Excess

. Excess's mission is to address the paradox of utility by amassing cultural alternatives to the commercial and academic art experience, and in this economy reflect back to negate and to re-envision artistic expression and elements, and to nurture and promote “the tiger in space” in Bloomington. Programming at Excess will be a varied collection of afternoon and evening happenings and exhibitions that involve audience, participation and their reversals. It will also offer several workshops and demonstrations that will continue the mission and allow community engagement in a wide range of creative activities. Monday through Friday will have regular afternoons of open gallery hours, and there will be weekly special events such as poetry and fiction nights, creative skill shares, reading groups, film screenings as well as both local and touring musical performances. We hope that Excess will become a base to utilize, enjoy, (re)learn, and deconstruct. The space will operate through creative programming, promotion, continuing membership and community participation under the banner ‘The infinite does not transcend the finite; rather, it is the very movement of the finite itself.’
