Plus Gallery is supporting the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art's fantastic summer symposium MEDIALIVE 2012 which runs Friday July 13th through Sunday the 15th (Full schedule of events posted at end of this newsletter). MEDIALIVE 2012 brings together artists who explore emerging forms of live audiovisual performance. The very notion of what it means for a work to be live, the interplay between modes of perception such as sight and sound, and the entanglement of human interaction with technology all come into focus as artists investigate the elasticity of form and content, bridging the analog and digital realms. This three-day symposium presents a variety of approaches, discusses the technology and underlying theoretical, formal and conceptual considerations, and offers opportunities to explore live media tools first-hand.
Plus Gallery is working at the forefront to develop community interest in new media and motion based arts through our curatorial efforts with the Denver Theatre District as witnessed recently with this year's Create Denver Week program "SightLine" as well as last year's CDW platform "Frame of Mind." The interest and spectacular resonance of those programs has convinced us that a new dynamic for engaging with visual art is currently sweeping across the globe, though few locations have as distinct and ongoing a platform as the infrastructure and directive that is supported by Denver's Arts and Venues through the Denver Theatre District. Our latest projects are in support of like-minded showcases such as BMOCA's MEDIALIVE 2012, which commences with a full slate of activities next Friday the 13th in Boulder.
Those who want to get into their new-media groove early that day can visit Plus Gallery at 12 noon on the 13th for an intimate get-down with international sensation Jeremy Bailey, who is visiting Colorado for the MEDIALIVE symposium. Jeremy provided one of the highlights of our latest curatorial effort "SightLine," closing out the program with a digital dance performance of rare sophistication and tongue-in-cheek reverie. In keeping with his uber-star mantra, the gallery will be bursting with glowsticks and a presentation of Jeremy's web-based works that have exploded virally across the world.
Jeremy Bailey is a Toronto-based new media and performance artist whose work explores custom software in a performative context. "His work is often confidently self-deprecating in offering hilarious parodies of new media vocabularies." (Marisa Olson, Rhizome) Recent projects include performances for Transmediale, FACT, the Tate Liverpool and the New Museum.
