Head Cinema--Sleep, Dreams and Reality / Call to Artists

Head Cinema is a US (Art Outlet)/German (Der Kunstladen, The Art Shop) artists' swap meet showcasing German and US artists' explorations of dreams and dreaming.

The Art Shop artists will show us their dream stuff and Washington area artists will return the favor during a live webcam reception October 17, from 2-4 (EST) at the Capitol Skyline Hotel in SW DC's Skyline Lounge and Magnolia Room. (Tell your cousin in Mannheim to show up for a shout out!).

Art Outlet's reception will include dream performance by Floating Lab Collective, dream magic by David London with Jeramie Bellmay, and a performance TBA. Art by DC area artists will include audio, still photography and video about dreams broadcasted during the reception. DJ CJ Weaver will spin dreamy ambient tunes, and the Skyline Lounge will be pouring libations.

The Art Shop will feature a video tour of the 2 and 3-D art in the show, live performance, and recorded video about dreams.
