	Matt Siegle: Loop | 7·30·11 - 7·31·11 | press release
current news + blog artists exhibitions publications contact	Dunham Place Salon is pleased to present Loop, a two-day performative installation by Los Angeles based artist, Matt Siegle, at NADA Hudson, July 30 and 31, 2011. Loop consists of a single performative interaction: the artist will give one drawing to any viewer who wishes to approach him and talk. These drawings are done on t-shirts – specifically, white-colored philanthropic and charity shirts thrifted from second-hand stores, promoting causes such as “Memory Walk for an Alzheimer’s Cure” and “BIG SUNDAY – Pitch In! Help Out! Give Back!”. Siegle turns the shirts inside-out and draws the same DIY-style graphic on each: the Africa-shaped, rainbow guitar logo for the 1985 Live Aid concert. For this iteration of Loop, Siegle has created a leisurely outdoor installation inspired by “Shakedown Street” vendor tents as seen at summer music festivals or Grateful Dead concerts. Viewers will be encouraged to wear the drawing and if they are inclined may exchange something - anything - with the artist for the shirt.
