These time-lapse videos worked great on the giant screen at the Grand Opening Festival. Here’s the last of the trio, featuring Ogromna, by artist Ursula von Rydingsvard. (See also the installation photos.)

Thanks again to David Mueller for the soundtrack (from the Heads on Sticks EP, Oak City Version.)

Installing Congregation

Chad — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 16:19:42 +0000

It’s time-lapse time once again. This one documents the installation of Congregation in the new African gallery. Artist Ledelle Moe builds the “congregation” one concrete head at a time, all the while talking with onlookers, engaging curators, and bantering with conservators. Natural light also plays a starring role. (Check out the installation photos.)

Special thanks to David Mueller, who kindly gave permission to use a track from the Heads on Sticks EP, Oak City Version. (Hat tip, New Raleigh.)

Note: That the name of the band fits the subject matter perfectly is just lovely serendipity.

(Here’s a direct link to the video.)

Installing Askew

Chad — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 18:31:07 +0000

Seeing our very own dendroid grow alongside the new building last September was mesmerizing. Time-lapse was an interesting way to capture it: clouds speed pass, moody darkness comes and goes, huge cranes look nimble, artists, curators and onlookers scurry about. Over the course of four days we set out still cameras all around the site: one on the roof, one on the hillside, one in the courtyard. Thousands of photos were crunched into one HD movie. Enjoy! (p.s. Stay tuned for more video next week.)
