CREATIVE MATERIAL GROUP

A convergence of artists from all disciplines promoting passionate, engaged cultural labor. We actively invent and bring to the public games, interactive works, performances, objects and printed matter. CMG is a non-profit arts collective.

MOTELHAUS

We conceived of this event as an opportunity to examine issues of personal and national identity, transience and place through artist/ audience interaction. 10 artists were invited to design and install projects in the rooms of a downtown motel for two nights. Nothing could be removed from the rooms, and they were not to be used as traditional gallery spaces. Check- in time was 12 noon. The group consisted of artists originating from China, Romania, Vietnam, Iran, North America and South Africa, most of them temporary, some permanent, residents in the Pacific Northwest. Over 1100 people attended the Eugene and Portland events combined.
