cSPACE King Edward presents the 20/20 Wavelength Project.
The community exhibition is an evolving collaborative art project that puts a spotlight on artists in our community, and invites participation from the public throughout the length of the exhibition. Are we on the same wavelength? Are we even close?
When we layer our points of view, do we feel in harmony?
Or is there just more discord?
In November lead artist Andy Moro will creatively transform the exhibition into light-filled artworks to be installed on the lawn of cSPACE King Edward. These lanterns into the community will shine a light on the present moment, literally and figuratively, and inspire us through the long winter nights ahead.
The community exhibition launches at 2pm on Saturday, September 26th and runs until October 25th. The Art Cube installation will be announced in November.
With special thanks to our sponsors, Alberta Culture Days, Lemay, and our collaborators at the Indefinite Arts Centre.
cSPACE community member Michael Dargie interviews Wavelength Lead Artist Andy Moro in this podcast dedicated to the creative rebel and entrepreneur in all of us.
