Thank you ArtNight Pasadena and The Armory Arts

Friday March 8th, 2013 was ArtNight in Pasadena, and I was lucky enough to collaborate with some incredibly talented people to put together a multimedia installation at the Armory Center for the Arts.

A huge thank you to Kathryn Roberts for her inspirational photography and her brilliant collaboration on the set design, also to Buddy Zapata (and Buddy Zapata's Junkshop Republic) for bringin it with  fully charged and engaging music that wove in and out through out the night bridging it all together.

I also need to thank my amazing son, Reid, whom although incredibly sick all week was full of love and support.

To all of you wonderful friends, current students, and those from years past, thank you for coming out in support. I also want to thank all the new friends I made and everyone who made their way through the space and spent some time with our installation.

My most sincere thanks also for Jon LaPointe and the Armory for helping make sure everything went so very smoothly. 
  
The space was filled with flat work, my drawings (I will add to the blog in a separate post) and Kat Roberts photography, and 30 feet of screen came alive with an animation I edited featuring the same drawings and photography merging in and out of each other. Kat and I hope to have more of these visual conversations in the near future, so stay posted. The amazing screens for the projections were fabricated to our specifications by my brother Aaron Gorecki @ http://www.mosquitocurtains.com.
The following are a few pictures of the setup  and finally those from the actual event.

ArtNight @ The Armory Art Center - Connections

ArtNight @ The Armory Art Center - Connections

6-10pm Friday March 8th, 2013

145 N Raymond Ave. Pasadena, California

 

 

You are invited to enter a multidisciplinary collaboration exploring connections through
live music, 30 ft of projections, photography, and drawings featuring the work of

Buddy Zapata’s Junkshop Republic (music)
Kat Roberts (photography)
and myself
Alicia Gorecki (drawings, large scale prints, and video animation)
The work focuses in on local architectural bridges and support structures through the eye of each local artist.

Bridge: a connecting, transitional, or intermediate route or phase between two adjacent elements, activities, conditions, or the like.

For those of you unfamiliar with ArtNight in Pasadena, it is an amazing night out.

Local museums, galleries, performing arts venues and other locations have work on view from fine art to performing arts and music, the variety of work and performers is incredibly diverse and suitable for audiences of all ages depending on the site.
It is all free and shuttles are available to take you from location to location, just make sure you stop by and connect with us at the Armory! (Did I mention there is also FREE BEER?)

Save the Date, ArtNight - at the Armory.

I have been busy!! Made it through the Holidays (with some much needed rest), nearly finished with the book I have been illustrating, and just got word that I have been invited to collaborate in a multimedia installation with the talented musician Buddy Zapata, and amazing photographer Kat Roberts, and myself.  We plan to take you on a journey with us from Pasadena to Los Angeles, home for all the included artists. More to come, but for now save the date! March 8 from 6-10pm inside the Armory Center for the Arts, Pasadena.
