SALINA ART CENTER 2008/2009 ANNUAL REPORT

During his Salina Art Center residency, Brooklyn-based
artist Jason Peters created art with everyday objects: plastic
buckets, tires, chairs, and surprise materials found in Salina
industry and agribusiness. These then became modules of
larger forms relating organically to the Art Center’s exhibi-
tion space. Peter’s sculptures are often defined as dystopic,
futuristic, spectacular, and just plain beautiful. They undulate,
twist, and climb up and over each other, seemingly with their
own energy.
Organized by the Salina Art Center. Open And as Pointed
as Possible and Jason Peter ’s SAC residency were
made possible in part by a grant from the U.S. Institute
of Museum and Library Services and the R.C. Kemper
Charitable Trust, UMB Bank, n.a. Corporate Trustee.
