Guest Curator œ 2010 Kansas City Flatfiles
The "2010 Kansas City Flatfile," featuring two-dimensional artwork by Kansas City-based artists in media including drawing, photography, prints and mixed-media works on paper as well as time-based artwork in the "Videofile," will be on view from June 19 to Sept. 25 at the H&R Block Artspace at the Kansas City Art Institute, 16 E. 43rd St. The exhibition opens with a reception from 6 to 8 p.m. Friday, June 18.

In 2001, the "Kansas City Flatfile" was established as an invitational biennial exhibition to highlight the breadth and quality of visual artwork created in Kansas City. In collaboration with Brooklyn-based Pierogi Gallery flatfiles, the first exhibition at the Artspace introduced this innovative, interactive exhibition format in which viewers are encouraged to browse through individual artist portfolios stored within flatfile cabinets, or select video works to screen within the "Videofile" portion of the exhibition. All visitors curate their own viewing experience.

The "Kansas City Flatfile" provides visitors with a unique and intimate art viewing experience, while introducing audiences to new work by emerging and established Kansas City artists. During the course of the exhibition, guest curators are invited to select artwork from the flatfile for inclusion in changing salon-wall installations.

While returning artists make up the majority of the "2010 Kansas City Flatfile" participants, new and younger artists, recommended by their peers, have helped grow the exhibition to more than 180 participants. This exhibition has become a much-anticipated venue to discover new artists, see new bodies of artwork by familiar artists and purchase or barter for artworks for addition to a growing number of Kansas City art collections
