"re:myth" Art Exhibit Opening

"re:myth" is a ground-breaking collaboration between writers of the BlackTop MotorCycle Gang and the Emerge artists collective wherein the writers were tasked to write a short piece on new mythologies for the 21st Century, and the artists were (anonymously) given one or two of the writings to interpret as visual art.  The artists had no opportunity to interview the authors or even to know anything about them except what was communicated on the page.

The exhibit of the results (artwork and writing installed side by side) opened Sept 2, 2010 and was accompanied by readings by some of the authors (myself included).  This was the first time that the authors and artists had met, and the authors saw the artwork for the first time at the same time as the general public.  The response was amazing and I was overwhelmed by the vision of the artists who had interpreted my two stories.  All in all a great evening and one of the best art openings I have ever attended!

The exhibit continues until Sept 17, 2010 at Gallery ConneXion, and an anthology
of the stories is available from Broken Jaw Press.
