APAE: between art & life
Contact: Jeremiah D. Reeves, Artistic Director

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Contemporary Art Group Attempting Guinness World Record in Evansville
Event : The Radiator Game performance
Date: August 7 – 9, 2009
Time: Opening Reception – August 7, 6-8pm; performance runs through August 9
Location: J. E. Smith Gallery, 413 Main St, Evansville, IN 47708
Action Potential Arts Experiment (APAE) of Owensboro, KY and Evansville, IN has recently been approved to attempt to break a Guinness World Record (TM) for the "longest continual running theater performance." APAE is an artist run collective/collaborative which seeks to engage the local community with original, inspiring and thought provoking forms of contemporary art.
This attempt will be presented with the support of J.E. Smith Gallery, who will donate use of their facilities as temporary performance space, as well as The Jungle restaurant, which will partner to provide food for the project team.
The Radiator Game, as the play is titled, takes the form of a game where theater and reality are one, seeking to explore our relationship with time while presenting an image to the phrase "life is a game." The play, like a game, completes itself when all of the rules set out in the script have been played out to their final conclusion by the cast of characters.
The performance will begin on the evening of Friday, August 7 and run approximately through the evening of Sunday, August 9, with an opening reception to take place on Friday evening.
APAE would also like to make the community aware that they are still seeking creative, driven individuals to fill roles in the project – for immediate placement. Character, tech and film crew positions remain open as well as general support staff. Please contact actionpotentialarts@gmail.com for further information on the performance or to schedule an audition.

Yes, but the spooky thing is that the tornado supposedly touched down exactly at the intersection where we drew the Rocket Spiral (SR 405 and Wrights Landing Road). How creepy is that? Maybe we need to perform another ritual to release that energy? Please explain that one to me.
ReplyDeleteSpooky indeed. After the tornado warning, I thought how this was so much like the day of the Rocket Spiral, weather-wise. Then in today's M&I there is a front page photo of a big, beautiful, full-arc rainbow taken after the rain/sunshine yesterday, but before the tornado. Um, exactly like "our" Rocket Sprial rainbow (our photos were better though!) You know, a lot of folks joked about how we had poked the gods with our little ritual that day. As for going back out there again? Uh-uh, brother! I'm not sayin' we have that kind of power, but... well, I'm just not sayin.
