I am thrilled to be in dialog with artist Stephen Vitiello about his exhibition Stephen Vitiello: Tall Grasses, along with Christopher Cox, exhibition curator and Executive Director of the Salina Art Center on Friday, October 29. I hope you can make it, if you are in the area.
Northern Lights announces a second round of Art(ists) on the Verge commissions (AOV2). AOV2 is an intensive, mentor-based fellowship program for 5 Minnesota-based, emerging artists or artist groups working experimentally at the intersection of art, technology, and digital culture with a focus on network-based practices that are interactive and/or participatory. AOV2 is generously supported by the Jerome Foundation.

Northern Lights has commissioned renowned sound artist Stephen Vitiello to create a new multimedia work based on Very Low Frequency (VLF) recordings and filming of the aurora borealis. Last week, Stephen traveled with cinematographer Matt Flowers to Fort McMurray, in Alberta, Canada.
“Art(ists) on the Verge: 2008-2009 Northern Lights/Jerome Emerging Artists Commissions runs through August 23, and anyone who is anywhere near Minneapolis should take an afternoon to see it.”
Northern Lights is in the U of M news recently with a profile of director Steve Dietz:
Dietz’s current project is called Northern Lights: a roving, collaborative, interactive media-oriented art agency. “There are some exceptional artists here,†he says, “and there are some strong programs at MCAD and the U; but there isn’t the strong environment of support that you get in San Francisco and New York.†This is one of the reasons that Northern Lights includes a program called Art(ists) on the Verge (AOV), a two-track fellowship and mentoring program for Minnesota-based, emerging artists working experimentally at the intersection of art and technology, with a focus on practices that are social, collaborative and/or participatory. AOV is a partnership project between Northern Lights and the Jerome Foundation. Northern Lights was also the initiator of the UnConvention, a coordinated effort of artists’ responses to the 2008 Republican National Convention.
