March is just around the corner. The ReceiverFest artists will be here in three weeks. The venues are eagerly anticipating the arrival and installation of the artwork. The organizers are not sleeping. The schedules have gone to print. Four days of participatory projects, sonic installations, and live performances can be overwhelming for a viewer, so it's a good idea to have your own plan of attack. Nobody wants to miss a silent disco. This is a city-wide festival. Pull out your planners and start marking down these dates and times. Everything is free to attend.
For starters, on Thursday, MARCH 10th, go to REDUX CONTEMPORARY ART CENTER to hear David Bowen's lecture at 5:30pm. The opening of Bowen's solo exhibition, Drift, will serve as the official kick-off celebration for ReceiverFest (6-9pm). You can read more about ReceiverFest's featured artist in Art in America.
Much more to come…start reviewing the works and performances you would like to attend here.
Art thrives on the exchange of ideas, and is no longer an object. The changing world offers new possibilities for art production and reception, outside of the traditional media. Time-based media art can manifest itself in several forms and draws concepts from various disciplines. Video art, sonic art, kinetic sculpture, and the more traditional performance art can each be classified as time-based media. The successful evasion of definitions is an attractive quality of time-based media, one that has drawn practitioners, critics, and curators to the field.
Art should be a tool with which to confront and provide reflection upon reality. Works of time-based media art require visual and intellectual curiosity from the viewer. Oftentimes they cannot be realized without the participation of the public. ReceiverFest hopes to contribute to the arts ecology of the region by pushing the boundaries of what should be expected from art today.
The countdown to the inaugural ReceiverFest has begun. In the weeks leading up to the festival, we will be blogging about the artists, the works to be featured, and the amazing venues in Charleston that will be hosting them (along with any other relevant material about the wonders of time-based media). In the meantime, check out Barbara Pollack's article about the rise of participatory art, published in January's ARTnews.
