Shake n Make (Liss Platt and Claudia B. Manley) Domestic Brew: Craft Beer Garden
Domestic Brew: Craft Beer Garden is an installation that seeks to provide audiences with an opportunity to reconsider the social function of beer, approach beer as an art medium, and reference, re-work, and contrast home hobby crafts of the ‘70s (domestic, debased, amateur, feminine) with minimalist sculpture (public, vaunted, professional, masculine). The installation has two components, a billboard installation on the Inc.’s Cannon Project Wall from May 2017 – May 2018, followed by a site-specific installation in the Inc.’s ArcelorMittal Dofasco Courtyard opening August 31, 2017.
The billboard installation on Hamilton Artists Inc.’s Cannon Project Wall provides a ‘garden’ of beer-cap flowers, transforming and monumentalizing the bottle caps and elevating their material and conceptual function to that of an art object. The billboard provides audiences and passersby with an opportunity to reconsider familiar and commonplace objects while encouraging them to find aesthetic pleasure in materials destined for the landfill. Part of referencing ‘70s bottle cap art (used to decorate hats, coasters, and furniture) is to connect the environmental and economic concerns of that time with our contemporary cultural moment.
