The CUBE PROJECT
I made the above film about the Cube Project. I shot it in HD, so you can watch it at better quality on YouTube if you choose that button in the screen above.
The Cube Project is a one week temporary, but huge exhibit
sandwiched before the next batch of scheduled installations on the LEA sims. It
was a wonderful way to let artists play in a common theme of cubes during the
intermission just before the new exhibits go up. The technique of using a
limited palette is applied here, where instructions requested everything to be
made by a cube, and in black and white. Of course, artists will be artists, and
evidence of stretching the limits is evident throughout the 16 or so sims which
make up this unusually beautiful collaborative composition. Some cubes have
been stretched into rectangles, some are textured with print, and I myself
applied cube textures onto alpha spheres, but in all cases, the essence of the
cube is preserved. The limited palette unites all the artists’ works
successfully into a cubic culture. With so much area to cover while filming, I
only hope I included most of the pieces on display. My installation is the
landscape with giant spiders in their webs made of cubes. I have two elegantly
long legged spiders residing just outside my window. They were the inspiration
for my build. The exhibit continues until Sept 1, 2012, after which time,
thousands and thousands of cubes will vanish into the infinite void beyond
cyberspace.
Here is a list of participating artists:
