Topic for September 28:
Special Exhibition Opportunity for Visual Artists –
Come learn how you can have work exhibited in The Northfield Experience
You asked for opportunities to grow as artists, and we listened!
This conversation will feature an upcoming exhibition opportunity for 2D Visual Artists in The Northfield Experience. Veteran Director/Choreographer/Media Artist Stephan Koplowitz will create a site-specific, immersive performance event in May 2018 using the town of Northfield, Minnesota as its canvas and subject matter. Comprised of a series of inter-laced performances of theater, dance, visual installations, and digital media, this performance event will be inspired by the history, architecture, and unique community of Northfield. Koplowitz is excited to work and collaborate with St. Olaf and Carleton Colleges and the greater Northfield community where the spirit of history, industry, and scholarship still thrive.
The Northfield Experience will engage students, alumni, professors and Curriculum from both colleges, in addition to members of specific Northfield institutions and businesses. It aims not only to create a unique artistic experience, but to bring together several academic and public communities united towards the development and creation of this work. An intended outcome is that all involved parties will be more closely aligned and acquainted following this shared collaboration.
Stephan Koplowitz is internationally known for his work on the concert stage and for creating original site-specific multi-media works for architecturally significant sites. His site work aims to alter people’s perspectives of place, site, and scale, all infused with a sense of the human condition. Since 1984 he has created 56 works and has been awarded 40 commissions.
During this conversation attendees are encouraged to ask Stephan questions, and find out how they can get involved in this exhibit.
