When the SPACE exhibition EXTRACTION  commences on Sunday, November 20, it will look dramatically different when from it opens on Friday, September 23. Under the direction of guest curator Jill Larson, visitors to SPACE have a unique opportunity to alter the outcome of an exhibition. EXTRACTION invites gallery visitors to interact directly with, and continually re-shape, the 20,000+-piece exhibition.

Visitors are encouraged to not just view the exhibit, but to "extract" pieces of it, and by doing so, the exhibition will be in a constant state of flux, change and loss. For EXTRACTION, a group of local, national and international artists create 17 works of art; three of the projects are being created by a collaborative team of two artists.

Artists participating in EXTRACTION include: Ryan Keene, Alexandra Watrous, Matthew Paul Isaacson, Karen Rich Beall, Meghan Olson, Gail Heidel, Delanie Jenkins, Traci Molloy, Chris Craychee, Aimee Manion, Wendy Osher, Ana Kovacic, Tim Kellner, Staycee Pearl, Yuko Oda and Theodore Johnson, Jay Stuckey and Brian Dick, Thommy Conroy and Tommy Bones. Participating artist Delanie Jenkins will be present at SPACE on Thursdays from Noon -3 p.m., September 29 - November 3, to field questions and observe the exhibition’s ongoing, organic transformation.
