1440 Minutes

FAC Modern (downtown Colorado Srpings)

Reception: Friday, June 19, 2009 from 5-8 pm

A collaborative project between the Gallery of Contemporary Art @ UCCS and I.D.E.A. @ Colorado College, 1440 Minutes is a 24-Hour art installation and performance event curated around the theme of "Economic Creativity." This is the second year of this joint public program supporting Colorado contemporary artists. Artists will present their installations to the public in a free reception at the FAC MODERN, 5–8 p.m. on Friday, June 19.

Great innovations arise in times of crisis; these innovations drive future economic and cultural growth. “Economic Creativity” invites artists to examine how, during this time of great change, we can – and should – use or re-use elements of our personal, cultural, and material past to re-envision a healthy, sustainable future.
