101 Kids at the Brant Foundation with Dan Colen

One of the projects was to create painted rock m&ms inspired by Colen’s work Jazz and Leisure, currently on public display at 137th Street and Broadway as part of Marlborough Gallery’s “Broadway Morey Boogie.” Colen introduced the projects by saying that, “There are no mistakes in art. That’s what attracted me to art many years ago. What I like to do is transform simple materials into an experience that people enjoy. My hope today is that…you’ll learn how to transform simple objects into memorable experiences and that maybe by the end of the afternoon, you’ll consider yourself artists, too.” A lovely thought, indeed.
