Oddly Satisfying
Ari Bird
May 3rd - May 26th, 2019
Opening Reception: May 3rd, 6-10pm
Interactive ASMR Workshop: May 25th, 2-6pm
Utilizing both tiny and oversized replicas, props and paintings, Ari Bird’s exhibition explores the oddly satisfying experience of elevating everyday objects/actions to become symbols of ritual, transcendence, and connection with others.
Opening on May 3rd during the First Fridays/Oakland Art Murmur events, and closing with an ASMR workshop on May 25, Bird will create a uniquely social, sensory and satisfying experience with these potent objects.
ABOUT THE ARTIST: Ari Bird (b. 1988, San Diego, California) seeks balance in the interactions between seemingly disparate objects, shapes, and colors through varying mediums. Primarily a painter and installation artist, Bird lifts symbols from her surrounding to create new narratives. Her sculptural ‘props’, which are usually either comically large or small in scale, explore the cosmic and psychological meaning we imbue in objects. Bird has exhibited in galleries and diy/underground spaces nationally, and at times pursues curatorial projects. She has been an arts educator for over 6 years combined, and currently helps maintain the sculptures at Children’s Fairyland. Her studio and home are located in Oakland, CA.
