About the Program
grunt gallery partnered with KickStart Disability Arts and Culture to bring Valerie Salez’s project to Vancouver following a successful residency at Open Space in Victoria, BC last year. Play, Fall, Rest, Dance is an installation that continuously changes based on the creative output by children with disabilities. Salez creates an environment that encourages artistic freedom, exploration, and installation-making over the course of several weeks. Children participate in art-making sessions that reimagine the space through the use of various materials, some of which are repurposed from Salez’ past projects, and through performance, movement, sound, and play. The artist works with children with disabilities to emphasize the state of making and being, the pursuit of uninhibited creative exploration that is void of rules, structures, and concepts of ‘right or wrong’ and ‘perfection vs. mistakes.’ Children are enabled with artistic autonomy and the artist thoughtfully guides them to explore their creative processes. A closing reception took place on on June 26, 2014.Identifier
