Royal Flush - collaborative print

To discover a taste of Corkstop Studio artists' first collaborative print since Roger and Pacha have joined the studio, visit "Hearts Obispo" at ARTS Space Obispo in the Creamery anytime between January 21st through February 14th, 2008. Or go to the February 6th Art After Dark event for which ARTS Obispo goes all-out. Amazing sweet treats, local wines and live music set a festive mood for bidding on larger items in the silent auction.
"Royal Flush" was created on acetate film with ink, both rolled and drawn and scratched. It was then scanned, edited and printed with an Epson 7880 onto Canon etching paper in a limited edition of 8 prints.

The Harbour Of My Heart Lies Empty

On September 27, 2008 several artists will participate in an international art happening at CorkStop Studios. This happening coincides with our 'Holonic Art Exhibition' - the first of it's kind, where artit's collaborative work is on display. The happening 'The Harbour Of My Heart Lies Empty' was conceived by Danish artist and collaborator Henrik Sandner. Here is his description of the event:

On September 27, 2008 artists from all over the world will take part in this one-day art event. On this date they will launch small ships or boats in various designs and materials into the sea.

As a documentation of the event, pictures will be taken and uploaded to a website (www.theharbourofmyheart.com) which can be seen from October 1.

This gesture is to be seen as a commemoration of all sorrow and bereavement in the world of today.

”No matter whether it is war, natural disaster, or lack of love that causes this sense of disertion and sadness, it is universal and does not discriminate; therefore people around the world are united by this feeling.” –says Henrik Sandner (Denmark) who took the initiative to this event.

No one has ownership to this project. It is neither sponsored by companies nor cultural institutions. There are only artists who operates independently only united in creating this project.

And as such, the project can be compared to the launched boats which are taken by the waves and thrown about by the mercy of the sea.

The pages will then be bound into a fatbook on the spot.Participants are encouraged to bring their treasure box of collage papers, fibers, charms and other embellishments to work with and/or share with the group. You can view Sarah’s work online at sarahwinkler.com. The workshop costs $35 and early registration is a must as space is limited.

Enjoy collaborative artwork by over 60 local, national and international artists at the first Holonic Art event on September 27, 2008 from 5pm till 9pm. The Holonic Art Movement was created with the vision of bringing artists together in the form of a shared canvas that travels from artist to artist, or by giving a number of panels or canvas's to artists around the world with a single unifying concept in mind, and then mounting them as one piece. CorkStop Studios will be hosting the first show for this body of work. Food and wine courtesy of local caterers and vineyards. Find out more about the Holonic Art Movement at www.HolonicArts.com
