In the category of Independent Project, SOL-ART e.a.s.t!!!
We're nominated for the 2007-2008 Austin Critics' Table Award!
We were only on the ground for two days, thanks for remembering!
And in case you missed it and are curious about who and what we were, here are stills and VRs of the installations, thanks to Robert Harshman who does exceptional work himself.
Go HERE to see installation shots from yesterday and last night.
Worth a trip - you'll find us just a little further east of Bolm Studios. See the map below.
SOL-ART - we're there until 5 pm, then POOF! we're gone!
Worth a trip to far east Austin -- Ann Tucker's tea wall looks amazing, Sybil Miller's Tibetan video installation questions our ideas of contemporary Tibetan culture, Gaulager/Winger-Bearskin/Latimer's installation relies on viewer input. George Morrow and Alex Morton make wonderful use of objects found on site, and Amy Grappell's video and photographs question the traditional family.
If that isn't enough, there's lots more, including Heidi Stanfield's mixed media works, Peter Tucker's video-in-a-dresser, a deconstructed house, music and Saturday night's DJ party with Dirk Diggla.
SOL-ART e.a.s.t. is a combination of works, sounds, and site that will never again be seen. So be sure to see it while you can, this weekend only!
Directions: from downtown, go east on E. 7th, left on Shady Lane, cross Airport, right on Bolm, continue east on Bolm 2/10th of a mile, left on Perry. SOL-ART will be down Perry, on your right, can't miss it!
OR from HWY 183, exit Bolm, go west on Bolm, Perry is the first right after the stop sign.
Or just look at the map.
We have a wonderful map of the site, thanks to Theresa Noyes! So take a look and come see the real thing, Saturday and Sunday -- you know the drill.
