ADDITIONAL PLUS GALLERY ARTIST NEWS OF NOTE TO START THE FALL 2013 SEASON

Bill Amundson was just profiled in his hometown Stoughton News, it's great to read up more on what's happening with Bill, an artist we all miss dearly here in Denver: http://www.stoughtonnews.com/articles/2013/09/15/creative-irreverent-and-pretty-dumb-artist-returns-hometown-career-intact And last year Plus Gallery screened the fascinating experimental narrative "Night Sky" by LA artist and filmmaker Alison O'Daniel to a packed house.  O'Daniel is an absolute gem, we feel very strongly about her work and urge you all to consider supporting her new project "The Tuba Thieves," which has only one week left for its current fundraising campaign.  There are lots of great perks for getting involved, and we certainly hope that Plus Gallery and possibly the Denver Theatre District might host the outcome of the project at a future date.  Here is Alison's synopsis for the theme behind the "Tuba Thieves" Over the past several years, tubas have been stolen from middle schools and high schools all over the Los Angeles area to be sold on the black market for a high price. This story of stolen sound has inspired a collaborative process with sound (or the lack thereof), resulting in a film and series of sculptures made in response to three commissioned musical scores. Thanks to a bunch of amazing volunteers, talented crew, and support from Art Matters, the Foundation for Contemporary Art, L.A. Louver and Art in General, we've completed the first scene. We are thrilled that over the next year we have been invited to shoot and exhibit several more scenes, presenting them as non-linear installations. Eventually they will be combined into a feature film. Our next shoots involve re-staging a 1980 punk show that took place at the Deaf club, followed by a re-enactment of John Cage's 1952 performance of 4' 33" (his 'silent' score that challenged perceptions of sound, music, and performance).
