Christmas party & closing celebration...
t r a n s p o r t yourself beyond the usual!
Saturday December 19th, 6 to 9pm, at the FLOAT gallery.
This year, instead of buying-in to the consumption hustle, come enrich your senses at the FLOAT Gallery, to celebrate an artful awareness project.
Replace the usual material escape! Come look into your life, with a free psychic reading...
& Give deeper... to someone special in your life, with discount FLOAT gift certificates available only at the event.
The Genie will summon up live "scratch guitar" for your ears.
About the exhibit:
In this project, a car dies to give life to awareness, from one transformative vow:
I will never again own a fossil fuel burning vehicle.
Witness the t r a n s f o r m a t i o n : a public interactive awareness process, a chance to make art with a usually untouchable machine.
Witness the d e c o n s t r u c t i o n : a live sculptural process, with each unhinged piece unearthing new questions in participants.
Inspired inside the floatation tanks—with their own ability to transport us—this project will now come alive right next to them. See a powerful film of mechanical and self-deconstruction. Sit down inside car-part-artwork sculpted into an experiential living room. Bring your hands to kinesthetic pieces, offered for your own reconstruction. And follow our evocative wall of visual artwork welded with introspective writing. All inviting a new space to open up in you, to t r a n s p o r t your own life...
