Spotlight on “Question Bridge: Black Males,” Innovent’s Transmedia Partner at the Sundance Festival 2012

Blessings come in threes. The artist-producers behind “Question Bridge: Black Males,” an immersive art installation turned educational transmedia project, are still spinning from the events at Sundance Institute’s New Frontier Story Lab in Utah. The Story Lab provides creative storytelling support to artists contributing to the emerging field of multi-layered, multi-formatted, immersive narratives. Question Bridge creators Chris Johnson, Hank Willis Thomas, Bayete Ross Smith, and Kamal Sinclair couldn’t be more thankful for the honor of taking part in this inaugural Story Labs. But now they have another humbling blessing - Question Bridge is now on the roster of the Sundance Film Festival’s New Frontier exhibition line up for January 2012.

Maybe blessings come in threes. Prior to being chosen to take part in Sundance’s Story Lab, Question Bridge, partnering with transmedia firm Innovent, has secured exhibit partners in Brooklyn and Oakland. The Question Bridge art installation is scheduled to open at the Brooklyn Museum and at the Oakland Museum also this January.

“Talk about multiple entry and exposure points,” said Innovent CEO Antonio Kaplan. “We’ve always been developing transmedia strategies with the Question Bridge team on enriching the project’s outreach platforms - via online presence, mobile app, art installations, street teams, and as an educational curriculum. What a better way to kick off the transmedia campaign then at the Sundance film festival.”

The New Frontier Story Lab is founded on the Sundance Institute Lab model, which offers intensive, residential retreat focused on creative support. These include daily keynotes, case-studies, group sessions, and the scenic, invigorating mountainous outdoors of Sundance Resort in Utah.

“It was really amazing to be in the room with such legends of storytelling and masters of technology all figuring out how to tell a compelling story or create spaces for compelling stories to manifest in a transmedia world,” said Kamal Sinclair, collaborator and media lead for Question Bridge. “This must have been what it was like to be one of the early filmmakers experimenting with how to tell a story through ‘moving pictures,’ only we are dealing with smart phones, tablets, computers, interactive objects of all kinds and our audience isn’t sitting still in a theatre, they are constantly moving through multiple environments in real time. It is exciting to be part of a paradigm shift.”

Creative Advisors for the New Frontier Story Lab includes, among many others, Michael Goldenberg (Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Contact), Richard Lagravenese (The Fisher King, Water for Elephants), Aaron Koblin (Johnny Cash Project, Google Data Arts Team), Wesley Strick (Cape Fear), David Gale (MTVX), Takaaki Okada (Condition ONE), Susan Bonds (42 Entertainment), Nick Fortugno (Playmatics), Laura Poitras (My Country, My Country), Noland Walker (Citizen King), and Lance Weiler (Pandemic, The WorkBook Project).

“We’ve been completely inspired by the Sundance Lab and mentors,” said Kamal. “Nick Fortugo gave a brilliant presentation on storytelling in gaming. Susan Bonds is a guru of Alternate Reality games. Lance Weiler walked us through his massive thoughts on transmedia. We’d shout paragraphs on Twitter if we could. There’s so little space to convey all that warmth and gratitude.”

Innovent’s co-founders have now partnered in several of Sundance’s transmedia firsts. Pandemic 1.0 (Sundance January 2011 selection), market the first time the lab supported a feature film / transmedia project. As for another first, Question Bridge took part in the first ever New Frontier Story Lab in Utah and will now set a precedent in cross-nation dialogue via art installations.

Six artist teams and projects were chosen for the 2011 Sundance New Frontier Story Labs - “Follow Back,” “Kill Shakespeare,” “The Last Hijack,” “Rome,” “Question Bridge: Black Males,” and “18 Days in Egypt.” The last two have partnered with Innovent in pulling out a transmedia engagement plan - from sketches to actual implementations.

“18 Days in Egypt” is a collaborative, crowd-sourced interactive documentary and worked with Innovent to design an interactive web portal that covers the last 18 days of the Egyptian Revolution. The project features thousands of videos, photos, emails, tweets supplied by eye witnesses and participants. 18 Days is also a recipient of the first-ever Tribeca Film Institute New Media Fund, having been awarded a 100,000 USD grant.

“We’re happy to work with such innovative teams,” said Innovent CCO Elise Baugh. “We seem to be drawn to projects that vehemently push the envelope. They dream up the twistedly engaging and the poignantly arresting.”

“Question Bridge: Black Males” and “18 Days in Egypt” question the fabric of the status quo using new media alternatives, and in the process unweave them. Innovent is a transmedia company that takes on projects that aim for social change.

‘Strange Days and Other Anomalies’ at Light and Space Contemporary Ramon Raphael Banzon, Miggy Borja, Raffy La Madrid, Paul Bryan Miranda, and Mek Yambao come together in their first ever group exhibition as an official art group “Strange Days”, which opens on Sunday 6PM, November 13 at the Gallery 3 of Light and Space Contemporary. In their show titled “Strange Days and Other Anomalies”, the group discovers unchartered terrain played out in unusual settings and circumstances. Through observation or pure imagination, strange encounters are conceived, which leads the mind to question its very own boundaries and re-examine what one considers “Strange”.  The exhibit simultaneously opens with solo exhibitions of Kaloy Olavides and Beejay Esber at the Galleries 1 and 2. All shows will run until November 28. Light and Space Contemporary is located at 53 Fairlane st. West Fairview, 1118 Quezon City, Philippines.

Kalaher Fine Art has invited celebrated New York artists, Andrew Hart Adler and Carolyn Beegan to exhibit their collaborative works in the Southampton gallery over the holiday season.  The artists have created a true artistic “montage,” melding a collage of digital photographs and abstract expressionist painting into a cohesive, contemporary whole.   For those of you who can’t get enough of the Abstract Expressionists despite the monumental ABEX Show earlier this year and the current de Kooning retrospective at the MOMA, you will appreciate this duo’s work.  The Adler/Beegan combined works reflect consistent Abstract Expressionist themes, while at the same time interpreting them through a 21st century lens.  “True art collectors will immediately embrace these works not only because they represent a novel approach to Abstract Expressionism, but because they actively tease you between figure and abstraction and they have such vivid color and emotion,” says Arthur Kalaher, owner of the gallery.  “Both of them are important artists on their own, so when they come together collaboratively they create artistic synergy.  These pieces have such deep emotional impact and precise technique.”   Andrew Hart Adler was mentored by Willem de Kooning, one of the most important Abstract Expressionist artists of the 20th century.  His solo paintings grace the esteemed collections of the Center Georges Pompidou, Paris’ famous center for modern and contemporary art, the Parrish Art Museum in Southampton NY, the Nasher Museum at Duke University NC, among many others.  He has exhibited in many prestigious galleries around the world throughout his artistic career.       Carolyn Beegan is also a well-known painter and former flame of celebrity Billy Joel.  She considers herself “self-taught,” because her formal education is in computer science, which has actually become key in her collaboration with Adler as her manipulated digital images become the “primed” canvas from which Adler paints.  Her solo paintings are part of numerous well-respected private collections including:  rarified art collector/dealer Larry Gagosian, business magnate Ron Perelman, and celebrity entertainer Elton John, among many others.        “They have developed a unique creative process that melds complex digital photographic manipulation and physical hand-paint work in an iterative, repetitive sequence,” Arthur Kalaher describes.  “It is very original!”  Their work is relevant in the 21st century because it reflects the continued infusion of technology and digital media into our every day lives to the point where the lines between it and physical reality are blurred, just as in their pieces.  “Once you know how they created their works, you see the works in a completely new light, which makes them even more stimulating and inspiring,” explains Mr. Kalaher.   This is definitely one of the must-see exhibitions of the holiday season, especially if you are interested in seeing how 21st century art is evolving and coming into its own.     Please feel free to call or e-mail the gallery owner, Arthur T. Kalaher, if you need any further information or have questions.  Please contact by e-mail if this release is used for print, online, or any other form of press publication.

Arthur T. Kalaher Fine Art has invited celebrated New York artists, Andrew Hart Adler and Carolyn Beegan to exhibit their collaborative works in the Southampton gallery over the holiday season.  The artists have created a true artistic “montage,” melding a collage of digital photographs and abstract expressionist painting into a cohesive, contemporary whole.

 

For those of you who can’t get enough of the Abstract Expressionists despite the monumental ABEX Show earlier this year and the current de Kooning retrospective at the MOMA, you will appreciate this duo’s work.  The Adler/Beegan combined works reflect consistent Abstract Expressionist themes, while at the same time interpreting them through a 21st century lens.  “True art collectors will immediately embrace these works not only because they represent a novel approach to Abstract Expressionism, but because they actively tease you between figure and abstraction and they have such vivid color and emotion,” says Arthur Kalaher, owner of the gallery.  “Both of them are important artists on their own, so when they come together collaboratively they create artistic synergy.  These pieces have such deep emotional impact and precise technique.”

 

Andrew Hart Adler was mentored by Willem de Kooning, one of the most important Abstract Expressionist artists of the 20th century.  His solo paintings grace the esteemed collections of the Center Georges Pompidou, Paris’ famous center for modern and contemporary art, the Parrish Art Museum in Southampton NY, the Nasher Museum at Duke University NC, among many others.  He has exhibited in many prestigious galleries around the world throughout his artistic career.    

 

Carolyn Beegan is also a well-known painter and former flame of celebrity Billy Joel.  She considers herself “self-taught,” because her formal education is in computer science, which has actually become key in her collaboration with Adler as her manipulated digital images become the “primed” canvas from which Adler paints.  Her solo paintings are part of numerous well-respected private collections including:  rarified art collector/dealer Larry Gagosian, business magnate Ron Perelman, and celebrity entertainer Elton John, among many others.

Leanne Eisen: Scan November 1st –16th, 2011Opening Reception: Friday November 4th, 6-10pmPikto Gallery, 55 Mill Street, 59-103 Toronto. Scan, at Pikto Gallery marks Leanne Eisen’s first solo exhibition and foray into new media installation, with her new piece while (true). while (true), consisting of a scanner, a computer monitor and an flat screen television, will create a real-time animation that will be left running the duration of the two week long exhibition from November 1st -16th. With each progressive scan, the computer monitor will be updated, then re-scanned, creating a feedback loop. The television will play an animated loop created from the scanned frames. The animation will be updated in real-time as the loop repeats. The exhibition will also include Eisen’s series Scan, a series “exploring the aesthetic effects of movement and reflection in a digital technology that renders the material into data. The resulting works resemble ethereal landscapes, floating apparitions or maybe distant galaxies, however the pieces are more than merely finding shapes in the clouds, there is the presence of sheer volumes of space and distance, and the photographic feeling of capturing the image of something living and breathing. The images stimulate more questions than answers, with the viewer unable to come to any concrete conclusions about the works, leaving them in a sublime limbo.” (Zachary Eastwood-Bloom) Contribute to this project on Rockethub.
