ITP Alumna Camille Utterback’s upcoming shows
Camille is pleased to announce 1) the completion of a public commission in St. Louis Park, MN, 2) two gallery shows opening this fall, 3) a residency and 4) an artist talk…. details below.
Interactive Light Sculpture for the Shops at West End open to the public September 15
Camille was commissioned by Forecast Public Art to create a permanent work for the City of St. Louis Park, Minnesota, and Duke Construction. Her as-of-yet-untitled interactive light sculpture is installed in the atrium of the Showplace Theaters at the Shops at West End in St. Louis Park.
When visitors touch glowing colored sections of the hand-railing, sensors translate the patterns of touch into animations in the vertical light columns suspended over the atrium stairwell. When all six sensors are activated, the patterns of light rain down the columns.
For a short video and explanation of the piece, please visit:

More documentation will be available on Camille’s website later in the fall after the West End fully opens to the public.
OPEN – Gray Area Foundation for the Arts’ Inaugural Exhibition, San Francisco, CA
Camille’s interactive video piece Liquid Time will be the first featured work in Gray Area’s Tendorama Window Gallery Project, a series of rotating bi-monthly installations in the gallery’s prominent 15′ x 8′ windows facing Taylor Street. The installation incorporates a series of videos shot in the surrounding Tenderloin neighborhood which are projected in the gallery window. Motions of people passing by the window disrupt both time and space in the projections. This site-specific window installation will be viewable every day after dark during the exhibit by residents and visitors of the Tenderloin.
The OPEN exhibition also features work by C.E.B Reas and Stamen Design.
Exhibition runs October 1 – November 18, 2009
