Act/React Exhibition
October 4, 2008 - January 11, 2009
Milwaukee
A first-of-its-kind survey, this exhibition will explore a growing body of installation artwork where the interactivity involved is intuitive, non-technical, and performed with the entire body of the visitor. Act/React explores the physical and conceptual boundaries between artists, artworks, galleries, and viewers, testing historical and contemporary assumptions about these essential elements of art-related forums. The 10,000 square-foot installation will feature talking tables, virtual snowstorms, pathways of fluorescent light, and glowing pools of organic patterns - all dependent upon and subject to the physical influence of the visitor, and groups of visitors, in the gallery space. Artists contributing work include: Brian Knep, Academy Award-winning computer graphics software developer for Steven Spielberg’s Jurassic Park; Liz Phillips, a 39-year veteran of interactive sound and multi-media installations; Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller, known for their narrative, audio-driven walks through museums and cities; Camille Utterback; Marie Sester, and several others. Act/React is guest curated by George Fifield and coordinated at the Milwaukee Art Museum by Joe Ketner, chief curator. Fifield is founding Director of Boston Cyberarts, Inc., a non-profit arts organization.
