ILLUSION 7 - DREAMS/SUEÑOS SEPTEMBER 27

THE LAST ILLUSION SHOW EVER
(((click to enlarge image)))



WHO, You and more than 50 Artists
WHAT, A free space for an evening of a collective creation.
WHEN, Saturday September 27th , 2008
TIME, 6:07 pm – 10:03 pm
WHERE, MCCLA Galleries –2nd floor-
THEME, DREAMS - SUEÑOS
THE SPACE, More than 10,000 sq. ft of WHITE PAPER ready for the art !



REQUIRED ATTIRE
Guests come dressed in BLACK. Artists are dressed in all WHITE.

The Event
Illusion is a one-night event, developing over the course of 4 hours, where more than 50 artists engage in making, with other artists, and the public to share the space of the Mission Cultural Center’s two galleries. All surfaces are wrapped in white paper: walls, floors & columns. Artists come dressed in white for the making and the public dressed completely in BLACK, for the viewing, what takes place over the course of an evening is the optical illusion of vibration.
Illusion is a moment of energetic, public happening.

This ILLUSION show is the last opportunity to discover self among others and to create in a shared space for all ages, children and adults.

The Theme
This year’s theme of “DREAMS” is open to interpretation and is offered as a design parameter to those artists interested in commenting upon and creating around this theme. The idea can be simple and transformed into its own making, with the DREAM color, words, sound, movement…

IF you never was in the ILLUSION, this is the last chance
