The Leonardo’s current exhibition Fantastic Fabrications takes you through a faux history of the early 20th Century, using artifacts, images, and tools from an imagined past. It features Boilerplate and Frank Reade, the creations of husband-wife team Paul Guinan and Anina Bennett.
The two artists are currently at The Leonardo’s Lab doing a residency, with workshops that began last weekend and continue through Saturday. In this interview we spoke with them about their blends of fact and fiction as well as what they are doing during the workshops, both at the Leo and next week at the Utah Arts Festival.
In our July edition of 15 Bytes, expect a more in-depth conversation about their unique books.
