Recycling the Studio will feature artworks that constitute the latest iteration of HFA, an evolving long-term collaborative project created by artist Simon Draper. HFA will launch their newest "green box art studio", a 6' x 6' x 8' structure composed of recycled and reusable materials. Various artists from the HFA collective will create artworks as "10 x 10" tiles that will cover the studio's surface as well as the interior walls of chashama at 112 West 44th Street. During the exhibition various environmental and art organizations such as Urban Go Green, Solar One and Articycle will present information and host discussions. hover for details, click for page Over the past three years, artists involved with HFA have built and worked in over twenty 6' x 6' x 8' temporary, portable studios made of predominantly reused and recycled material and installed on various sites, including a CSA farm, an environmental center, an art park, a river park, and a parking lot. The studios function as residencies with a modest yet distinct presence that enables artists to explore their art practice and develop a new dialogue with different communities, as well as with other artists. Simultaneously a place for creating work and the work itself, these structures function as both studios for artists and installations for viewers to enter into and engage with. The HFA initiative addresses a number of dataerse topics, such as: the creation of communities by artists and the consequent ejection of artists from these communities; matters of sustainability in art; thinking about the artistic working process and its private and public manifestations; providing spaces of reflection for the public; and asking the question: How Much How Little the Space to Create? history
