In my father’s work, the goal for the payloads was the retrieval of data in the form of gamma-rays. As an artist, I have grown most interested in the release of the balloon itself, as a metaphoric embodiment of the activity of questioning.

They went looking for interesting arts initiatives and interventions throughout the Midwest and photographed/videotaped/documented the people, places and cities who make art in this region to document and export in the most spectacular way. The result is a sculptural self-contained information kiosk showcasing the character active in this region. Also its a sweet boat.<br /></span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Mary Beth Carolan & Robert Reese</span> "Drawing Power"<br />as described by Carolan<br /><br />An interactive sculpture that will transform through two stages of energy. The first stage will be a high energy dance performance. Dancers silhouettes will be lit with high powered industrial lights that draw power from the grid. The performance will be viewed from four different sides of the cube. As night falls the sculpture will transform into a quieter experience. Solar powered lights will kick on, drawing power only from the storage provided by the sun that day. Audience members will be invited to come inside, lounge around, and gaze at the solar light show.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Tzarinas of the Plane</span> Faina Lerman & Bridget Michael<br /><br />As mentioned above, there will be a dance performance, and it will be Detroit's Tzarinas of the Plane. Here's what they have to say:<br /><div>"<span class="ecxApple-style-span" style="">From all space between the edges and the blood, the Tzarinas emerge from the plains in colors, without pardons to refuse your warmest kisses and exude forgotten delights. Praise and glory are not the ways to enlightenment, instead, despair, confusion, beauty, and joy deliver us to the oneness we seek.<br /><br /><br /></span><span class="ecxApple-style-span" style=""><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:180%;" >In the Galleries</span></span><br /><span class="ecxApple-style-span" style=""><a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.metrotimes.com/editorial/story.asp?id=9647">Miroslav Cukovic</a> "DRAWings"</span><br /><span class="ecxApple-style-span" style="">The ever talented Slovenian artist Cukovic brings drawings that make you want to cry because they are so good and you can't quite put your finger on what it is about them that makes you look at them for so long.<br /><br />8mm Film Collage by <span style="font-weight: bold;">Guillotine Productions</span><br />When you run a used record album business, you end up with not just LPs but a variety of older media.

This note-doodling is important, as it becomes a physical representation of our minds at work processing data, and is a uniquely wonderful instance of image and text coming into simultaneous existence as two manifestations of one thing.<br /><br />To explore these note-doodles and focus, we have created an environment of speakers and note-takers through a series of lectures and lecture-performances. The program features 8 lectures covering a wide range of topics, and we invite you to doodle during them! The price of admission for guests to attend the event will be only that they take notes and draw(doodle).

Everything seems to appear overnight, there's suddenly plops of green everywhere, and those white blossom trees really make it hard to be in a *%##!# mood. <br /><br />It also doesn't hurt that the next show at The Lot is going to be....pretty much awesome. Let me break it down for you.<br /><br />Stephanie Hafer and Corwin Levi are artists living in NYC and Mysteryville, Virginia respectively, and they proposed a show that I like very much.<br /><br />"Drawing in the Margins" is an event about celebrating the act of doodling and about celebrating an unlikely collection of lecturers. This show allows us to role-play in a familiar scene: you're in school and there's someone talking and you're doodling. But this is better because you're outside in a cool empty lot and it brings together a seemingly random group of people in our community and we get to use our brains and have fun. <br /><br />For me as an event planner, "Drawing in the Margins" allows me to get meta and playful as we envision surreal sets from which the speakers can lecture and I'm on my quest for a keyboardist (for the music in between presenters of course). Our panel of lecturers runs the gamut from an assistant coach for the Detroit Lions to an ER doctor to a self described Hippie McGuyver. <br /><br />Over the next few weeks leading up to the event we're going to get to know them on this blog. Thank goodness for blogs.<br /><br /><br />PS Mark your calendars for May 8th, 1pm-3:30pmThe Lothttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12321865382289262961noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611076504219202260.post-34923069289737002872009-09-03T07:02:00.000-07:002009-09-03T18:58:45.422-07:00A magical way to end a magical summerI can't believe the summer is over. The weather was surprisingly mild for us Michigan folk, which made for some lovely lovely days, but boy did it go by fast.<br /><br />This last show asked more questions than it answered, and it was a fitting way to go into autumn, a season I always find as a time for reflection. The performance by <a href="http://moderngaragemovement.com/splash.html">MGM</a> could not be contained by the physical space of The Lot, and it spilled out into the sidewalk, the street, and even my neighbor's house. A mix of synchronicity and improvisation, the dancers took us through a chopped up narrative, but the story was up to us to imagine. My favorite reactions were bemused smiles and questioning head-tilts. The music of <a href="http://www.myspace.com/incaoreincaore">Inca Ore</a> is difficult to categorize. It feels as much as it sounds. The unrestrained vocals of Eva Salens guided us into the dark of the evening, and the flute....

Zivich and Young also work under the moniker <span style="font-style: italic;">Demons</span> with Steve Kenney, and run an art and music label in Detroit, <a href="http://www.wolfeyes.net/aaindex.html">AA Records</a>. Collino plays haunting violin in his solo project DOG LADY. Zivich is the video genius, crafting beautiful and hypnotic visual fields out of the sonic frequencies made by Young (who also performs in the band Wolf Eyes) while Collino adds his damaged melodies. The video and the music happen live, and experiencing the union will make you a better person.<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Peaking Lights at 8pm!</span><br />Messed up Pop Music from Madison, WI<br />Rare sighting of these mystical creatures that live in rocks<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgewAntehUTT6_USpxdYKr3u0_PVNMvh-uSHxJ-pJUCJKgSSMYOxZEiQAf-0Poj93KlIjeH9TnY6SfXkQzLUnTrwePFMxm2b3_Dp5_SUEMAp1re__HjXpcKwMrqFvaqyz9A6h8hy6tVVjVt/s1600-h/pl_rock.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 286px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgewAntehUTT6_USpxdYKr3u0_PVNMvh-uSHxJ-pJUCJKgSSMYOxZEiQAf-0Poj93KlIjeH9TnY6SfXkQzLUnTrwePFMxm2b3_Dp5_SUEMAp1re__HjXpcKwMrqFvaqyz9A6h8hy6tVVjVt/s400/pl_rock.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369464183583201250" border="0" /></a><a href="http://www.myspace.com/peakingfix"><br /></a><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.myspace.com/peakingfix">Peaking Lights</a> (Madison, WI) are a married couple that make self-described f*cked modern pop music. Reviews of their music often cite their marital bliss as the reference point for “sparks of warm fuzz” and “delicate psychedelia”. Making their own synthesizers and employing lo-fi recording techniques, Aaron Coyes and Indra Dunis work in that magical land where art and music become one. The duo practice and record in a barn on the outskirts of town designed by a Frank Lloyd Wright disciple, and they run an eclectic resale store called the Good Style Shop that also serves as a spot for live music in downtown Madison.

Coincidentally my neighbors were having their own party, a fire hydrant water party! The parties quickly became one as The Lot patrons ran through the water finding relief from the heat and the kids discovered the art show, playing putt-putt and eating lemons out of the punch.

It is truly a sight to behold, rivaling the neon lights of the Motor City Casino just blocks away. Frog Mountain challenges us in a mysterious way, but the secret of Frog Mountain is in the frogs. Playing, pointing, napping and showing off their behinds, the frogs show us the world we want to be in.
