December 4 - 9, 2007


Lawrimore Project (Seattle) will include performances, architectural interventions, social constructions, fashion shows, inflatables, a Gravitron, video-based work, light-based work, and omelettes.



Architectural Interventions - the booth will be located in the loading dock area of the warehouse, in which Lawrimore Project artists will be playing up ideas of this particular context. Recent Rome Prize recipients, Lead Pencil Studio will present the slightest trace of a shipping container with their welded wire sculpture, Four Corners. In one of the three, large roll-up doors, an inflatable doorway by Alex Schweder will cyclically provide and prevent access to the space. A similar inflatable by Schweder was recently acquired by the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art for its permanent collection.



Performances and Fashion - Collaborative trio, SuttonBeresCuller will be debuting their -pPod- (Performance Pod) in Miami. This interactive, mobile sculpture cum stage, cum karaoke machine will traverse the city engaging audiences and supplying a live video feed back into our space in Wynwood. Young and about to explode onto the art world stage performance duo and current Etsy designers in residence, Mixon Dixon will periodically provide guerilla performances throughout the weekend on and off site as well as host periodic, guerilla fashion shows by Ruffeo Hearts Lil' Snotty and Empire Empire who will also be outfitting gallery owner Scott Lawrimore and all of his artists in Miami for the duration of the weekend.



Gravitron - Remember that county fair ride where the a large circular barrel spins, the floor drops out from under your feet and you're sucked up against the wall due to centrifugal force? Yep, we'll have one of those in our space. Created by installation and video artist, Sami Ben Larbi, his version is scaled down -- is inspired by a scene in Truffaut's 400 Blows -- and uses video as the projected subject.


Video and Light-Based Work - A large sculpture by Tivon Rice, The History of Television, 1974-2006, pays homage to Nam June Paik and anchors the Black Box space of the loading zone created through the use of all the crates used to get Lawrimore Project to Miami. The Black Box will also feature the sculptural video work of Susie J. Lee, a new video with found objects by New York artist, Charles LaBelle, and videos by Anne Mathern, Liz Cohen and Susan Robb.
