Hey Friends, Teammate Marc Billard and I are back from Steamboat Springs where we had a wonderful First Friday with very enthusiastic people. It took us 5 days to do the installation but it is worth it. There will be photos to share. We will be there every weekend hosting through the first weekend in January, representing the light art of the late Dorothy and Mel Tanner.
(About the photo…someone asked… the photo of Marc and I was not taken in the new Boathouse installation. I am in front of Dorothy Tanner’s Enigma at Lumonics and Marc didn’t want me to smile when he took the photo. He was right…I like it. I took the photo of Marc when he was standing in front of a staircase but later he put himself in front of one of the digital images he created for the performances…which probably started as one of the hand-painted slides created by the Tanners.
Visit www.lumonics.net ….it contains archives of an art project that began when the Tanners met at the Brooklyn Museum School of Art in 1949 and shows the evolution of two artists and their leap of genres and focus on providing experiences to raise awareness in oneself and refresh your thinking. Marc and I, with the help of friends, are in the process of preserving the collection of over 200 works. And the immersives at Lumonics beginning in1969 are its continuation and evolvement today. They have the vibe which is our intent. As Dorothy said, “Take a vacation from yourself”.
