MONSTRO: Artist Talk with James Brook & Jason Herr

Join curio. along with gallery artists James Brook & Jason Herr for an event celebrating their collaboration of MONSTRO, currently on view through November 26th.

Inspired by the drawing game known as “Exquisite Corpse”, it is a process of generating grotesque characters where the surface is divided into thirds, then each section is produced usually covertly by someone then passed to the next person until completed. Revealing a single composition of potentially disjointed ideas or visual representations.

It’s this game that brought artists James Brook & Jason Herr together. “We became friends because of the type of artwork we make. With a similar interest in outsider artists, naive thrift store finds and things with a cartoonish, B-movie aesthetic a collaboration seemed inevitable.”

Join in on the conversation, learn about the concepts and process- questions are welcome!
