Kinetic Art Comes to Boynton!

International Kinetic Art Exhibit and Symposium

Boynton Beach, Florida

The Stakeholder Workshop March 2, 2012

Today I had the pleasure of being invited to The Stakeholder Workshop for the

International Kinetic Art Exhibit and Symposium which will place Boynton Beach, Florida, literally, as a mover and shaker in the international arts arena!

Much was revealed about the developments of the multifaceted project spearheaded by Debby Coles-Dobay, Public Art Administrator for the City of Boynton Beach. Among the revelations was the magnitude of this endeavor, which is expected to be experience by

local, national, and international audiences.

Present at the sneak preview were the Arts Commission Members, the Mayor, Mrs. Hay and other government officials of the City of Boynton Beach.

We have all heard that our great city has been in the process of re-branding itself, but who would have expected to see it coming about with such vitality and support.

Today I left with overwhelming pride in Boynton Beach!

Celebrating Art in Motion

2013

"Kinetic artists seek to propel the mind to wonder and to encourage viewers to appreciate the joy in motion and learn about other ways it can benefit society. Kinetic art is created by artists who push the boundaries of traditional, static art forms to introduce visual experiences that will engage the audience and profoundly change the course of modern art."

KeroWACKED: an Homage to Jack at ActivistArtistA; Kerouac Would Have Approved

KeroWACKED: A Homage to JackActivistArtistA
Sunday, February 25, 2012

Trying to describe the energy that permeates inside ActivistArtistA, a decently seized yet petite art enclave in Boynton Beach, proves tough, mostly because describing a vibe always is.

For the pagans and Buddhists, they feel refreshed just by feeling the wind. Others have to be dunked into water or sit in a box to feel cleansed of their sins. But thenew art walk up at the District is managing to pull this righteous cleansing off all by itself. All you have to do is walk inside the place.
Once inside the confines, the familial ties between the artists and the connectedness of this community wakes up your spirit.

This Sunday, ActivistArtistA hosted the "KeroWACKED: A Homage to Jack" festival that ran all day and had everything, like car-painting, craft-selling, live painting, live music from both bands and solo artists, and even live DJs -- all this went on at the same time. You couldn't turn and not be immersed in something artistically related.

Why not paint a car?

Monica McGivern

The short-haired blond is artist Krist Delgado. She created a Kerouac-themed piece.

Mickie Centrone

And I bought it. (Artist: Krist Delgado)

Now, many might not know who Jack Kerouac is. He was a Beat Generation writer, most famous for his book On the Road. He loved jazz and beatnik poetry (just try to recite a poem in the style of a jazz beat). He loved socializing, drinking with friends, and talking about human emotions.

Although none of the artwork, besides a piece or two, was Kerouac-themed, more important, this festival dedicated to Kerouac captured his spirit. And he's a man to love.

Monica McGivern

The awesome van.

Rolando Chang Barrero, the man whose spirit is changing the tip-top of South Florida. Watch out, this thing is growing.

What the studios look like.

By Monica McGivern

Inside her studio, the Inkmaster star Lea Vendetta. She creates paintings as well as tattoos. (Note: the tatts are done at the shop, A Stroke of Genius Tattoos.)

Outside the studios, the Bay Gates Project is well under way. Beautiful graffiti now lingers across many walls. An artist will paint each gate (the "door" to the studio), and then after a year, a new artist will get that movable barrier. Same goes for the walls.
