Minneapolis artist, Kat Corrigan, is diving in the deep end this summer when it comes to her dog art. First, there is her “Dog Show” exhibition that opens tomorrow night, June 30, at the Key North Boutique. Then, on July 1, she commences 30 Dog in 30 Days, an ambitious project she describes as “a dedicated painting practice, where the commitment to painting every day positively (and sometimes profoundly) affects the quality of the overall work.” Half-way through the painting marathon she will give an artist’s talk on July 14, once again at Key North Boutique. Then, she will mount an exhibition of all 30 dog paintings on August 19 at Diamond’s Coffee Shop, where she is also creating a space where the actual dog muses can attend.
If you’re not in Minneapolis to see this dynamo in action, visit her blog, My AUTOBI-DOG-RAPHY, where she will be posting her completed dog each day. If you are in Minneapolis, stop by one of her events with banana, some Gatorade, and a foil blanket. Go Kat!
The paintings in this post are from Corrigan’s 30 Dogs in 30 Days 2010. See them all here.
Kat has two spaces left for the 30 Dogs in 30 Days project. Email her for price and availability.
