Cocktail Hour with Skip Arnold and Olivia Primé, and Karen Lofgren cake conversation
Whereas most brides would be pulling pages from a Martha Stewart magazine, or else pulling out their hair, we're meeting with artists to talk about their ideas. These past few weeks have been like a non-stop studio visit train and the ride continues...
Bec, Ruben, Tif and I visited Skip Arnold and Olivia Primé (a married couple as it so happens) to check in on progress. Skip’s piece is based on the tradition of throwing rice.
Initially, Skip proposed a very romantic, somewhat uncharacteristic piece that had nothing to do with him being naked. I loved it! However, he then presented us with an alternate idea. We’ll see what happens - its up to the artists ultimately, within reason.
Bec, Ruben, Tif and I visited Skip and Olivia (a married couple as it so happens) to check in on progress. Skip will make a work based on the tradition of throwing rice. Olivia will be making the program. I will tell you that Skip originally proposed a very romantic, somewhat uncharacteristic piece that had nothing to do with him being naked. I loved it, not because he wasn’t naked but because it was surprising and apropo, but after he proposed an alternate idea, and we’ll see what happens - its up to the artists ultimately, within reason. Olivia will be making an interactive program - one in which each program will be like a single cell in a beehive, and as guests arrive and take their own progam, the structure will change, shrink and disassemble. Brilliant.
