Artist’s Reception: "Bibi-Mimi Hudson Memo"
Thursday, September 12, 2024 from 5-7pm
Cost: Free
41 South 3rd Street, #2L, Hudson
Bibiana Huang Matheis and Mimi Czajka Graminski return to Window On Hudson to share their years-long remote collaboration: Bibi-Mimi Monday Memo. “Hudson Memo” gives us the opportunity to both take a peek into their archive from hundreds of hours of collaboration and to view new work which they have created specifically for the windows. How does Bibi-Mimi Monday Memo work? Once a week, during the same hour of the day, each artist works in their separate studio with the intention of tuning into the same creative channel. They do not speak or make any kind of plans beforehand, but at the end of each session they compare notes on their inspiration, their state of mind and the work produced. They have found, over the course of the project, that not only are there connections in the work produced but also in their emotions, recent experiences and in odd little coincidences surrounding the sessions. "Bibi-Mimi Hudson Memo" is on view 24/7 August 27-October 13, 2024. http://www.windowonhudson.org/
