Te second installment of Meadville’s Big Zipper Project was held in the Henderson Campus Center on Tuesday, Sept. 6 and was piloted by Steve Prince, professor of art and artist-in-residence. Te Big Zipper Project is pre- dicted to break the Guinness World Record for the longest zipper or representation of a zipper. Te campus center lobby was full of tables and people eager to put together the puz- zle. Allegheny students, com- munity members and Allegh- eny alumni helped place the the pieces. Once put together, the pieces formed a rough rectangle of about 35 feet by 6 feet made up of several wood blocks, each decorated and carved by a diferent individ- ual.

By MARLEY PARISH • Features Editor • [email protected]

Doane Hall of Art flled with artists eager to begin their 8 hour art projects on Saturday, Sept. 3. Te artists’ work focuses on the theme of failure in this year’s show. Heather Brand, visiting assistant professor of art, and Darren Lee Miller, associate pro- fessor of photography and digital imaging director, curated the art show. Te public was invited to observe and work with the artists in this year’s show where the artists traveled from all over to participate. “[Tis year], the artists are surprisingly from all over,” said Brand. “We usually have semi-regional artists. Tey’re from Bufalo, Illinois, New York. It’s a wide variety, and I’m really happy with what happened.” As the 12 artists created their work, students were free to walk around, spectate, ask questions and even help the artists create their pieces during the short period of time. “It changes the dynamic,” said Brand. “It also changes the project. With my project, if I didn’t have people helping me, it would have been a lot worse. It would have been a much more labor-intensive day. I was able to have great conversations with people about the theme, and they quite literally helped it take shape. It’s a good way to kick of the school year to get the creativity fowing.” “Tis year being the Year of Mindfulness, we thought that failure was a great way to tie into that,” said Brand. “We really asked the artists to make work that talked about failure how they saw it or how failure could infuence their practice in some way.” Hannah Epstein, a participating artist, created analog pixel art of a conversation with a close friend through rug hooking, an artform that originated in Nova Scotia. “I fail constantly,” Epstein said. “It’s kind of like the thing I want to get better at. Failure is an integral part of existing.” Trevor King, contributing artist, created a project by enlarging pieces of slag. “I defnitely have experience with failure. Everybody does,” King said. “If there wasn’t failure, the art would feel formulaic.” Steve Prince, professor of art and Allegheny College’s artist-in-residence, focused his work on Serena Williams, an American professional tennis player. His inspiration comes from Williams’ life, how she is viewed as a brute force and does not ft into American ideals of women. “I can understand and identify with those struggles,” Prince said. Failure was not seen as a negative aspect of the show. Instead, artists focused on how to improve and learn from mistakes. “[Failure] is motivation and a fear,” said Brand. “What helps is knowing that it’s okay to be vulnerable. When you fail at something, you feel very vulnerable. If you can pick your- self up and try again, it’s not really a failure. It’s just sort of a refning of what you want and where you’re going. I think it’s important to talk about failure in the arts because [mistakes] they don’t really exist.” Te artists’ work will be on display until Sept. 18, 2016 in Doane Hall of Art.
