CultureMap Dallas and Aurora Co-founder Joshua King have come up with a list of 10 must-see moments.
1. Abstract Expressionism vs. Ain't It Radial Campaign by Simple Civilian (A.I.R. CAMP)Inside a 40-foot inflatable dome in Klyde Warren Park, visitors can listen to a sound installation and join in the creative process by painting on the walls of the womb-like bubble.
2. AutoGene by Peter William Holden
Encompassing movement, light and sound, this German artist’s mechanical piece
in One Arts Plaza features a whimsical installation of umbrellas that open and
close to the happy tune of—what else?— “Singin’ in the Rain.”
3. Blueprints and Perspective by the 3_Search collective
A collaboration between curator Leo Kuelbs, artist John Ensor Parker and the
working group Glowing Bulbs, the Brooklyn-based 3-Search transforms the Wyly
Theatre’s north and west-facing sides in a projection mapping piece that blends
the best of art and architecture.
4. Color Synethesia, Version IV - Silent Version by Anne Katrine Senstad
Held inside the Cathedral Shrine of the Virgin Guadalupe just after the end of
mass, this projection piece comes to Dallas courtesy of the Norwegian consulate,
who helped the Norway-born, New York-based artist bring her work to Dallas. An
alumnae of the Venice Biennale, Senstad’s video alters space through
transformative color compositions.
5. Data Flow by Eric Glisman and Scott and Nicole Horn
A playful water installation from Dallas-based artists, this incandescent piece
flows and glows in front of the Crow Collection and the Nasher Sculpture
Center.
6. Never Jam Today by Silk Stockings and Emily Loving
Up-and-coming dancing duo Danielle Georgiou and Hillary Holsonback take over
the east side of Klyde Warren Park from 7 pm until midnight with an athletic
interactive video installation and performance inspired by Alice
in Wonderland.
7. Light Dancers by Mari Hidalgo
King chooses his fiancé’s two performances as a must-see not only because “I’ve
got to brag on my girl,” but also because her collaboration with Booker T.
Washington students has led to a supportive alliance for up-and-coming local
talent. Dancers in her lighted costumes are onsite at 8:30 pm in Klyde Warren
Park and 10:30 pm at AT&T Performing Arts Center.
8. Points of Life by Shane Pennington and Kelly Price, Dan Cantrell and Daniel Fabricant
Event co-founder’s Pennington’s LED curtain inside the Dallas City Performance
Hall is a vibrant backdrop to a musical trio’s performance. One of the first
Aurora installations to live inside a building, Points of Life
will be a permanent addition to the venue.
9. Wave Interference Patterns by Simon Longo/DITHERNOISE
Ambient noise controls the visuals as the crowd strolls by this London-based
artist’s 12-by-12-foot cube inside the water feature on the east side of the
Dallas Museum of Art.
10. XenArt by Syncrolite
Finally, the architectural and theatrical lighting company that helped make the
2010 London Olympics Opening Games such a showstopper is turning their talents
to illuminating the west-facing façade of One Arts Plaza.
