Installations
Current List of Feature Installations. This list will continue to be updated as details settle.
Silent Crude
Silent Crude, a purposely silent film, is a textured, visual rumination on oil, sustainability, death, resources, and ecological destruction. The mesmeric images of abandoned gas stations and heavy oil fire smoke lean into questions regarding the sanctity of fuel energy substances and maintaining the status quo. They suggest inquiry into what is yet to come (or what might be looming just over the horizon) for our human, mammalian species, for the world in which we live, and for all the other creatures upon it.

Projection Installation
Ghosts of Dinners Past
“Ghosts of dinners past” is a homage to the seasonal drama and trauma that comes from the extended family, multigenerational traditional holiday meal. This installation is meant to highlight and poke fun at the shared weirdness of the traditional holiday meal, while quietly highlighting some serious, horrible memories such meals may trigger in my friends and family.dsd

B.I.A Spacebox
BOUBS love watching the hilarious tragedy that is EARTH play out. The BOUB Intelligence Agency has been dispatched to capture and relay EARTH happenings back to the trillions of VatFields tuned in to our every moment. Designed by Duluth artist Daniel Benoit, he says: “If art is a mirror… If I cover every inch of this install with mirrors, it must make it good art? Right?”

THURSDAY
THURSDAY @ 6:15
My Dad’s Calling
Leo, Evah, and Jupiter come together to pack a punch far beyond three people should, as they mix together and even rotate on uke, guitar, bass, drums, violin, and vocals. They’re an indie rock vibe, mastering covers and originals that highlight vocal and sound influences from bands like The Cranberries, Radiohead, Counting Crows, and emotional depth and lyrical influences from bands like Cloud Cult, Fleet Foxes, and David Bowie. They find a ton of inspiration from their MRC instructors’ bands: shout out to Shanna Willie and Traxx Kavajecz!
THURSDAY @ 7:15
Joy & Melancholy
Joy and Melancholy is an alternative band, known for their strange takes on the human experience. Consisting of Anna Joy on guitar/vocals, Eli Stanley on drums, and Kaitlyn Woodhull on keys/vocals. Influenced by varied artists from 2000’s pop punk, to 90s grunge, to modern pop- they are a healthy mix of anger, sadness, and comedy you do not want to miss. Plus, with lyrics like theirs, you’ll probably learn something too!

FRIDAY
FRIDAY @ 6:30
Mara Lovejoy
From DNT feature: “Glam is a good label for what I’m doing, conceptually,” said Lovejoy. On her album “Liminal,” though, “there’s songs where I was thinking about Metallica or Queens of the Stone Age, or death metal. There’s other ones where I was thinking of Nina Simone or Jeff Buckley or Patti Smith, or the Misfits or Portishead.”
FRIDAY @ 7:30
Shading The Sun
An amalgamation of shoegaze, new wave, trip-hop, post-punk goth and pop, it is the artistic output of Minneapolis-based electronic producer, Aaron Jacobson. Lyrically, Shadingthesun darkly pursues romance, paranoia, lust, shame, and hope.
