States of Matter is our recently-published book of images exploring the characters we created for our performance at Lynden Sculpture Garden in February. We worked more with these characters while we were in residence in Wendover UT with The Center for Land Use Interpretation. The book also includes an essay by Rafael Salas.

The WhiteBoxPainters

2007-02-17T06:02:00.001-08:00

The WhiteBoxPainters is a four-member performance art group which is currently composed of Brent Budsberg, Shana McCaw, Harvey Opgenorth, and Mark Escribano. Clad in white painter’s coveralls marked with the WBP logo, the performers assume the role of contractors or city workers, intentionally blurring the lines between public performance and municipal labor. The white box has come to symbolize both a basic building block of our physical surroundings as well as a challenge to the traditional white box of the art gallery.

Below are some of their past projects. To see current work, please visit the WhiteBoxPainters' blog at www.thewhiteboxpainters.blogspot.com.
