Gili’s Rappaport’s Gatherade Stand w/ KSMoCA students, 2022
Gili Rappaport facilitated a socially engaged artwork titled The Gatherade Stand with the students at KSMoCA. The artwork had several components, such as poetry writing, music making, and creating a nettle soda emblazoned with the well-known Gatorade symbol. The Gatorade symbolism was a pop gesture, a throwback to the work of Corita Kent.
I worked with the students to document the freshly canned soda. We captured the photographs using a SX-70 Polaroid Land Camera. The students naturally grew interested in the function of the camera. Teaching them about the SX-70 camera became part of the collaborative process of how to compose the photographs.
