Distill: to extract the essential elements of; refine; abstract.

Phidias Gold’s Distillation Show considers the space in which it takes place by asking a group of artists to work directly on blank 1L rum bottles. The unique artwork created for this show pays homage to the Distillery building’s former life as an actual rum distillery while continuing the Distillery Gallery’s outside-of-the-box approach to art exhibits. By combining fine art, design, and product within a gallery, Phidias Gold is “extracting the essential elements of” the brand, the artists, and the space. In addition to custom rum bottles, the exhibit will feature site-specific wall installations and a “product room” which will offer a behind-the-scenes look into Phidias Gold and some of the artists involved with company.

With the combined chemistry of Phidias Gold and The Distillery, the Distillation Show offers a unique perspective on both brand and gallery. Local and national artists affiliated with Phidias Gold will take part in this custom liquor bottle gallery event.
