Article For Publication By Barry Tribuzio
“…an ever evolving trinity of form and visions.”
All bright summer haze will fade, a moments grace is but a memory.
A photograph of fleeting smiles, these as well will drift away.
It is all about Memory.
Music
Art
Experience
To share in this brief embrace we call Life.
A celebration and a mourning at the same time.
Every breath is an exhalation of time passing, into the crisp sharper focus of Autumn.
The air is more blue, a cooler aspect draws our eyes in anticipation of flowing spirits
And dreams far beyond those midsummer nights..
Three Studios, an ever evolving trinity of form and visions, will attempt a summoning of these elusive ghosts of memory with sound,light and artistry.
Studio 23 presents it’s annual Blacklight Art Show, a feast of glowing colors and shadowed contrasts in a light spectrum that may be unfamiliar to some, and a sense memory feast to others. These pieces are altered states of mind and float above their substrates, conjuring spells of form and color.
A video installation,and an LED tunnel will further beguile all who attend.
Music will be performed by Quentel the Cryptid, who combines sound,art and video into a fully immersive experience guaranteed to warm the October chill and invite those ghosts to linger and commune with us.
3 Dot Gallery will present it’s Memento Mori Show, which translates to “Remember Death’..An exhibition reminding us of the impermanence of all things, and how this lesson is really so much of our collective art history, and underpins the drive for creative expression in the face of time, decay, and mortality.
The beauty of life is in recognition of it’s brevity.
The Roofless Red Door Gallery will once again reveal its beauty beneath the night sky, and is a wonderful spot to see and reflect upon the sum of the three. October beckons us to gather falling leaves, to feel their brittle veins and know that this too, is us.
Join the Dance, with the might of all senses, and revel in the Now.

Special Installations:
Video Installation: Wesley E. Warren
Illuminated Coalescence: Pattern recognition and the geometry of human consciousness.
Wormhole: FILMA Art Collective
The first collective effort in this new studio is an upgrade to the sound reactive light-tunnel, Wormhole. Standing at 8′ high, 8′ wide, and 20′ long, Wormhole serves as a metaphor for the magnificence of transformation. Special thanks to William Burdette for envisioning and engineering a really fancy new frame and the fantabulous Robert Graf, the genius behind the electrons.
The Band: Quentel the Cryptid
Quentel the Cryptid is a multifaceted project created by solo artist Agent Arsenic. Although thought to have originated from the Pennsylvania wilderness, most recent sightings have been made along the West coast. Quentel the Cryptid creates groundbreaking work, combining many different styles of music to forge something all together new, and exceptionally interesting to experience. Vibrant and captivating visuals accompany their live sets, showcasing depth and portraying an entire world in which their music exists. A mysterious and expansive cast of characters and entities inhabit this surreal universe, living out bizarre and sometimes horrific plot lines. While occasionally observed in our shared plane of existence, these creatures are most often seen captured on video, also created by Agent Arsenic, and are broadcasted live during performances. Quentel the Cryptid, and all of the wonderful and strange facets encompassed in their world of music and film, makes for a truly unique and engrossing experience quite unlike anything else.
