Forum Lounge: Cindy Derby, Edward’s House of String

Posted by cafpress on: Fri 25th May, 2012

Thursday, June 7

5 pm Happy Hour: Wine provided by La Tour Wine Merchants and music by Warbler Records & Goods

7 pm Performance

LA-based artist Cindy Derby combines a mix of stop-motion animation, intricate puppetry, and handcrafted scenic elements to create an existential narrative told through the perspective of Edward the Skeleton. As Derby manipulates Edward through the world of unseen forces that influence and transform the psyche, she illuminates the power of memory and rumination.

We invite you to view UCSB MFA 2012 Exhibition: Headgear for Tony between 5 and 7 pm.

About

CAF is a non-profit, non-collecting institution dedicated to exhibiting the highest quality of contemporary art while recognizing "the artists of tomorrow," and was founded in 1976 by artists and art supporters seeking a venue dedicated solely to contemporary art. What once began as a grassroots, artist-run organization with nominal funding now serves as the leading contemporary arts presenter in Central California. CAF offers its innovative education and exhibition programming to the region primarily free of charge. There is no admission fee because CAF believes that the arts should be accessible to all audiences of all persuasions. It truly is foundations and individuals from the community that keep CAF active, inspired and alive with opportunities for artists, children, and adults to experience all the visual and performing arts have to offer.
