Dance/Art Performance at
gallery F. @ Scarritt-Bennett
Dance performance & exhibition opening: July 24, 7p
Exhibition runs through August 15
Free and open to the public
Join us as we ponder the political, social, economic, and philosophical consequences of the Gulf oil spill through dance and art. gallery F. will be transformed into an installation: a space where artists and the community are invited to make a statement about the Gulf oil spill. A group of local artists and a guest artist from Berlin will showcase their responses to the Gulf disaster through dance, sound sculpture, texts, drawings, video art, and more. The dance performance itself will become visual art, as the dancers leave traces of their steps behind in black oil on white cloths.
The public is invited to participate in the exhibition by leaving comments, art pieces, documents, or interact in conversations with the artists.

What happens when 26 artists play a game of “telephone”
with their art? When one artist creates a piece of art, and a second artist creates a piece of art in response to the first piece, and so on… ?
OPENING RECEPTION: Sat, August 21, 6 to 9p
THROUGH Oct 2
Since July 5, French artist Corinne Spielewoy has been working in collaboration with 25 local artists to create a collection of interconnected pieces of art – in which one anchor piece of art has a gradually spreading influence on all of the others. In preparation for the opening of the exhibit, each artist was given three days to create a piece in response to the previous piece. The culmination of this cooperative effort will be featured in Ripple Effectwith a variety of media represented, including dance,
video, sculpture, and painting.
Inspired by the idea that it is vital for humans to be aware
of our connection to each other, Spielewoy’s goal is to bring
meaning back into human relationships through art projects
that encourage direct human contact. For more information
