A REVIEW OF THIS EXHIBITION IS HERE: www.artistsunite-ny.org/blog/?p=1599

Public Intervention Projection explores the universal fascination of people with the moon while evoking mythical, romantic, fantastic, and obscure attributes of the celestial body. TABULA LUNAR is an ephemeral surface on which people’s street presence is incorporated into visuals of and narratives about the lunar landscape appropriated from popular cinematic culture. Poetic and intrusive, familiar yet out of this world, intimate yet made into a public collaborative performance, the project prompts a possible dialogue of our connection to the night sky and what can be seen of it in an urban setting.

Just want to make sure anyone reading about this event is not left with the impression that the venue is inside the Coliseum Theater. Tabula Lunar is to be projected on the exterior wall of the Coliseum Theater and will be viewable from the sidewalk across the street.
