Event Description
Stelo Arts
August 1st | 12PM - 5PM, Saturday
Ronny Quevedo is inviting us to play.
Join our community on August 1st from 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM for a very special Match at Stelo. As part of Ronny Quevedo's exhibition, scrimmage, we are turning our gallery windows into a collaborative playing field, and we want you to be a part of it.
We invite you to gather with friends and help us fill the space with vinyl arrows, x's, and o's to create a shared community art piece. It is a wonderful opportunity for fostering dialogue through action, strategy, and connection.
The Match Rules: As noted in the exhibition text, scrimmage is practice at play. Ronny invites you to participate in charting movements: existing, forthcoming, and imaginary. Visualizing strategy and improvisation is a way to play within the abstract sense of a future. As you step through the window displays, feel free to apply indicators of how you visualize the concepts of offense and defense.
Here are the guidelines for our shared playing field:
This is an exploration in drawing, movement, and sport. For everyone. All ages.
This is a drawing practice.
Each side of the window is a portal. One side is offense. The other is the opposite.
The goal is to mark the gallery. Improvise. Touch. Peel. Apply.
Win, lose, or tie. No extra time.
You can respond to what came before but not remove it.
Make room for the next player once your match is over.
Feel free to stay if a team needs an extra player.
Let Stelo be your playing field. We cannot wait to see what we create together.
About Ronny Quevedo
Ronny Quevedo was born in Guayaquil, Ecuador and lives and works in New York, NY. Quevedo’s practice spans installation, drawings, and prints, incorporating and subverting aspects of abstraction, painting, collage, cartography, and sports imagery. Deeply engaged with notions of identity, Quevedo reenvisions pre- and post-colonial iconographies. The recuperation of Indigenous languages of abstraction, revalorization of their associated labor, and centering of a living connection between contemporary and centuries-old cultural markers are foundational to Quevedo’s ongoing practice.
