"Prompt" Wendy Kveck
Prompt:
Make some paintings
Hold a thought
Feel the thinking
Spice up your studio practice
Embrace the awkward transition period
Own the hot mess
Gather some women together
Ask them to wear frosting and perform
Eat noodles and drink LaCroix
How much do you really need?
How to make art
How to make good art
How to feel like an artist again
How to not feel like a fraud
How to be good
Write some prompts in your sketchbook
Laugh really hard
She would not let any shame come upon her. She would wear the costume of the leaf. -

Wendy Kveck’s ASAP pop-up project presents Prompt: recent painting studies and performance documentation. Sketchbook notes, inner dialogues and stage directions as prompts propel creative action. Informed by a feminist practice, Kveck’s collaborative work activates social perceptions and dialogue around vulnerability, chaos, agency and transformation.
Wendy’s project Prompt features work based on a performance titled Undone. Documentation from the Undone series
All photographs by Emily Sarten other than those credited to Mikayla Whitmore.
Undone is an ongoing project by Kveck activating paintings and collage work while unpacking, through repetition and performance, rituals of femininity and feminine and anti-feminist tropes.
Thank you to collaborators: Adriana Chavez, Felicia Gassen, Alisha Kerlin, Toshie McSwain (wigcraft.vegas), Quindo Miller, Emily Sarten and Mikayla Whitmore.
