Barks and Squeals Opens @ 6pm on June 3rd

Barks and Squeals, a collection of dreams and fears at the edge of the untamed, explores both the human desire to connect with the natural world and mankind’s physical inability to do so without mediation. Celina Dezzuto’s paintings depict manifestations of beauty and horror when nature enters dreams. Chris Cameron shares video works of spectral bodies performing miniature dances behind backyard fences. Sculptural works by Ashley Ivey and Bill Rice present idealized visions of cast off debris and nuisance creatures and look respectively at ideas of comfort and shelter.  For more information call 850-224-6163, join 621 Gallery on Facebook, twitter, and visit 621gallery.org.

March 4th-27th, 2011

Shell, a new work to be created for 621 Gallery by The Bridge Club collaborative, will investigate the boundaries between physical and psychological space as well as between performer and spectator, past and present, and art and daily life.  This work, combining installation, video, and live performance, will feature a fabricated room that doubles as an installation and performance space, with a video sequence projected onto the room’s exterior.  The viewer will encounter a richly layered assemblage of the physical and the ephemeral, all the while becoming further implicated in the work via his or her shadow and its interaction with the performers and physical space.
