Jeff Shore and Jon Fisher: Reel to Reel

So, I saw this exhibit on the website of the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art in downtown KC. I was hyped, so I google mapped the mother fucker, got set, head right and rolled to KC on Saturday. This Museum is in like 4 buildings spread all over town, and I went to the wrong one.

But it still looked cool to post. Installation art and wires and records.

The blurb from http://www.kemperart.org/exhibits/Reeltoreel_2008.asp

"Fashioned from wood, wires, lights, motors, and automated video and audio components, Reel to Reel is a sculptural video installation by Texas-based artists Jeff Shore and Jon Fisher. Working collaboratively since 2002, Shore and Fisher have constructed a complex network of floor- and wall-based kinetic sculptures, each containing a mechanized film set or an electro-acoustic instrument. Once activated, Reel to Reel delivers a multisensory experience that is both poetic and captivating, advancing dialogues between the history of cinema and music, and human interaction with new technologies. The exhibition is co-organized by the Kemper Museum and the Weatherspoon Art Museum, Greensboro, North Carolina.
