Claire Elizabeth Barratt, director of Cilla Vee Life Arts, has produced a multiple-video experience that explores the creative elements of dance and movement. The exhibition can be seen and experienced at the Flood Gallery in Phil Mechanic Studios, 109 Roberts Street in the River Arts District, through the end of the month.
“Dance is the New Visual Art” is an installation of video pieces, each created specifically for the camera. The result is visual artistry, and not a documentation of a dance performance.
The videos are played simultaneously and continuously, some projected onto screens and others displayed on monitors.
The combination of screens and monitors takes on sculptural forms created by fabric and paper in white and black. These forms serve not only as screens on which to display the videos, but also design the shape of the space, creating a complete environment for the viewer. Visitors to the exhibit can use headphones to hear the sounds related to each piece.
Claire created all the videos in collaboration with numerous artists from a variety of disciplines. “Sallimone,” for example, is a short, abstract art video produced with two local Asheville artists (composer Kimathi Moore and videographer Charles Elmer). Another piece, “Silver,” is a movement meditation with bowed gong music by Japanese percussionist Tatsuya Nakatani and shot by New York/Jamaican video artist Randy F Simon.
