ARTS ON EXHIBIT: THE 13TH HOUR
The Post and Courier - Charleston, S.C.
Date: May 22, 2003
Picture the Rolling Stones cruising into Altamont, San Francisco, in 1970, the group's limos flanked by throngs of muscle-bound, leather-clad, overly protective bikers.Now fast forward to this Saturday evening at 39 Broad St. A similar scene will take place when the artists of "The 13th Hour" art show will pull up to the curb in similar style. Expect the arrival of a 1966 Cadillac convertible and a 1968 Imperial convertible, from which the artists for this year's show will emerge with an air of celebrity mystique and superiority. (No autographs, please!) The cars will be led by 20 bikers, and there will be camera crews on Broad Street at 6 p.m. Saturday to film the entourage.Once inside, those lucky enough to be on the exclusive "guest list" (the event is free and open to the public) will get a look at new works from painter Kevin Harrison and photographer Julia Lynn. Five of the show's artists: David Carson, Kevin Taylor, Charles Ailstock, John Duckworth and Harrison were locked into separate rooms, provided with supplies and told to paint from 11 a.m. to midnight. That's 13 hours, get it? They were filmed in the process. The results of the artists' efforts, and film footage of this creative, torture chamber-style lock-in, also will be on display.Among the crowd of beautiful and locally famous people, look for multimedia artwork, including artist interviews, time lapse, split- screen imagery, lots of great music and even a little wine.The event is at 39 Broad St. and starts at 6 p.m. For more information, e-mail Harrison at kandcharrison@comcast.net.
