David Eckard: Anxious Murmur

I’ve posted a version of “Prestidigitation-A Folly In Eleven Acts” on Sevenload.

It’s a low-res version and it breaks my heart to see it so scrappy after the big camera purchase but it’s a good way to share it and hopefully receive some constructive feedback. The real deal will be in all of its pore defining, grey hair accenting high-def glory! I hope it won’t sputter and snag along like it does on my ancient (four year old) iBook.

If it does, wait for it to completely load and then proceed. 

A second supporting video, large format stills, a series of bottle dioramas (stay tuned for images) and wall drawings integrated with planar set fragments will complete the exhibition “David Eckard-Sleight of Hand”.

It will premier at The Atelier Dado of the National Museum of Montenegro in Cetinje on May 16^th and then travel to CIAC here in Pont-Aven in June.

A portion of the exhibition will be in “Call and Response” at The Museum of Contemporary Craft, in Portland, opening on June 18^th.

My cohort and friend Anne-Julie Raccoursier,  who is currently teaching here at Pont-Aven, has already given me some great advice on rethinking the repetitiveness of the background music and re-editing it to be more chapter/illusion duration specific.

I couldn’t agree more.

That is one of the things that continues to poke me in the side as I view it.

I hope to tweak and fiddle around with it a bit more this weekend. Enough time has passed and I’m able to look at the piece a bit more objectively and really fine-tune it.

I look forward to your feedback!
