Heat, Reheat, Repeat
Posted by Hannah Sayle on Thu, Aug 12, 2010 at 9:28 AM
The uninspiring dog days of summer are the unlikely muse of Maggie Exner's latest exhibition, Heat Wave, appearing this Friday from 8 to 10 p.m. at the P & H Cafe. I say "appearing" because the bulk of the show is live representation, and after Friday night only a few installation pieces will be on display.
"It's not about painting. It's more about mixing different elements," explains Exner. "Mainly I do drawings with strange environments and characters I create, and this is supposed to be that come to life."
To that end, Exner will turn the stage area at the P & H into a live representation of a heat wave with collage, installation, and live characters.
"It's just kind of the way I've been feeling this summer," says Exner. "Obviously it's about the heat, but a lot about the repetition of things and moving in circles."

Looks interesting, avant garde, but interesting nevertheless (unlike farts on a wall).
Hey, speaking of the P&H, I haven't been there in quite a while. Does it still have that automatic Jiffy Pop popping device? Check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyhGFn3SQD0
Man, now that's avant garde. Eat your heart out, Apple, Microsoft, etc. THIS is my idea of technology.
