Looking for
something to do this Halloween? Be a part of the art! The igNIGHT Festival is
looking for 5
or 6 people who would like to volunteer for the performative aspect of igNIGHT’s The Unkindness by Kasie Campbell. The
Unkindness features a raven, a local foul who encompasses many affects; a
chariot of the soul; a symbol of hope; a model of resilience; an infamous
trickster; and a mediator of life and death. Throughout time, the raven is
depicted by many cultures and portrayed within their mythologies, legends and
folklore. The Unkindness (formerly “Untitled”) is a piece inspired
by the revered avian creature.
Conceptualized by
Kasie Campbell and executed with the assistance of the students of Keyano’s Art
& Design program, their collaborative efforts bring the notorious raven to
life through a myriad of materials, lighting and performance art. A piece that
pushes the creative boundaries of all parties including: the artist, the
students and the observers, The Unkindness is a piece that
will pervade the mind and, like the raven, stamp its repute.
