Tom Brown
Special guest
Tom Brown is an emerging artist based out of Calgary, Canada. The foundation of his practice is a series entitled Feeding the Masses: a unique blend of interactive performance and intricate fabrication, creating dense and fascinating experiences for both the audience and the artist.
Tom recently graduated with his Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Alberta College of Art and Design and has participated in a number of exhibitions throughout his education, culminating most recently in his first solo exhibition, 28 Rocks. Tom envisions his work as a tool of communication especially given art’s ability to transcend time and context. His work looks at perception, namely the difference between our perceived and actual reality, focusing on the vessel of perception, the body. (From Tom's website)

Tom Brown started making tiny functional items as a kid, whittling objects out of twigs he found. When he went to college, he made a small working kitchen, and started Feeding the Masses. Giving away food to strangers, he began to build a sense of wonder and community, all based around tiny meals. Now, he continues to cook while making tiny functional items like knives, tongs, ceramic cups, and snow shoes and hide them around Calgary for his other project, Finders Keepers.
