing.
