Processus Institute for Art and Life WHAT: “Processus [prɔsesys]: French word for process, evolution; a group of actions with a common goal; a series of events or a succession of methods. “Processus also relates to Process Art, an artistic movement where the end product is not the principal focus. This multi-use space is inspired by our art philosophies and by our way of life. Driven by process and ideas, our works reflect timeless actions and methods as we often go back to the basics. For years, we have dreamed about a place to work, a place to meet new people and share important ideas. We envision a place where the artist community will share processes and ideas, a place to experiment and discover new things, a place that focuses on experience and chance encounters. This came from the need of a simple space where individual artists, designers and community members can make objects and learn new things regardless of their abilities or background. The focus of the workspace will be on handmade objects, sculpture, wood fabrication, and works on paper. It will include a multi-use shop, a clean room and a darkroom. It will also provide tools, assistance and advice for artists to make what they need to professionally display their works. It will be a place for people to discuss ideas, and experiment with materials. Creative individuals and community members will learn from each other, blurring the boundaries between art and life. The emphasis will be on hand made art and design. We want to bring people together around ideas that are worth making to contribute to the evolution of art and life and make a difference. As part of the project, we will offer a space for people to think and share ideas. Regular offerings of art displays, talks, pop up events, etc… will start after the workspaces are open.
