Join us for a double feature screening of Verge's original documentary series: About the Artist: Making Art in the Golden State. Verge will screen episodes featuring Sacramento-based artists Muzi Li Rowe and Nikki Thompson. In Muzi's documentary, she demonstrates her varied photographic processes, operates her handbuilt cameras, and discusses the art historical references, such as Dutch vanitas paintings, which inform her compositions. She also shows us a portion of her impressive e-waste collection, including old cell phones and defunct computer chargers, which she uses to create photographic still lives and art objects.
In Nikki's documentary, she demonstrates a few basic printmaking, zinemaking, and bookbinding techniques. She also shows off some of her favorite zines that she's made, discusses her inspirations which include feminist history and humor, and describes the importance of creating her own press called Deconstructed Artichoke Press.
About the Artist: Making Art in the Golden State is a documentary series that spotlights California-based career artists from a diverse range of backgrounds and disciplines. Each of the artists featured in this series have spent years honing their artistic skills and have developed creative solutions to strike a balance between art, work, and personal life. Each documentary takes the viewer into the artist’s studio, where the artist reveals the challenges, the rewards, the hard work, and the time it takes to follow their artistic calling.
