Local multi-talented artist and musician Amanda Jones sez:
Rert is making a movie…
and tonight is part of it.
I (Amanda) am going to bring/set up several different “scenes” (puppet-scale), + a bucketload of performative objects. With a camera set up and music rolling, you can compound the vision with movement, tempo, action. What do you see? Make it real. (There Are No Rules…)
Multi-disciplinary hybrid art in the making. Everyone welcome, needed! Even if you just want to watch… or direct, or whoop, heckle, whistle a tune.
One-point-five hours isn’t much time, so expect to see a machine in motion. This is part of the Co-Lab community spirit vivacious effort to warm up the community. It’s also part of E.A.S.T. Yeehaw!

[no subject] : New Work from Chad Hopper
Sculpture-Mixed Media Collage-Photography-Installation
Installation: Saturday, September 19, 7-11 PM
Chad sez:
I waited until there were no more ideas and welcomed the creative void.
Starving for influence from another extreme, I sought out inspiration from the superfluous and inane.
My alter ego is a hermit that recycles all types of garbage so I became intrigued with the subject headings from my electronic junk mail.
Then I challenged myself to translate them into a variety of mediums.
What at first seems vague and impersonal becomes quite the contrary.
Color, shape, and texture combine to express the disconnected messages as they settle in a marriage of my subconscious and frontal lobe.
I found a way to expose the emotion of shapes and words sent forth by strangers by constructing interpretive metaphors.
A brainstorm wedged in between absurdity and apathy.
What happens when we stop running from a mystery and decide to embrace it?
The hermit has left the building and now you are invited to come inside and experience the riddles.
