LET'S GO TO WORK
Work, the daily grind that occupies most of our time, is the basic act by which individuals and communities are defined. Let's Go To Work, a mixed-media art installation, is a celebration of work, analyzing Wicker Park Bucktown's present and future through the lens of individuals who work in the neighborhood. The project is a collaboration between brother-sister team Rine Boyer and Mark Andrew Boyer, capturing the essence the neighborhood through portraiture and stop-motion animation.
Rine Boyer's portraits of four workers from four different industries -- the arts, fashion, restaurant service, and sustainable development -- depict local business leaders with images of their work overlaid on their faces. The portraits are complemented by video animations of the workers created by photographer / videographer Mark Andrew Boyer. The videos, which echo the bright colors and staccato motion of neon signs, depict the subjects going about their work.
Mark Andrew Boyer is the co-founder of NobleTree Media, and he is a producer of OrganicNation.tv, a website and travel series about sustainable food and farming. Mark graduated from the University of Chicago in 2006.
After receiving her BA from Reed College, Rine Boyer moved to Chicago and currently works out of her studio in Bridgeport’s Zhou B Art Center. She is an active member of the ARC Gallery art cooperative and regularly participates in local shows, her most recent being solo exhibitions at Old Town Art Center and ARC Gallery. Recognition of her work includes an honorable mention at the Rockford Midwestern juried exhibition held at the Rockford Art Museum and reviews in Newcity, Gaper’s Block and SOBS.org.
