O+ FESTIVAL KINGSTON

KINGSTON, NEW YORK

Mobile Exhibition @ Ferrovia Studios and throughout the city of Kingston

OCTOBER 11 - OCTOBER 13, 2019

Artists: DUSTIN SCHENK, The ArtPod Team

Part I: HomeBuoy:  The site-specific installation at Ferrovia Studios is a reflection on perspectives. The “X” represents the crossing of paths where one site is seen as encompassing many different views. The HomeBuoy creates physical and visual divisions depending on where one stands. Viewers will be able to immerse themselves in the colorful, transformative environment. One has the opportunity to lounge and dream while experiencing the object-filled installation. 

Part II: X-tra Ordinaries Port:  A mobile sculpture that begins at HomeBuoy and reappears in various locations around Kingston over the festival weekend (uptown, midtown and Rondout). As the Port travels, visitors can interact with it and alter it in different ways. The Port arrives in Kingston like an immigrant without a purpose or a place, but intrigued by the potential of human contact, it faces new experiences. The form and color draw people to the sculpture. It grows in an organic process of community involvement. The Port is on an adventure in Kingston, guided by your interactions with it!
