Currently mulling over the idea of a gallery installation piece.
Concept
Showing a single film in several versions which are projected simultaneously on the walls of one room and/or on large, flowing hanging fabric, set to movement themselves by fans. Each film version would have different editing, music, color adjustments, different perspectives of the same shot--long shots, close ups, etc-- lighting, special effects. etc. A moving version of Andy Warhol's concept in his silk screen dyptich of the Marilyn Monroe photograph.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marilyn_Diptych
Another Concept:
An installation entitled, "Wall Works", showing our four most recent improvisations which were filmed in silhouette against a plain white wall. Each film would be projected onto walls of the room, and shown simultaneously. The viewer would use headphones at each wall/film to hear the music, as opposed to the sound being projected into the room simultaneously, which might be a bit cacaphonous.(A good thing or a bad thing?)Perhaps offer an opening program with either of these ideas, which would feature improvisational live musicians, inviting the audience to free-dance/improvise movement inspired by the music.
Film this, add it to the exhibit afterwards. This concept perhaps influenced by an original punk tenet: anyone can be a rock star.
Anyone can and should dance.
(Serve wine beforehand)
I love the first concept of film on a flowing sheet. I can almost see it in my head!!!!
ReplyDeleteGwyn, I like both of the ideas. "Wall Works" is a great theme/name! Love the idea of the sheets too. Can the music and pieces be separated by rooms so that the music is appreciated for each piece? Both ideas seem very fun and creative! The poem below is wonderful! I like her take on the film and the pondering of the movements! Love it all! Go for it Gwyn! Love, Em
