Jeff Huckleberry
Jeff has been performing art for the last 20 years, both nationally and internationally. He enjoys the bicycle, the hammer, the saw, the wood, his wife and son, his family, his friends, his work. (…except sometimes he doesn’t enjoy these things as much; it depends.) He is the son and grandson of far more practical people, which he tries to express in his art. His mother thinks it is time to stop getting naked in front of people and privately he thinks she is probably right; and something about death.

Coorain Devin
Growing up, my mother told me I was too smart to be an artist, that I could help the world more by becoming a brainiac chemist, and sometimes I think she’s right. I’ve worked at three movie theaters, four libraries and one small town garden center.
They always tell you not to judge a book by its cover, but doesn’t the cover function as a form of communication? I’m just so curious about the world and its surfaces — there are so many spectacular glossy surfaces, on objects and on people. I love to look at food and celebrity personalities and plastic packaging. It all seems so frivolous, but with a little inspection, it turns out everything is available on the surface.

Sandy Huckleberry
Sandy has been making performances for more than thirty years. Her work has evolved through various educational influences (study visual art, dance, voice, literature and history at Smith College; studying performance, video, drawing, stained glass at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston) and collaborative influences. She draws inspiration from the settings and the history of the places she performs (from abandoned bear cages to basements to historic museum halls; from Beijing to Boston and Poland to Havana), as well as from her own inner landscape. Our collective human responsibility for the imbalances we have imposed upon our world are the motivation behind her current work.
