Comments on: SUPER DYNAMIC ACTION GO! http://www.kera.org/blogs/culture/2009/07/01/super-dynamic-action-go/ Arts and Culture for North Texas and Far Beyond Fri, 20 Nov 2009 23:48:22 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Joel Kiser http://www.kera.org/blogs/culture/2009/07/01/super-dynamic-action-go/#comment-6692 Joel Kiser Wed, 08 Jul 2009 02:52:59 +0000 http://www.kera.org/blogs/culture/?p=7890#comment-6692 The artists of SUPER DYNAMIC ACTION GO! worked in a co-opted manner with the experimental agenda of storefront through the investigation of a sophisticated and flexible negotiation of the public street and the typical 1st floor retail space. The original façade installation by the group was intended to engage public space in a novel way by locating the art and architecture installation at interface between gallery and street rather than sealing it off from the public life of the street. SUPER DYNAMIC ACTION GO! extends this installation through the introduction of a more precise and fluid secondary interface, one charged with the purpose of fostering a marketable product referential of pop culture, sci-fi –culture, comic culture itself; creating a reciprocal relationship between high art and mass culture through a variable and fluid display of merchandise and video. Each artist contributed a piece that envisions characters and objects with both fantastical and functional iconographies. The art is painstakingly brought to life through machinist techniques, the emphasis of a plot or traditional type of story, and the manipulation of video to convey a sense journey through time and space. And to clarify, yes there is an exhibition inside the Fort Worth Contemporary Arts, despite what the blogger said.

Fair coverage would include not only galleries but the movement against galleries. Not only videos promoting modern art, but the ground breaking videos like "Snake Oil" that attack conceptual art and modern art abuses. Where is the coverage of the Stuckism movement? This blog has to decide if it will be a media source that demands fair journalism, or just a promo for favorites.
