Frames in Motion

Ever try to sculpt with cheese? Tamara, Brock and I have! In conjunction with BAMM.TV's Grand Studio Opening, the three of us produced/curated/created a 15 minute video art show that reinterprets traditional art for video. Seven different artists (of The Menagerie Collective, Tamara and myself) contributed 2D/3D work for the studio opening, which then inspired corresponding video pieces made by we three Tourists and Jaqueline Norheim of The Menagerie Collective. Check out the video collection with the (loud) soundtrack of your choice.

Description:

The "Frames In Motion" exhibit finds meaning in the relationship of traditional art and new media, a show in which artists and filmmakers have collaborated to take art off the wall and translate it for the screen: a multi-perspective exploration of the invisible moments between frames in motion.

It's Not Hard to Get By

It's not hard to get by. When the wind blows fast we play soccer in the streets. When the fog wanders through we wonder where to go. We feel the beats of biking blazes and eat good things to eat. When times are tough and the pillow rough, we like to sing hello. Not much can do harm, feels good to feel, because it is every moment a hilarious lesson. We're alien weirdos swirling in a mess of space gook. Think of it that way.
