Creating Edible Urban Worlds: Techniques and Politics of Guerrilla Grafting

When: Mar 7, 2021 1:00-2:30 pm

Where: Zoom

In conjunction with the recent planting of the Tree of 40 Fruit planted by Sam Van Aken, this online workshop will introduce participants to the basics of fruit tree grafting, with attention to urban street trees. Margaretha Haughwout of the Guerrilla Grafters will demonstrate basic grafting techniques, discuss strategies for grafting on city streets, and talk about the stakes involved for tactical urban commons. She will outline the dynamics of public and private space in urban contexts, and how this guerrilla practice situates in larger interventionist, ecological, and social art contexts. Date: This one-time online workshop meets on Sunday, March 7 from 1-2:30pm ET via Zoom. Price: Free to attend ($10 suggested donation), $50 to attend with beginner grafting kit (includes grafting kit, scionwood, grafting manual, assembly, & shipping) Audience: Open to all. Materials: Participants who elect to will be mailed a supplies kit. Must register by Monday, February 22 to receive a supplies kit. The Guerrilla Grafters graft fruit bearing branches onto non-fruit bearing, ornamental fruit trees. Over time, delicious, nutritious fruit is made available to urban residents through these grafts. They aim to prove that a culture of care can be cultivated from the ground up. They aim to turn city streets into food forests, and unravel capitalist civilization one branch at a time. Please note, this online workshop will begin promptly at the listed start time. In order to ensure the quality of instruction for all participants, late entry will not be permitted.

Constructing Portraits

When: Tuesdays at 7:00 pm, from February 4, 2021 until February 25, 2021

Where: Zoom

Join Alumni Resident Rachel Stern in blending sculpture and photography to create sensational, transformative, and allegorical portraiture. Considering our isolation during the pandemic, we will develop techniques and strategies to use domestic materials to create lighting and set design for conceptual portraiture. The course will include lectures on the contemporary and historical context of this type of photography while focusing on construction for the camera and tricks of perspective as our means for transformative image-making. Throughout the four sessions of this course each participant will design, build, and photograph one constructed portrait (or self-portrait!). Register at pioneerworks.org/classes Date: This online workshop will meet weekly on Thursday, February 4, 11, 18, 25 from 7-9pm ET via Zoom. Price: $100 Audience: Open to all. Materials: Participants will be responsible for gathering supplies. Suggested supplies include: cell phone camera, DSLR, or mirrorless digital camera; white foam core sheet (any size); household mirrors, lamps, flashlights, etc.; silver clip lights (can be found at Home Depot); various props, fabric, costume, makeup (you can use the things you already have or start to collect items if you have an idea of what you want your picture to look like). Rachel Stern is a photographer whose work considers the intersection of beauty and power. Using quotidian and kitsch materials she creates images which enter into an accessible discourse and, in the spirit of “bread and roses,” demand immediate access to beauty. Her work is a kitsch paradise, a queer-washed history, and an attempt at hope. She received her BFA in Photography and the History of Art and Visual Culture in 2011 from the Rhode Island School of Design, attended Skowhegan in 2014, and graduated from Columbia University in 2016 with an MFA in Visual Arts. Please note, this online workshop will begin promptly at the listed start time. In order to ensure the quality of instruction for all participants, late entry will not be permitted.
