spondere 2008

spondere is a collaborative collective born of experimentation and art, conversations and friendship. spondere was founded in 2004 by alicia bailey and heidi zednik. donna price joined in 2007. the most recent project by the three member collective was an exhibit spondere in 2008.

for the 2008 spondere exhibit at Abecedarian Gallery, we decided to show recent individual work, rather than focus on a single collaborative project. the collaboration became the collective installation, with a focus of effortless flow. the goal was to appear cohesive as a collective unit, rather than three individual artists showing individual work. this cohesiveness was never officially categorized or determined. for gallery visitors who were unfamiliar with each artists’ work, the exhibit appeared to be by a single artist.
