the heap presents: altered egos
Dates:
Fri May 01, 2009 00:00 - Sun Apr 26, 2009
Space Gallery - San Francisco - Friday May 1st - 8pm-2am
A mysterious media collective will be exhibiting and curating 'Altered Egos'; a show of new works in the Tenderloin on Friday May 1st at Space Gallery. A multi-disciplinary art, sound, and video event aims to highlight work that viscerally confronts the audience with reflections on ego. The Heap's emphasis on work with interactive, self-reflexive, and experiential components have the potential to create an environment that includes the viewer as an integral component to the work.
Sound artists include: Thomas Dimuzio, Nero's Day at Disneyland, Celine Dion, Coconut, and Spider Compass Good Crime Band. DJ's Fontana Williams and Primo tie the room together.
Visual works include those of Liz Maher, Bonnie Banks, Chris Basmajian, Grant Earl Levalley, Scott Moffett, Zach Nash, Jason Gowens, Scott Brown, Mary Hill, Jenny Gag, John O'Donnell, as well as work by The Heap itself.
$3-6 Donation includes entry and event poster

the heap presents: altered egos
Deadline:
Fri Apr 03, 2009 00:00
The event: Friday May 1st, 2009
Location: Space Gallery - San Francisco
Altered Egos is an event highlighting art and sound that directly confronts and engages the audience so that there is no passive way to observe the work. The Heap intends to create a unique environment that forces dialog between the viewer, the artists, and the space by encouraging work that is visceral, dynamic, and interactive. This concept could mean a variety of things depending on an artists approach, medium, and interpretation of this concept.
Some elaborations that are in no way concrete terms:
Work that challenges the ego of the viewer thereby altering their state of consciousness.
Reflections on ego, self-changing events, concepts, or a call to do so.
Altered states of being, consciousness, or form.
Ego as a fluid unstable entity and the things that effect its change.
The meaning of ego - culturally, socially.
Identity as a product of ego.
...Take this idea and run with it.
== submission guidelines ==
All mediums and art forms are invited to apply: film, video, sculpture, installation, painting, photography, sound, culinary, etc.
The Heap strongly encourages work with interactive, self-reflexive, and experiential components. Think big, or small.
