Rocking Participatory Art Project on Brown’s Island this Weekend
We can’t be together but we can be Together Apart.
Covid-19 has put on hold many of the activities we all love. High on my personal list is the Richmond Folk Festival that should have kicked off tonight. To fill the gap of live in-person music there are a ton of online musical acts, past and present, to check out, starting Friday night with Dr. Michael White & the Original Liberty Jazz Band (traditional New Orleans jazz) 2012 . (See Full Schedule)
Artist Kevin Orlosky has developed an interactive art exhibit that will allow anyone to participate.
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic we have all been forced to give up the majority of our social lives. The physical separation of social distancing can easily make us feel disconnected from each other. The goal of Together Apart is to illustrate our similarities as well as the unique ways we are dealing with this pandemic and communicate the ways we can still connect together while we are apart from each other.
Kevin found human touch to be what he yearned for most while isolated, and quickly came to see how a handshake, a hug, or even a high five makes a tremendous impact on overall happiness. He will be using the imagery of a hand for this interactive community sculpture. What is something you miss, or yearn for during this period of social distancing?
How to Participate
The artwork will manifest as a massive stone labyrinth that when viewed from above makes a hand. Become a part of the sculpture by painting a rock at home that represents something you miss, mourn, or are excited to experience again after the period of social isolation ends. Bring your rock to Brown’s Island and place your rock on the black fabric inside the contours of the rock perimeter. Images of the daily progress will be shared on Kevin Orlosky’s Facebook and Instagram feeds. The installation will end on October 16th.Follow daily updates for Together Apart
