The primary goal of this video production is to advocate for funding of field trips to the museum by showing how a field trip to the Nelson-Atkins might look.
Commissioned by The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, the video will be streamed on Nelson-Atkins' website for local primary and secondary schools (students, teachers and their purse-stringing administrators).
artist Joshua Rizer on Conceptual art and the degradation of visual language
---
October 25, 2009, Kansas City, MO – Thirty-six stories above eye level on the penthouse terrace at 909 Walnut, Joshua Rizer was graciously hosting a celebration for all of the Featured Artists in the 2009 Paint The District public art exhibition in the Power & Light District, which had featured his work “Feat Of Ignorance.”
The backdrop of shimmering lights hints at the type of environment in which you may stumble upon Mr. Rizer in the real world: in a dimly-lit corner of a room filled with people, a deliberate vantage point to consolidate his thoughts about the world around him without obscuring his visibility of it.
A goal of this talk was to present Rizer's articulate opinions on Conceptual art. Rizer's personality shines through, and I might describe his as a keenly observant, critical character full of thoughtful opinions but not lacking a sense of humor.
Just think about it… What if you were trapped under something heavy and the mouse was out of your reach? Scary, right? That's exactly why we have these keyboard shortcuts so you can still use Vimeo until the help arrives.
