Artery 24 - 08 prt 1

On July 5th and 6th in 2008 a new performance art event appeared on the Minneapolis/Saint Paul art scene. ARTERY 24 brought together artists from a myriad of backgrounds placing them in a pioneering exhibition format which used multiple galleries throughout The Soap Factory as well as individual project rooms and the outdoors. For each hour of the twenty-four hour period a different artist/dancer/musician/puppeteer/actor/group or collaboration performed. New media works were featured in time-based synthesis during performance interludes. ARTERY 24's format is derived from a non-religious appropriation of a Catholic ritual known as the Forty Hours' Devotion. In 16th Century Italy the aforementioned ritual was a prominent feature of any artists calendar whether they were a performing artist or a visual artist, notable participants were Caravaggio and Prospero Orsi. ARTERY 24 is designed to be a vessel for the exposition of a broad spectrum of performing arts, enabling a space and time for experimentation and exhibition. The artists themselves were invited to respond to the following: the historical basis of the festival, the historical gallery space, and their experiences of modern urban life.
