FREN Productions has curated an art exhibit called “From Studio to Home, Home is Where the Art Is” at the Philmont Public Library where we had local artists bring in work to sell exclusively at $60 with the mission to get fine art into peoples homes/businesses. All art will be for sale through the FREN Productions website, so you can grab and go, or buy cash from the library! Sales go to Columbia County artists and raise money for the library and the founding of FREN Productions. We hope to connect artists, the public and the use of the library as a means of strengthening our community's resources through the arts.

I. VI. X is an ensemble that does spoken word poetry supported by experimental guitarist Eric Hardiman and drum improvisations by Kid Milliosn. FREN Productions will be filming and recording the set by playing with the camera in creative ways. Come and immerse yourself in this happening while surrounded by the current exhibit on display, Reed Anderson's, PAPA Object.

Anderson’s Papa Object is an ongoing project which presents a body of collage and print-based works on paper that probe the role of art and objects in a world saturated with material goods.  Anderson’s process-driven work utilizes scanned images sourced from auction catalogs and magazines, transformed to advert-poster scale paintings that are layered with hand-printed shapes, spray-paint, and brushwork. The resulting compositions animate and re-contextualize the presentation of high low objects that populate contemporary life.  

From Anderson’s notes about the project:
“Papa Object was inspired by a childhood of overwhelmingly abundant material culture and redeems talismanic individual objects from their anonymity in a marketplace gone off the rails.”
