About Interview Me
Interview Me integrates public installation, multi-media performance, and dance theatre to explore the ways in which interviews function in our society.  Curry+Dillon exploit the drama and architecture of “the interview” in a highly interactive evening where the audience plays a significant role in the experience.  Drawing from historical references and contemporary social media, Interview Me forces an up-close investigation of America’s love affair, and contemporary culture’s fascination, with the interview.

Interview Me is supported in part by 4Culture, Office of Arts and Cultural Affairs, Northwest Film Forum and other generous donors.

Ticket Information
Tickets available at Brown Paper Tickets, at Northwest Film Forum and at the door.

It will provide a mix of practices, with the emphasis on emerging practices in multiple disciplines that find themselves embedded or even just on the edge of the digital. It will convene a celebratory (in the triumphant spirit of preceding historic poetry festivals) and thought-filled gathering of 150 artists, writers, and scholars from 40 countries — a diversity and culturally rich offering that won’t be found elsewhere.

The Eyes of the Skin, Art and Senses: SOUND

The Eyes of the Skin, Art and Senses: SOUND
February 11th through May 22nd
@ Burchfield Penney Art Center 1300 Elmwood Avenue Buffalo, NY 14222

Featuring work by Mark Shepard, J.T. Rinker and Alexandra Spaulding
Curated by Stefani Bardin

Sunday, February 13th at 3pm
Live performance of Mark Shepard’s Hertzian Rain featured in this show.
Hertzian Rain is an interactive and sonorific sound performance.

About the Exhibition:
The Finnish architect Juhani Pallasmaa wrote a book entitled The Eyes of the Skin: Architecture and the Senses in which he argued against the isolating ocular-centric paradigm in western culture and its impact on phenomenology in favor of a more holistic model of multi-sensory architecture of integration. The series of exhibitions at The Burchfield
Penney Art Center The Eyes of the Skin: Art and the Senses shifts the focus from visually based art toward work that is grounded in a sensorium of sound, smell, taste and touch.

Work from each individual sense will occupy the for a period of months so the public can focus on each of the four senses separately and over a period of time in order to experience the environment within a different
phenomenological model. After each of the four exhibitions, there will be a comprehensive group show in 2012 throughout the museum, of all the work from each of the four senses (plus some new artists and some new
pieces) that will allow the public to be immersed in this holistic and re-envisioned sensorium of perception.

The first exhibition, Sound, will be an investigation into what Marshall McLuhan calls the re-casting of technology with which to understand and act on the world. The three artists: Mark Shepard, J.T. Rinker and Alexandra Spaulding utilize different aural modalities but also different lenses through which to cultivate and express acoustical
information.
