High Beams #6: Convoy
Aug. 20, 2022, 5-9pm
Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design
1600 Pierce St., Lakewood, CO
The curators of High Beams (Los Angeles) have partnered with Hyperlink (Denver) for HB6: Convoy, the latest in a series of nomadic outdoor exhibitions, slated for the evening of Aug. 20, 2022, at the Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design. The exhibition was organized by Carl Baratta (LA), Tobias Fike (Denver), and Don Fodness (Denver) and features over 50 artists from around the West, Midwest, and California.
For the sixth installment, the Los Angeles crew will be taking the show on the road and traveling to Denver, along with several other collectives from around the Midwest and the South. Many artists in HB6 will be partaking in their own classic American road trip that is one-part logistical, one-part performance, and one-part party, that traverses the interstate system from points around the country.
Situated on the campus of the Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design, HB6: Convoy showcases a series of experimental works that include sculpture, video, performance, painting, and new media that respond to the site of the former tuberculosis sanitarium. Artists will display works in parking lots, in trees, along greenways, and in other public spaces around the historic campus.
Examples of work include a film by Andrew Murray (LA), showing various in situ installations that he fabricated from materials found on hikes and campsites along his trip to Colorado; a collaborative piece by Hyperlink (Denver), using repurposed CB Radios to filter an auditory palimpsest of each member in the collective describing their artistic process; a performance by The Art Dominatrix (Elizabeth Folk, LA), which explores various professional goals, including firmly-guided creative unblockings, studio visits, and portfolio reviews; a new media sculpture by Sean Noyce (LA), which evokes the spirits of the artist's paternal Mormon ancestors in Utah; a provocative 1970s-themed car wash by The Bridge Club (Denver), nodding to the original Roe v. Wade decision; a new media projection by The Experiential Co. (Anita Kucharczyk and Dylan Roscover), which augments classical Greco-Roman statuary with digitized particle swarms; and text installations by Diego Juarez (LA), which consists of various poems, handwritten on translucent linen paper and hung on trees around the campus.
