THE BOX PARTY
|
Established in 2022, The Box Party is a non-hierarchical collective of 6 multidisciplinary artists. Our work is imbued with the substance of our questions, our rebellions, our resistance, our anxieties – it’s always by our own rules. We consider inequalities through collaboration, trust, and respect. The Box Party is Sara Alonge, Alicia Barton, Juliana Haliti, Star Herrera, Jeanna Mead and Dani Ruf, The Box Party Project is a series of public artworks exhibited around the Capital District. Our installations are interactive machines which engage the audience through miniature sculptures, digital illustrations, paintings, poetry, prose, and various other objects. We intend to support small local businesses and artists, while bringing art to the community. |

Cleanse//Cleanse was a temporary, site specific, immersive installation which was held at the Wallace Gallery at The Arts Center of the Capital Region from 10/26/2023-10/28/2023. Considering the pressures and consumerism of 'self care', our exaggerations of DIY and punk style posters plastered the floor to ceiling, while our witch bullets and binding string encapsulated the viewer from opposing walls. |

The Sticker Machine is the first of a series of art vending machines installed through the Capital District. It's first iteration features designs that consider gender inequalities in the medical field, created by the collective members.
Through this project, we intend to bring affordable artwork to people and places outside of typical access as well as engage with local businesses and community while donating our proceeds to worthy charities. All profits from this machine go to the Upper Hudson Planned Parenthood. The Sticker Machine launched in Summer 2023 at Upstate Art Weekend in Kingston, NY at the FLOCKart by Collar Works mobile gallery. It then moved to No Fun in Troy, NY where it lived for one month following the machine's official launch party in August. From there, the machine moved to Opalka Gallery in Albany, NY for the month of September for their annual Beer Gardens. The machine continues to travel around the Capital Region.
