SOCIALLY ENGAGED ART

Curation as social praxis.

IDEA FACTORY

Woolen Mills Warehouse

With the Charlottesville Area Community Foundation

Photography by Jesus Pino

I converted a local warehouse into a space of artistic play, community building and ethical visioning. With the ingenuity of performance artist, Claude Wampler, the soundscapes of University of Virginia's Mobile Interactive Computer Ensemble (MICE), and the energy of the Charlottesville community, we dreamed and schemed.  What is art? This.

Poet laureate, Rita Dove, and internationally renown environmental sound artist, Matthew Burtner at the Haven, a converted chapel and support site for the homeless. Burtner and Dove, musicians, an opera singer, community members and their cell phones, generating visual representations of sustainable futures. Conductors of social experimentation.
