Artist Residency at A Project Space: Opening Reception Tonight!

March 9 2013

Tonight is the opening of my new video work at a project space in Sodo. It has been an amazing week of installing and I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to continue working in the space all month!

Litany
is a multi video projection piece that has been described as "like being inside a fog-filled cocoon."

I will be doing studio visits by appointment throughout the month of March, so if you're interested in visiting, drop me a line!

At the end of the residency, there will be a series of musical performances by my collaborator, Jeremiah Cawley, which will be reservation strongly encouraged (space is limited!) Check back for upcoming details here and here.

Here's a sneak peek with some installation snapshots:

And a new project at Sally Schuh's a project space opens on Sat. March 9th from 6-8pm. 

Here's some info. from the Press Release about the work at a project space:

"In March a project space welcomes Erin Elyse Burns for a month-long residency. Burns will develop immersive video which will explore mental imagery inspired by composer John Cage’s 1980 piece entitled “Litany for the Whale.” The Cage piece is a vocal work for two voices with a call and response structure reminiscent of religious chants. The video Burns will create is designed to complement the sound through a series of vignettes, which build upon each other. In collaboration with London and Seattle-based musician, Jeremiah Cawley, the residency will include live musical performances on Wednesday, April 3rd and at the closing reception on Friday, April 5th."

I hope to see you often this Spring!
