Seeing Art San Antonio - Potter-Belmar Labs gets visited
Yesterday morning, a group of ladies led by Donna Simon dropped by PBL to get a little tour of the place, the studios, and the ideas behind the art. Coffee was served, art was seen and discussed, and good times were had.
The tour group got to see Leslie's video mixer in action, as well as a little peek of the animation process in the making of San Antonio Casts a Spell, which will be shown at The Lab in New York this December. There was some interesting discussion about video as a new medium, freer than painting or photography from the constraints and dogmas of hundreds of years of history.
Then they were led down to Jason's studio, where he showed them some fun museum exhibit props, among them a huge wooden combination lock that shows the way such mechanisms work. He also introduced them to his board games in progress, Orbit and a yet unnamed one featuring Buddhas in a labyrinth of movable walls.If you think the idea of a guided tour through San Antonio artists' studios sounds intriguing, visit the Seeing Art San Antonio website at http://www.seeingartsanantonio.com/ and register for a tour.
47th Ann Arbor Film Festival!
Leslie is in Ann Arbor this week with her students at the film festival. If you are anywhere in the vicinity, check out her installation in the lobby:
Vantagepoints: Mapping the 47th Ann Arbor Film Festival
(2009) 45 min, looping
media: Google Earth 4.2, 1.77GHz PowerPC G4 with 2 GB SDRAMM, 100 Mb/s Ethernet, 4x 2.5 GHz PowerPC G5 with 4GB SDRAMM, Final Cut Pro 5.1
Here, the works in the 47th Ann Arbor Film Festival competition are globally sited predominantly by zip code but sometimes by city or even country name. A hand-drawn map with pushpins denoting filmmakers' hometowns used to grace the Michigan Theater Lobby at film festival time. That map was the main inspiration for this video, which is essentially the same thing created using the media of our time.
Also, be sure to see vjFutureWorkerGirl performing with DJ Bob Moir on Saturday night at the Cavern Club.
