possibilify

Farmhouse Art Collective invites you to: Possibilify - an Event Score Exhibition, Exchange, and Experience Event

possibilify  verb - to imagine and create new experiences.

The modern day experience is a bewilderment. Any and all futures are uncertain. Let’s take a moment to explore each and all, in every single direction.

Everyone is welcome to participate - even if you don’t normally think of yourself as a creative person.

Ways to participate:

a. Send an event score* that addresses the theme to farmhouseartcollective@gmail.com.

Scores will be published on our website and in the second edition of our book These Things are Meant to Happen: A Farmhouse Art Collective Event Score Anthology. Documentation of the scores we’re able to perform will be featured on our social media. 

*These are instructions for an action to be performed. When you follow the instructions, it creates an experience that is the artwork.

An example from popular culture is the kids game pretend the floor is lava. move through the room without touching the ground.

b. Submit an event score for our Possibilification Kit.

Each exchange kit is a compartmentalized masonite box containing the work of 18 different artists, who each contribute an event score and a small object (or objects) used in its performance. If you’re familiar with Fluxus boxes, cross them with a print exchange and you’ll have a good idea.

c. Come to the two day event August 5th and 6th in Cedar Rapids, Iowa to experience the scores.

Works may also be included in other exhibitions. Priority deadline for event score inclusion in the Possibilify exhibition, exchange, and experience event is July 30th, 2023.
