Each of Us is Several - A Collaboration Between Suchitra Mattai & Joshua Ware

"Since each of us was several, there was already quite a crowd."- Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari

For “Each of Us is Several,” Suchitra Mattai and Joshua Ware will collaborate in exposing the “interior lives” of everyday objects. Wood and concrete meet fiber, video and paint in experimental mixed-media installations and fantastical objects that evoke the domestic realm and disclose its complex inner workings. Carving out a new space where the functional and the fictional coexist, the work seeks to blur the lines between art and design and in so doing, reveal elements of the uncanny.Pulling inspiration from philosophers Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari, the artists aim to engage our otherwise solitary community through collaboration. By creating a conversation between the art itself, Suchitra and Joshua will explore how art fosters and uses connections (both literally and figuratively) in order to transmit new forces, speeds, magnitudes and intensities to those around. Producing what Joshua calls, "betweeness," viewers and artists alike will have room to develop a relationship with ourselves and each other.Thursday, October 10  |  7-10 pm at PlatteForumTickets: $30Enjoy wine, beer and cocktails with light appetizers provided by Heirloom Catering.BUY TICKETS HERE!!!This ticketed event is made possible through the support of Gill Capital Partners, Vine Street Pub and Brewery, The Colorado Trust Foundation, Jeremy Anderson, Kim & Lance McCarty, Daniel Flora & Devin Dardanes and Tracy Weil.Joshua Ware is an artist and writer who was born in Cleveland, OH.
