Program Description

Wide Open Studios presents Artist-as-Trickster, a backcountry-based survey of strategies for subversion, fable, and ruse. Taking inspiration from the prevalence of mythical tricksters throughout the cultures of the world, we will share a journey through the wild heart of the Klamath-Siskiyous, a land whose natural history is touched by mystery and contradiction. Our readers will include stories from Native North America wherein Coyote reigns supreme. Coyote dwells in paradox, and we will observe the ways contemporary artists embrace paradox in a daily sequence of artist profiles and a parallel course of Tiny Projects—prompts that ask each artist to try new ways to disrupt their own creative habits. Visiting artists will join us to illuminate the strategies they use to embrace the unexpected, as well as to discuss the many enchantments and conflicts of the Klamath.
