Wanna go to a DC art event tonight?

The WPA\C’s Experimental Media Series - ColorField.remix, Night #3, challenged artists to create experimental video, sound and performance pieces reinterpreting or inspired by Color-Field artists. Jurors, Richard Chartier and Brandon Morse, awarded the $1000 Kraft Media Prize to Erika Suderburg and Linda Besemer, and the $500 Honorable Mention to Alan Callander, based on the overall quality and innovation of the work, as it relates to Color-Field influences.

Tonight, from 7-9PM at The Armand Hammer Auditorium in the Corcoran, and free and open to the public, you can view the work created by Christina Battle, Gregg Biermann, Alan Callander, Rebecca Carter, John Davis, Eric Fleischauer, Kerry Laitala, Oliver Lyons, Tony Myatt, Kamran Sadeghi, Semiconductor, Erika Suderburg and Linda Besemer, Champneys Taylor and TeZ.
