Getting on TV

Sometimes I encounter arts stories that are incredibly compelling, but difficult to describe in words. Hoo-ray for the blog.

My Weekly cover story this week focuses on Joanne Kelly, whose video artistry mixes up playful images of nature and TV and dancers whirling and jumping and flipping into cobra pose-esque yoga positions. But instead of describing it more, I'll just have you watch a clip of her work "Vertivision." Blog, baby.

In this version of "Vertivision," Joanne trained three cameras on a dancer and then just set the dancer free to romp all over and around a passel of three TVs. Here, you can hear Joanne describing her work as part of a TV segment about it.

(I've added screen shots at the beginning and end to avoid the dreaded blog black screen.)
