Our Field Trip to Free Enterprise

Last week we were fortunate enough to meet with Tyler Stallings, curator of the newly opened Free Enterprise exhibit at UCR artsblock for a private no hassles tour. Three dedicated years to actualize the vision of this exhibit certainly paid off. We'll let the pictures do most of the talking:

Giovanni strikes a pose near the first microgravity "art studio" or in Frank Pietronigro's words it is the “'Tabernacle' to signify the 'creativity chamber' and to site 'its basis in ritual.' "

Zero Gravity dancing...videos capturing experimental choreography of Kitsou Dubois and Co. For your viewing pleasure, on Youtube, a quick search of "Kitsou Dubois" should do the trick.
