Stan Woodard is presenting a new work, entitled A second revisiting" during Eyedrum Art & Music Gallerys group exhibition Shelter" from January 29 - March 5th Shelter opens with an artists reception on Saturday January 29, at 9 pm. Eyedrum is located at 291 Martin Luther King Jr. Dr., SE in Atlanta, Georgia.
(PRWEB) February 2, 2005 -- The site specific, temporary outdoor work by Stan Woodard is comprised of materials mainly collected in the Eyedrum environs, as well as other found materials. Among the elements of A second revisiting" are remnants from Rui Sekidos performance Pregnant Stone" at Eyedrum in 2002; including bamboo that Woodard previously employed in a work that adorned the signature Eyedrum tower from 2003-04. Remnants of other events at Eyedrum are also included. At night lamps powered by solar energy will illuminate the piece. A video component within the gallery space documents the scene outside Eyedrum, the previous resting place of the main elements.
While continuing discussions on histories of places and commoditized objects, the intent of this piece is to install a sort of shrine that refers to the ritual place that was created when Rui performed in the Eyedrum parking lot. Through his use of the bamboo and rope, he initially aestheticized them, maybe even blessed them. My use and reuse of those things extends their life spans as aestheticized objects. The use of solar energy to light it is a bonus that adds the element of it being directly connected to the source that allows all of us to even be here. Id like to thank Peter Bahouth for lending me his solar setup and Duane Georges for help with the installation." Stan Woodard
