AS220 Mission
We, the citizens of Rhode Island, associate ourselves for the purpose of providing a local forum and home for the arts, through the maintenance of residential and work studios, galleries, performance and educational spaces. Exhibitions and performances in the forum will be unjuried, uncensored and open to the general public. Our facilities and services are made available to all artists who need a place to exhibit, perform, or create their original artwork, especially those who cannot obtain space to exhibit or perform from traditional sources because of financial or other limitations.
About AS220
From the Curb
In 1999 String Builder brothers Alec and Joel rode for two months on Greyhound buses across the U.S.A., performed on street corners and asked the question "What is American culture?" to everyone they met. People responded with written statements or in audio interviews. Alec and Joel also documented their journey with photographs and field recordings.
After the tour, the brothers paired photographic imagery with written responses, hand screenprinting the results. They also edited an audio compilation using sounds from the tour. With a grant from the Rhode Island State Council on the Arts, they exhibited everything as a multi-media exhibit at AS220 in the spring of 2000.
