We’re taking a break in March, but we’ll be live again in April. Check back soon for details on the show…

Exquisite Corpse: a selection of words or images, collectively assembled.

During the early part of the last century, Surrealist artists used this concept as the basis for a parlor game by which one person would draw on paper, fold it to conceal part of the drawing and pass it to the next player who would continue the drawing using only the part that was exposed.

Unlike the Surrealists, the video artists in this series did not collaborate on our show, but through curation, we have attempted to find design elements or key concepts that connect the artworks in unexpected and amusing ways. Make sure you’re there to follow this very bizarre train of thought!

"La Verdad" by Juan Delcan

‘Tis the season for fright!

This first Friday, the Great Wall of Oakland presents “Fright Night”, a curated selection of dark and creepy videos that are sure to delight your dark-side.

The videos explore ‘fear’ from a variety of perspectives – from the cultural influences of modern cinema to the purely visual elicitation of shock, all the way to a scientific exploration of fear by delving into things – spiders, deep waters, and the unknown – that generally scare us all.

While this show is sure to spook, it is appropriate for the whole family. Bring a chair or a blanket and be prepared to jump!

In preparation for the 20th Anniversary aerial dance show - Bound(less) by Project Bandaloop – premiering on the Great Wall (Sept. 15-17), the Great Wall brings “Off the Ground” a curated video show about the many ways in which humans literally take flight.

From airplanes to shuttles to birds to humans doing incredible stunts, this is a breathtaking show that takes place largely up in the air.

Don’t miss this show or the premiere of Bound(less) later in the month. Both shows are FREE and open to the public!

Internationally-recognized aerial dance troupe, Project Bandaloop, has chosen the Great Wall as the site to celebrate their 20th anniversary and present the world premiere of “Bound(less)”, a breath-taking feat of aerial performance.

We will shut down the streets for this celebration of dance, live music by Dana Leong and of course, stunning video projections. “Doors” open at 6:30PM and the hour-long show begins at 8:30PM.

Bring a mat or lawn chair for best viewing or check out some of the limited seating on Brown Paper Tickets. Whatever you do, do not miss this spectacular free event of art and fun for the whole family!

From computer-generated art to hand-drawn motion graphics, this next show will be a celebration of all things animation. But, if you’re expecting to see your everyday cartoons, you’ll be sorely dissapointed or maybe blown-away.

Don’t miss this opportunity to see the latest in animation!

Also, if you happen to be in Uptown during the day, you might catch Project Bandaloop rehearsing on the Wall!
