an attempt at a schedule

At 7 PM on October 28th, 2008, New Orleanians from across the metropolitan area will gather at the Ashe’ Cultural Arts Center for the opening of I-Witness Central City, an ongoing StoryMapping project that aids local residents in reclaiming their history and neighborhoods through sharing personal, site-specific stories. This night will feature films and multi-disciplinary performances from local artists in addition to introducing the public to our online story maps and a new cell-phone walking tour. The stories that make up I-Witness Central City are the personal histories of the places that constitute Central City as told by residents of the area. The evening will be a celebration of Central City involving live storytelling, music, dance, theatre, food and cutting-edge mixed media techniques.

Urban Prospects: Art in Community
Sunday, November 2, 2008, 2-3:30 PM, New Orleans Museum of Art
On Piety artists Jana Napoli and Jan Gilbert will be participating in a panel discussion Urban Prospects: Art in Community Development in which New Orleans-based artists and Prospect.1 biennial artists will present and discuss their community-based artworks and practices on Sunday, November 2, 2008 2:00 – 3:30pm at the New Orleans Museum of Art. This is one of three public programs sponsored by ArtTable in partnership with Prospect.1 New Orleans. Other featured artists include: Willie Birch, Mark Bradford, Mel Chin, Dawn Dedeaux, and Wangechi Mutu.
Prospect.1 artists install- random notes
A quick glimpse into the installation process of a Prospect.1 artist is at Takashi Horisaki's blog, "Social Dress New Orleans." He's installing in an ancient warehouse on Camp Street. He told me that he has the best installers ever - most are his friends or friends of friends, from his days at Loyola U. - and he complains that he has to give them all smoke breaks. Harsh taskmaster that he is, I think he's enjoying this installation. Another installation that literally isn't "on" yet that you might be able to glimpse ahead of time is Cai Guo-Qiang's amazing spiky ball-things hanging inside the unbelievable Colton School auditorium. You probably know his work, but if you don't, think "Footprints of History" at the Beijing Olympics. I admit that the firework explosions of giant footprints in the sky walking across the city made me tear up. And after hearing that they were digital "re-enactments," well, it didn't matter to me, it's still an amazing image. I found his response to the "fireworks controversy" curious: He's doing work in which "the very best vantage point is not the human one." The human vantage point has been going out of style for a almost couple decades now with the use of 3-d effects, where the camera can be anywhere. Where is this taking us humans? Spaceward ho!

ARTinACTION is now AORTA Projects!
The organization previously known as Art in Action is now AORTA Projects. Check out their new weblog and new installations premiering this fall (disclosure - I'm doing one.) The map's right there on the front page. AORTA's had a busy year, with many great projects aimed at reactivating devastated areas. Maps maps everywhere!
