The 2-Day Installation on the collaborative piece, Spark, will begin next week out at the Pickathon Music Festival in Happy Valley, Oregon. The support team is comprised of artists Terry Holloway and Cari Ingrassia, with the assistance of Meghan Horne-Brine and Jen Hagerman.

Tuesday

The crew will begin early in the morning on Tuesday installing the suspension rig with the goal of hanging all 5 LED lighting grids, as well as installing all 120 custom built LED lights. The day will conclude with an electrical test to access battery efficiency and note any changes to be made the next day.

Wednesday

Wednesday is reserved for attaching the “creative” pouches delicately around the LED lights.  Workers will also be tasked with making any necessary adjustments that were noticed the night before. Once the pouches are in place, installation continues to the wiring and networking of all sensors and lights. Once everything is wired correctly, batteries will be installed and the whole installation will then be tested throughout the night to ensure all tech is running safely and properly.

Stay tuned here for more documentation during the installation process.

MEET THE ARTIST COLLECTIVE: Earthbound Moon (EbM) is terraforming planet Earth, that is, making it more hospitable to life. They are a bit player in a massive movement of humanists engaged in this activity for the past two generations. EbM perform utilizes artistic intervention with the dominant environment altering species, humankind. Their interventions are intended to alter humanity’s perception of their world, and their definition of “natural resource”. EbM uses art to pursue this goal for multiple reasons: 1) Art may make absurd claims and pronouncements without creating defensiveness the way other forms of activism sometimes do; 2) Art is not seen as “serious” and is often a peaceful way to engage in difficult conversations; 3) Art can last many generations, increasing in influence over time; 4) They are artists. earthboundmoon.com #earthboundmoon #terraformingplanetearth #terraforming #artcityeugene #artcity #studiowithoutwalls #eugfun #eugeneoregon #eugeneartist #eugenejuly202018 #eugeneculturalservices

“Light Up the Night” is supported by ArtCity Eugene, the Lane Arts Council, and City of Eugene Cultural Services, and will present a “showcase of multidisciplinary artists that use light and/or film to create artistic expression in the darkness of nightfall”.  It will be the 7:00 stop on the Lane Art Council’s First Friday Art Walk, guest hosted by KLCC’s Eric Alan.
