Description

<a href="https://art2life.com/">https://Art2Life.com</a> - What if instead of making your art by yourself, you made it with hundreds of people? What if you could invite anyone to participate? And most importantly, what if the outcome was deliciously uncertain? Meet Kiel Johnson. He is a California-based artist who, over the past 20 years, has taken his drawing and sculpture to an extraordinary level of collaboration. Using cardboard, glue guns, and a mash-up of materials, Kiel has led the creation of homemade rocket ships, airplanes, robots, and a whole host of imagined worlds for groups at schools, institutions, and creative symposiums. Whether his art is made in his studio (a converted church in central California), or taken on the road to collaborate with others, its ethos is simple: Kiel is here to make things. To live a creative life, or rather, to play a creative life. And if willing, you are invited. His enthusiasm and generosity of spirit are so big it seems to have overflowed into everything, especially his art. After listening today and seeing Kiel's art, you will never see a piece of cardboard quite the same way. ================================ LISTEN IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN… The role collaboration plays in Kiel’s art practice [2:30] Facilitating collaboration and the logistics of corporate art-making [7:06] Why Kiel works with cardboard [12:05] Wayfinding in collaborative art-making [16:30] Turning a small town 1800’s church into an art studio compound [21:53] Kiel’s thought process behind his individual work and art
