Time Arts Continuum

May 18 – June 30, 2012

Opening Reception: Friday, May 18th from 5 – 9pm
Reception will include a live performance and video screening by the Bell Monks at 7pm and a performance in conjunction with Valadez’s installation from 5:30 – 9pm.

A group of regional artists from Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan and Iowa will be displaying work using time-based technologies.

Video art, as opposed to film, is a non-passive media.  The installations exhibited in Time Arts Continuum force the viewer to connect with each piece in a particular way, either through the physical movement required for the viewer to properly interact with the work, or through the ubiquitous reaction solicited from an installation.  It requires the viewer to engage with each video installation in order for it to live as a complete work of art.  It entices the viewer to continue to move, to act and to reflect on the content and imagery throughout the viewing of the work.

Artists include:
Sam Blanchard (MI, video installation)
Jeff Herriott (WI, video)
Lynn Lukkas (MN, video installation)
Eric Sheffield & Anna Weisling (WI, video)
Jessica Teckemeyer (IA, sound installation)
Dean Valadez (WI, video installation)
