Next Up: Exquisite Corpse (Fri. January 6th, 2012)

January 6, 2012
6:00 pmto11:00 pm

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.

"S Bahn" by Zeitbezogene Medien HAW Hamburg

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!

Up Next: “Fright Night” (Friday, Oct. 7, 2011)

October 7, 2011

‘Tis the season for fright!

"Neomorphus" by Animatorio

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!
