The extremely underrated Greg Shakar will have a (I think his first) solo exhibition opening at the new Greylock Arts gallery in Massachusetts – an endeavor by the wonderful and wondrous Marianne Petit and her partner Matthew Belanger. The former was my supervisor when I was at ITP; she is a total star many times over, and you should watch any and every thing she ever does.
Greg is a very smart, technically clued-up and thoughtful artist. I’m sure it’s gonna be a great show. The re-blog:
Greylock Arts is pleased to announce its first exhibit with Gregory Shakar’s MoodVectors.
Gregory Shakar creates interactive audio sculptures and immersive environments. As an artist and musician he is devoted to the creation of emotive and expressive electronic art. Viewers participating in his interactive installations encounter melodic bolts of lightning, giant sonorous metronomes, and enormous undulating pixels. His performance work includes audience participatory symphonies performed on hundreds of mobile phones and music for quasi-harmonic audio-visual environments.
Shakar’s work has been exhibited internationally including at Ars Electronica (Linz, Austria), Digital Arts Festival (Tokyo, Japan), Nagoya City Museum of Art (Nagoya, Japan), Sonar Festival (Barcelona, Spain), the London Institute for Contemporary Art (London, UK), the Smithsonian Museum of American History (Washington, D.C), Lincoln Center’s Avery Fisher Hall (New York) and The Kitchen (New York).
