a collision of public art, live music and film

Rather last-minutely, and just to keep the peoples filled with delight, illCorr is rustling up some public art, film and live music at some interstitial spot during the East Bay Express’  annual party. We do this not because we’ve abandoned site-specific work (we haven’t, patience, thanks), but because we read our names in the East Bay Express ad and thought, o!

How hard would that be?

August 6. Dark o’clock. Jack London Square.
If you’re not subscribed to the illCorr announcement list, please jump on. I imagine we’ll have to establish a twitter account to let you know our location at the very last minute, and the notion is making us lie down for a little bit. In the meantime, hashtag #illcorr for the conversation about how this throws down.

Big love to Terry Furry, who continues to cultivate a strong connection to Oakland arts in the work of the Express.

The Public Works Department of the Illuminated Corridor is assisting East Bay Bicycle Coalition with a string of bike-in movies (dates below).

This may be good moment to collect experimental work in film and video that looks at human-powered locomotion.

Have something? Please send an url or description with your contact information to proposals at illuminatedcorridor dot com.

First Round Deadline for submissions: April 16

No fee to submit. We’ll never screen without your permission. We’re putting the touch on some folks to support screening honoraria, stay tuned.

Work on future Corridors is looming, but chances to work with good people are right in front of us:

[very briefly outside the victoria theater :: feb 20 and 21 :: details]
San Francisco Cinematheque is kicking off its spring season with Apparent Motion, a two-day celebration of the art of live image projection: the cinematic exhibition apparatus exposed as a primal light and sound machine, an invention without a future, ripe for rediscovery. That’s Steve Polta’s text by zee vay.

IllCorr is co-presenting because it gives our audiences a chance to see many illCorr artists inside, which we will never do for you, but happily the fine people at SFCinematheque will. Good chance to see the Cinepimps with enough circuit (well, maybe) and east-coast collaborators Sandra Gibson & Luis Recoder and many more. Totally reasonably priced and a great snapshot of the live cinema genre, so go, and queue up early to see what Killer Banshee and Wolfram Projections do with that absorbing red brick facade.

[then roaming around art murmur :: mar 5 :: details]
Art IS Education is celebrating its tenth year with a month of community events. illCorr Extended will be leading artwalks between the three Art Murmur venues presenting the work of youth that night, half parade, half crossing guard, hopefully with some good results on moving facade illumination. Just look for the bikes showing movies between Rock Paper Scissors, Creative Growth and 21 Grand.
