ANNAPOLIS, MD - October 5, 2009 - Studio 180 Dance in
partnership with Art21, Inc. as part of its Art21 Access '09 initiative, presents
a sneak preview of the fifth season of Art:21-Art in the Twenty-First Century,
the only prime time national television series focused exclusively on
contemporary art, on October 10 from 6-8pm at Studio 180 Dance, 131 Gibralter
Ave. Annapolis, MD. In celebration of Arts and Humanities Month, the
event will also feature dance demonstrations by the Studio 180 faculty, and displays
of local student artwork. This event is free and open to the public.
"We are thrilled to share an exclusive preview of this
educational and fascinating series," says Katie Carpenter, Owner of Studio
180 Dance. "As a dance studio, it is important for us to recognize and
celebrate all art forms including our love and passion for dance."
Art21 Access '09 is an international screening initiative created to increase
knowledge of contemporary art, ignite dialogue, and inspire creative thinking
through hundreds of public screenings and events that tailor the ideas
presented in the series to the interests and concerns of local audiences.
Fantasy presents
four artists whose works or personal stories transport viewers to imaginary
worlds and altered states of consciousness. With works that seem at times
hallucinatory, irreverent, and sublime, each of these artists pursues a vision
first held in the mind's eye. Jeff Koons, Mary Heilmann, Florian Maier-Aichen
and Cao Fei are featured.
Art21 Access '09 events are being hosted by museums,
schools, libraries, art spaces, community centers, and universities. Studio 180
is delighted to be selected as the local host.
"Art21 Access '09 draws the Art:21
television-viewing audience together in communities around the world and
provides a wonderfully enhanced Art:21 experience," said Susan Sollins,
Executive Producer of Art:21. "We hope that audiences will take full
advantage of the events in their area and develop an understanding of the
complex skills, techniques and knowledge that artists bring to their
work. Our goal is that these events contribute to boosting the confidence
of audiences worldwide to view and appreciate all art forms."
