About MUX
MUX: Asheville is a Video Art Festival created by video artists, art theorists, curators, & educators seeking to expand the field for new media and video art, easing the imbalance between artists and exhibition platforms.
MUX’s structure is derived from the term ‘multiplexing’ and operates as such: it allows for multiple data streams delivering varied signals to unite over a single channel. MUX offers a stereoscopic approach to curating new media that establishes perspectival depth through the formation of a body of work. Considering experimental works that explore, create, and challenge systems, modes of representation, and ideologies through the use of creative audio / video / performative language, MUX’s structurally conscious network subsumes geographic distances in exchange for a temporal omnipresence.

Stop thinking about art works as objects, and start thinking about them as triggers for experiences. That solves a lot of problems. Art is something that happens, a process, not a quality, and all sorts of things can make it happen … [W]hat makes a work of art ‘good’ for you is not something that is already ‘inside’ it, but something that happens inside you.
Brian Eno (via anorsexic)
Eva Hesse’s “Accession” series, created during 1968-69 was one of the most compelling fusions of 1960’s art ideas to arrive on the scene. #Boston art and doc lovers get to see both the film & the art this week! @mfaboston is screening the doc (9/1-9/10) and “Accession IV”, one of the best examples of this series, is now at @icaboston in their newly opened exhibit “First Light”. Director Marcie Begleiter will be in town next week for Q&A at the 5PM Thursday, Sept 8th screening and to give a galley talk about their Hesse works on view at the ICA on Sunday, Sept. 11th at 2PM.
This clip from the film features Doug Johns, Hesse’s studio assistant and fabricator as well as archival footage by Dorothy Beskind.
Art Installation Captures the Beauty of the Sea and the Ocean
Los Angeles born artist Phillip K Smith III, commissioned by the Laguna Art Museum composed an astounding installation as part of the Art and Nature program.
Art breathes life into our world, it becomes the most spectacular tool of communication and an essence of our existance. Art can change the human condition into beauty. Art can save the damned, free the prisoner and rescue the soul from the emptyness of reality.
