I am so excited to share my new work at Hair and Nails Gallery! There will be music, there will be compliments, there will be lots of tissues. Come check it out if you are in the Midwest!
City Pages A Listing for Laying in Wait by Camille LeFevre:
There will be an opening reception on Friday, April 6, from 6 to 10 p.m., and an artist’s conversation Saturday, April 28, at 7 p.m.
Participatory artwork—whether immersive dance/theater productions that invite (aka require!) people to move from room to room while interacting with performers, or mixed-media installations in which viewers are challenged to calibrate their own experiences—haven’t been this popular since the ’60s and ’70s. But today’s practitioners are certainly engaging in some provocative explorations. One of them is Emmett Ramstad. His new piece asks participants to investigate periods of stasis, those moments in which we wait—whether with anticipation, dread, or boredom. In the waiting rooms he’s created, we get to fish for items through a hole in the floor, experience a sense of distortion, and think about what really is happening in the bathroom. Think of it as the re-contextualization of the ordinary—meaning the results could be extraordinary.
