 HARVEST OF THE CEPHALOPIBy DRAMA DEPARTMENT (Stillwater, OK) OPENING: MAR 2, 5-7PM, LIVING ARTS CORNER INSTALLATION GALLERY No Charge EXPLORGASM is the result of years of friendship, collaboration and is an ongoing body of work that brings together a multitude of disciplines and is expressed through a variety of media. The mythology and themes of EXPLORGASM have been explored in print, music, performance, acrylics, watercolor, and digital formats. This is the first instance in which it has been experienced as an installation. The intention of this installation is for the viewer to have an opportunity to observe the intricacy of the physical objects that have been created for the live performances. These objects are typically viewed from a distance in brief and sometimes frantic moments. This installation encapsulates the mythology and themes of EXPLORGASM in a three-dimensional still image. Witnessed within this image is the hierarchy and ceremony of the peoples of EXPLORGASM’s mythology. The Cephalopi are intergalactic group of gangsters with a strangle hold over much of the galaxy’s resources. Using politics, religion, and war, these cruel beings force others into submission by any means necessary. They have created a caste system that ensures insubordination by offering power to a select few willing to do their bidding. Second only to the Cephalopi are the monastic Simiates. Simiates are the figureheads of the planets under the control of the Cephalopi. The Simiates rule the people of the planets they are assigned to and demand the people revere the Cephalopi. Species such as the Deerpeople are unfortunate enough to exploited by the Cephalopi and Simiates. It is an ongoing struggle for the people of the galaxy to achieve agency. It is a struggle often met with failure. This failure, however, is merely an unfortunate byproduct of learning to truly live. The Drama Department is: Nokosee Fields, Michol Miller, Todd Robinson and Megan Mitchell. Exhibit continues through Mar 24 and will be lit from sundown to 1am each night of the installation’s duration. Sponsored by Club 209 |
