Scion Installation 7 Art Tour

Sat, Mar 05, 2011

Since its inception in 2003, Scion Installation has raised over $250,000 for art charities and non-profits. Building on the success of last year's tour, Installation 7 again focuses on the video medium, which emerged in the 1960s and has since expanded galleries into more experimental, kinetic and interactive spaces. Installation 7: Video challenged 10 artists to create non-narrative video installations that will eventually transform five unique exhibitions in Los Angeles, Brooklyn, Wichita, Minneapolis and Austin. The featured artists are: Cheryl Dunn, David Choe, Cody Hudson & Jared Eberhardt, Franki Chan, Gluekit, Mackie Osborne, Matt Goldman, Souther Salazar, SSUR© and The London Police.
