O1ARTS Curation

Polkadots Community Art Installation
FB link: https://www.facebook.com/events/1001351353333255/
Using Yayoi Kusama's large-scale paintings and installations as inspiration, O1ARTS is sponsoring the largest community art installation in Ogden's history.  It's our goal to cover 25th Street between Washington Blvd and Ogden Avenue with polkadots from as many residents and community groups as possible!

Molly Morin - "Catch Me" - Projection on E side of 455 bldg

Catch Me is an interactive drawing program that lets participants drive a generative drawing. A rotating set of procedures will let the audience build the work as animated forms chase the cursor around the projection. The drawing will build and change over the course of the evening, inviting input from passers-by.

Window Installation:
Inside the dark, hollow room of 455 25th Street a tangle of hundreds of florescent cords floats and drapes over a mountain of black detritus.  From a designated viewpoint the chaos of glowing cords aligns to reveal a scene of hovering jellyfish.  Students of Cara Krebs's Weber State Drawing class designed and executed this spatial drawing as an exploration of illusion, line and perspective.

The project will consist of ice blocks, rope, and twine. The ice blocks are tied with contractor-grade rope and twine and then suspended above the ground using an existing structure found on location. The ice blocks are hung in such away that as they melt they move and create tension with each other. The exciting part of the sculpture is to watch as the tension is released and then the viewer is able to see the slack ropes and twine as a record of the event.

WSU Students @ PLATFORMS
Jake McIntire's Students from Weber State University's Art 1130 - intro to 3D Design course will be making sculptures which incorporate light as a central design element.
