Artseen 4
October 15–November 2, 1996

Over the past four years, this exhibition has served as a kind of laboratory for new and experimental work by local artists. Originally, the intent was to create the atmosphere for dialogue about new work by organizing a studio crawl and a reception. More recently, the event has been moved to a single, off-site location. This year, the programming committee decided to present an invitational component in an off-site location. During the same programming period, a day and evening self-directed studio tour featuring selected artists was planned. In order to encourage a dialogue about the work there was an “afterglow/after the crawl” following the studio visits. In conjunction with this event, Artcite presented a ‘noise-fest’ of local audio artworks. This was presented in a local bar during the festival.
