Gatorman's
Minx
or
Illuminated Antifolk
Come along as ART Or Something Like It! meets up with multimedia
artist and writer Andrea Grant. Grant's writing comes from
real life experiences and moods which she then twists around
and expresses in her art form. Minx, a comic book character
that Grant has created, is the story of a woman who was bitten
by a super natural wolf and thrown into a coma. Her sleeping
state is that of a realm called Dreamtime where she is trained
to become a warrior by the queen of this transient realm.
Next we have Jerrod Bogard, a writer, filmmaker and theater
artist who is getting some real attention from critics and
film festivals these days. His play “Hugging the Shoulder”
takes a look at the relationship between two brothers who
end up on a cross country road trip together as one struggles
with a heroine addiction.
Carol Salmanson gives us a look at many of her unique light
sculptures and paintings as she talks about what goes into
creating her pieces. Models are created to plan out the curvatures
and realize any problems that could arise before the final
version is attempted. Working with the medium of light, Salmanson
is able to highlight artworks by making florescent backdrops
or simply creating works of art out of the lighting fixtures
themselves.
Rapping up the episode is a singer/song writer Lach. Among
his many talents, Lach plays the guitar and the piano. His
style of music is a genre referred to as “antifolk,”
which originated in the mid-80s. Rooted in the styles of punk
rock and American fold music, antifolk combines the feeling
of these two genres while adding in a political angle and
a punk rock attitude
