JOYENGINE: cause sharing is cool

Dutch artist, Jasper de Beijer, is currently having an exhibit at MCA Denver. He has a wicked process for creating a single piece of art and presents an interesting perspective on photography and the photographic process. He takes photographs, creates sculptures/models out of those photographs; then photographs these three-dimensional creations with the objective of the final photograph being the piece of art to be exhibited. It’s an unusual exhibit because MCA Denver is including a selection of miniature props de Beijer made and then photographed as a key element of his process. The artist also works on a computer to alter the photos before they’re printed. Interestingly enough, this is the first time that the models and the photos have been brought together in a single display.

JoyEngine received the opportunity to view the new MCA Denver last weekend. After a pancake breakfast and interviews with the artists exhibiting in the opening, the almost complete museum opened its doors. The new museum designed by David Adjaye, is an impressive work in itself and serves as a great canvas for exhibiting art. Here are a few photos of the new addition to Denver’s art scene.
