so last thurs. instead of correcting all the midterms i have/am correcting now, i went to the inaugural shindig over at Ditch Projects in Springfield,OR (industrial zone + strip clubs).
Firstly: it's in like a barn or something or a warehouse. And the ppl that got it all going made a beautiful bunch of white walls fitting of any artspace. To properly view said walls, they had a showing of the 60 Second Southern Video Festival. Consisted of a bunch o' short videos ranging from geese flying against the wind, a man with a banana in his trousers, digital curmudgeonry to a weird little movie dealing with teenage relationships and zombie/vampirism. Gone in 60 seconds. well, the whole thing wasn't 60 secs, it was like an hour. and it was kind of cold. but i suffer for my art! and there were tallbs of busch. overall: good things are going to happen with these folks.
also if you're not convinced: they (all the MFAs from UO that were there [yes, i felt a lil awk being the MArthistory pompous outcast there, but i'm used to it by now]) played a game properly titled "Stump" in which you flip the hammer and then pound a nail in a stump. someone's going to put an eye out here.
if you're around UO/EugOR, keep yer eyez openz. apparently there's going to be more video art, some "weird" music, performances maybe and also some traditional put me on the wall with a nail and wax poetic art shows.
