6pm to 8pm "Art Show Down": Opening Reception Art Interactive, 130
Bishop Allen Dr, Cambridge (Central Sq) FREE If you're not going to
the HeyLetsGo party, you might be a slightly weird person... Ahem,
so this slightly weird exhibit might interest you. 'Art Show Down'
is both an exhibit that examines the TV game show and a game show
about art. Starting on 9/16, they will be taping the game show
every other Saturday (at 2pm & 6pm) at Art Interactive, which
will be shown on Cambridge Community Television. On each show, 2
artists will compete in a variety of games such as ‘The
Auction Price is Right’, ‘Schmooze and Booze’,
‘Art or Bull’, ‘Action Art Shooting
Gallery’, ‘A Brush with Danger’ and more. I like
the idea of being creative while running through an obstacle course
etc. This sounds somewhat like a mission statement: “Art Show
Down aims to critique and exploit the game show genre by exploring
the nature of televised competition and how it interfaces with
commercial interests, culture, and the production of contemporary
art.” The gallery exhibition will be open and free on
Saturdays and Sundays (Noon to 6pm) until 11/5. You can see the art
that’s created during the show tapings, the set, props,
costumes, and taped episodes. Go to the 'Art Show Down' site if you
want to reserve tickets to a taping.
