Jesse Hayward's installation at Linfield

Linfield presents Jesse Hayward's The Kitchen Counter Collective. "Whether it's with painted toothpicks that participants stab into an amorphous armature or with several hundred painted boxes the participants stack and re-stack throughout the run of the show, Jesse Hayward creates installations that are intended for direct audience manipulation. Utilizing repetition and ritual, he builds and paints objects in his studio that are then re-imagined through a collaborative, installation practice, articulating a space wherein boundaries are blurred." The exhibition will run from March 30 - May 1, 2010.

Opening reception • 6-8pm • March 31
Linfield Art Gallery • 900 SE Baker St. McMinnville • Miller Fine Arts Center
