Gallery project seeks to spark dialogue
Gallery 510 in Dayton and Involvement Advocacy have announced a public art initiative called the “510project” that will seek to encourage conversations of community interest between artists and audiences.
Each month, an artist will be invited to create an installation, performance or exhibition in the window of the gallery at 510 E. Fifth St. Goal is to create a conversation about the relevance of art in society, the roles of artist and audience, what it means to be a creator, viewer, participant and collaborator, and “what it means to be Dayton.”
The project grew out of a conversation between community catalyst and Blue Sky Project founder Peter Benkendorf and artist Loretta Puncer, who owns Gallery 510.
“We both felt that artists who live in Dayton have much to contribute in addressing the challenges we face as a community. They just need a viable venue to begin,” Benkendorf said.
The opening installation, Nov. 27-Dec. 3, will be “Seen/Unseen,” a media-driven performance art installation by choreographer and media artist Rodney Veal that will allow and encourage interaction. There will be a live performance from 5 to 8 p.m. Dec. 2, followed by an artist and community conversation. Video/sound collage and performance will be part of the work.
Upcoming artists will be Issa Randall of Dayton in December/January and Leigh Waltz of Miamisburg in January’February.
