Open your mouths and say ahhh for that appetizing pill that is seriously experimental art. Thanks to the folks at Washington Project for the ArtsCorcoran, you can get your fill tonight from 7 to 9 p.m. in Corcoran’s Hammer Auditorium when they conclude their Experimental Media Series with Night #3.
It’s difficult to exaggerate just how far from the canvas we have come, and somewhat serendipitous that WPAC has chosen to present experimental media as part of the continuing ColorField.remix celebration, because back in the mid-1960s and 1970s, when the Washington Color School thrived in D.C.’s art scene, there was a rising anti-technology sentiment among counter-culturalists and artists. Today, digital art reigns supreme – it’s almost rare to see contemporary art that hasn’t been manipulated in Photoshop 10.0. That being said, work in the Experimental Media Series is inspired by Color Field artists or serves as a twenty-first century reinterpretation of the movement.
