Syracuse, NY - Salt Quarters Crew Near West Side of Syracuse as doctors, all lined in white coat sewn by their names but are artists ..
The handful of members of the community who were from Salt Quarters Resident Artist Patty Ortiz only people who need a job before there are a few weeks. They saw the ad and responded with little idea of what they would do.
The announcement explains: They were in uniform to beat a clock that would be paid. And create art.
The exhibition "The work will not kill you" is based on a parent says Ortiz, now 94, continues to grow.
She returned to something like a child lying on the couch, and she was too tired to do more. "The work does not kill him," he had said. Laziness, however.
Ortiz father who is still alive and still is known to be mounted on the roof to repair something that started as a migrant worker in San Antonio. He was a welder who has ever pushed a second job so that their children could have extras such as music lessons.
Ortiz wanted to use art and examine real workers what it means that people work - as they do and how they feel.
Ortiz, whose work has been exhibited around the world, initially made the exhibition "The work will not kill you" in San Antonio, where he is from. There workers who participated and uniforms again stitched together as a protection for themselves was adjusted.
In Syracuse the workers Ortiz have something to say in the streets of the West Side to people in your neighborhood and what it means for them. Art pictures were taken and people. Then they were put together as a showpiece, is connected to a card at Salt Quarters Wyoming.
They do their job, they met people and talked about the community. And that change for their community realized only together comes home from work, Ortiz said. They met with artists in the community, including a human, "why" had painted on a wall near one of the poorest housing projects in the city. A worker, Ian Funderburg even broke a fight between two boys while they take pictures.
None of the workers had before the art project to achieve a steady job. Most were interested in the higher bid than the minimum to an art paid wage. But everyone will take something different when their time working to end.
Morgan Williams helped his wife with their daily activities during the day. WWKY the project offered the opportunity to make some extra money while a little get, well, peace, he said.
Maryanne McClusky just moved to the West Side of Cincinnati. She needs work, but the work is often anxiety in the past. The revision work through art helped him feel more confident to work elsewhere in the future, he said. And she has learned a lot about their new living area on the street to talk to people.
59. Brian Hammons is a break from the physical work usually takes often expected. "I did work backbreaking," he said. He thought that this was to install more of the same, building might be things or. But instead he found himself in the West Side hike, talk to people, to make their photos, and thinking about how he and the others could transform their discoveries in the art.
"I am pleasantly surprised," Hammons said.
When she started, the exhibition space was empty in Salt Quarters and white. Well, that's full of life and color. Art. "It was nice to look at this flower," Hammons said.
The group worked the colored dots on a huge printing paste that combines the characters of "The Magician" and "The Wizard of Oz".
In a way, laughs the work of the series Ortiz at the stupidity of some jobs and work structures.
People are sad, often caught as its work in accordance that the purpose of his work forgotten. Give workers the task of sticking points has become a metaphor for something of this unconsciousness on a wall, is his own thing the team of people, mainly in two poor neighborhoods of Syracuse, work together to do something about the importance and beauty.
"Then there was something important," said Ortiz.
"The work will not kill" Salt Quarters will be open until June 17. The gallery exhibition, at 301 Wyoming St. in Syracuse, is open from Tuesday to Saturday 13: 00-18: 00
