Picture this: Two artists. One Wheel of Doomb. One random idea. Two hours to make art. That, in a nutshell, is what happens every Wednesday evening at the Gorilla House.
Dubbed Gorilla House LIVE ART, these are live art battles where two artists have two hours to create a piece of art from a random idea, which then gets auctioned off at the end of the night to any in attendance that evening.
The brainchild of Rich Théroux, Awesome Calgary Top4 Finalist for August 2012, these battles are open to the public and free to attend. You can wander around the gallery to view other exhibits as the battle takes place, or stay and watch and be a part of the creative process.
To get a taste of what the Gorilla House LIVE ART experience is like, the video above tells you exactly what the concept of an Art Battle is, and the videos below show highlights from the summer and highlights from the art battle that took place on Wednesday, August 15.
