THE SPOKESMAN REVIEW: Theme for this First Friday: Art in Dark Rooms

Dark rooms seem to be a theme this First Friday, but they are all so different. And oh, so trippy. The Kolva-Sullivan Gallery is hosting a couple of artists looking to alter viewers’ realities by blocking out light. “Vault” by Kelsey Brewer is an intimate, pitch black void housed within a domed structure. Inside, somatically connective technologies guide and support you to engage with an interior aspect of yourself and describe it in sensory terms. Synesthetic technologies including touch-based sound and sound-based sight that interact with you directly to change, complicate and confuse your normal perception of your senses.
