Mapping a Site: In and Out of Context

Ringling College sponsors International Student Art Project

Ringling College of Art and Design is hosting students and faculty from Aalto University in Finland, Sint Lucas College of Art and Design and the Royal Academy in Antwerp, Belgium from November 1-November 10th.

The project is called “Mapping a Site: In and Out of Context” and includes faculty and students from multiple artistic disciplines including photography, fine art, motion design and graphic design. The goal of the project is to provide students the opportunity to work collectively outside of the classroom analyzing a pre-determined site from multiple cultural and artistic perspectives. This year’s site is Spanish Point. The results of the student’s collective and individual responses to the site will be on view at Two Columns in downtown Sarasota at 1947 Ringling Blvd. on Saturday, November 9th from 5-8PM. All are welcome.

The Ringling College faculty and students who are participating in the project will be travelling to Antwerp, Belgium in March to “map’  sites in that city for part two of the experience.

Pareidolia

Two Columns presents Pareidolia, a show by Studio MANA Experimental Film Club. The performance involves experimental music and live projection techniques that are threaded by the idea of finding where new and old technologies meet. The theme is homologous to its name, Pareidolia, which is a psychological phenomenon involving a vague and random stimulus (often an image or sound) being perceived as significant. MANA is formed by Ringling students, alumni and artists from the community that are working towards generating a space for experimental filmmaking.

The gallery will be open at 8:00 pm on October 24th.  The performance will start at 8:30. The artifacts from the performance will be on display until November 1.

Participants:
