What: Art(ists) on the Verge IV
Where: The Soap Factory (514 2nd Street Southeast,Minneapolis, MN 55414)
Who: Mad King Thomas (that’s us!), Asia Ward, Sarah Julson, Chris Houltberg, and Anthony Warnick
What: ART. Like, visual art? We think. Anyway, we made some phone dances and we would like for you to come to the Soap Factory and experience them.
When: May 4th – 26th, 2013
Opening night reception May 4th, 7 – 11 pm. We will be there looking as artistic as possible.
So, now that we got all those details out of the way, here is the real nitty gritty: For nine months, we’ve basically been hermits who don’t blog or otherwise interact with others, because we’ve been working on these “phone dances”.
We decided for some godforsaken reason to combine our love/hate of dance with our love/hate of telephones. And the product is, at least in our humbly royal opinion, pretty rad. We are thrilled to have spent all this time hanging out with people who know about laser cutters and plywood, typefaces and electronics. (We contributed our usual wiggly dance moves and vulgar jokes.)
Now for a made-up FAQ:
Do I have to come on May 4th to get the good stuff?
You can come to the gallery any time during the installation and experience the dances we made. You won’t necessarily see our pretty faces but there is a live component…just come to the show already and it will all make sense.
Should I bring my cell phone?
Yes. Although if you actually leave home without your phone regularly, we would like to hear from you because you are not normal.
