RiverViews Artspace First Friday w/ Lynchburg Tribal; Feb. 3, 2012
Join Lynchburg Tribal at Riverviews Artspace on Friday February 3 for an evening of art, dancing, and superior company!
Event begins at 5:30pm, we'll dance at 7pm
The dancing? Baker Street Beledi, our newest set with a distincitve 1880's flair!
The current art installation? Gibson and Recoder describe the installations in their own words:
In our installation work, we use projected light to articulate space and time. Film projectors and celluloid are the material base of our constructions in light and shadow, the elemental properties of cinema. These things are deeply imbued with a history of viewership in the dark of the theater. To remove it from darkness is to flood this history and cast a certain illumination upon it. A certain exposure. Light spills in the shifting of film from its native darkness in enclosed chambers (camera obscura) to the uncanny openness and defamiliarized illumination of installation. We are exploring the shift, elaborating the displacement, recasting the light mechanics of a peculiar estrangement of the medium. The art of cinema, yes. But more timely: the becoming cinema of art. That is the coming attraction for us.
