Brad Ford: Broken Sculpture
Digital Dada off-the-wall
On view Valentine's Day through Memorial Day | Fridays & Saturdays, 5-10PM
FEED.art launches its 2025 season with a ground—and screen—breaking, site-specific installation by mixed media artist Brad Ford. The Broken Sculptures dance on a line between plastic and ethereal art, repurposing a large collection of donated flatscreen TVs as bas-relief digital paintings in a salon hanging. Ford’s hand shows in the pop-painterly animations and the altered TVs themselves. The artist extends animated paintings beyond the glowing screens with drawings splaying all over the TVs. Ford’s spidery linework is extended by rainbow web fractures in the displays—some formed by accident, others by intent.
Brad Ford’s whimsical new work is accompanied by earlier works, both digital and physical, installed throughout cafeGIANT: the newest project from FEED.art. cafeGIANT welcomes guests in Erie’s Downtown ARTs District to a cozy storefront coffee shop with a TINYstage. Performers are invited to sign up for 15-minute slots, playing to an intimate house within, passersby on State Street, and livestream audiences around the world.
