Online event- Art 365 Artist Talk: Crystal Z Campbell

This one-hour, virtual artist talk with Crystal Z Campbell is part of programming for OVAC ART 365!

“In the Art 365 project, Hi, Hi, Hi, Highway, I am working with this section of the highway that splits Greenwood, activated by performers who are working upon it. These performers play the highway like a song, activating the space with sonic graffiti, extracting sound from a site of a site of architectural violence that has noise pollution, as one of its perks. We have used debris from dead auto bodies to punctuate time, to ask the highway how it came to be here, and how it is an unintended monument of Black dispossession. The performance videos are spliced with archival footage, while banners mirror highway gestures, spatializing the exhibition.”

This talk will cover legacies of architectural violence, specifically the highway, in conjunction with new artworks currently on exhibit ARTSPACE At Untitled (OKC, OK) through September 18th! Co-presented by Archive Acts & Oklahoma Visual Arts Coalition.
