Fulcrum Arts presents 2018’s A_S Festival, a regional celebration of art and science, taking place from Friday, November 2 through Sunday, November 11, 2018. This year’s festival, entitled A_S Festival: City as Wunderkammer, will incorporate the concept of the “wunderkammer,” or “cabinet of curiosities,” as a model for exploring the intersection of art and science. While often described as occupying opposite ends of the spectrum, art and science are instead understood to be powerful engines of contemporary culture. This ongoing festival features exhibitions, performances, and educational programming. As a thematic pivoting point, A_S Festival provides opportunities for discovering the fascinations, curiosities, and tensions ignited by pondering integrations of art and science. Experience the 10-day festival in public spaces and online, in collaboration with a dozen locations including local science and cultural institutions as well as the festival’s own website.

Creative agency December 9th is proud to present an encore presentation of sculptural painter Francesca Bifulco’s Forcella Reigns: The Men Who Play Cards, an immersive multimedia installation, in deep collaboration with digital artist/sound engineer Alex Schetter. Returning to the site of its successful April 2018 world premiere at ZJU Theater in North Hollywood, the multifaceted art/set/sound installation will run for five days – Wednesday, September 5 through Sunday, September 9, 2018. The artists will be present through its entirety. Forcella Reigns is the culmination of a three-year anthropological study in a rundown neighborhood in Naples, Italy. There, Bifulco imbedded herself with a group of men who play cards on a corner staircase, Gradini Forcella, at the same time everyday, unwitting actors in an improvised show. Surrounded by the smoke of cigarettes, the smell of espresso, and the noise of the dilapidated streets where abuse, violence and organized crime dictate the flow in Forcella, Bifulco would become a mute player and the teller of their story. The installation merges Bifulco’s sculptural paintings with hybrid stage design, integrating shadowbox video projection and 3D environmental sound.
