Vermont Kaleidoscapes |
|
The basic idea of the program is the state provided 7,000 16x12 inch maple palettes that are to be painted or somehow decorated by artists and other ne'er-do-wells throughout the state. I received one of the wooden palettes but instead of using the palette itself I created this video installation piece that uses full-motion video of traditonal Vermont scenery, events and images (shown on the tv in the cabinet) and simultaneously projects a kaleidoscoping pattern based on the video in the shape of a palette on the wall. Much appreciation goes to Josh Burlingame of East Poultney, Vermont for crafting such an exquisite cabinet when I asked, "Can you build me a box?" A lo-res Flash movie can be viewed here. More details and other still frames of the video can be found in this PDF. I'm still fussing with the video - I keep finding ways to "improve" it. When it's complete, I will post the palette video online so you can enjoy it too. I am looking for exhibition opportunities for this piece statewide. If you have ideas for venues that might be appropriate, get in touch: christine@christineglade.com. Installation only requires is a blank wall (preferably white) and a power outlet. |
