DVD to ART: Bumper Crop!

Wednesday, October 13, 2010

Spent the beautiful fall afternoon outdoors shucking today's harvest.

Separating the raw DVDs from their husks is the first step in this recipe for transformation.

DVD to ART is a project by Lucinda Naylor,

in collaboration with Catholics who received DVDs

from the archbishop urging them to oppose

same-sex marriage. In the spirit of “art changes

everything”, Lucinda collected these DVDs

to transform them into art. Please check out the blog

history and links to follow the progress and history

of this project.

Following its brief life in a make-shift gallery,

I have turned The Wave into smaller sculptures.

Some of these will be offered for sale, others will be

auctioned to benefit the glbtq Online High School,

or given to "good causes". I returned about 1,000 DVDs to the

archbishop along with DVDs collected by Return the DVD.

The Wailing Wall Quilt--made from DVD sleeves and notes

from the community--will be on display at

All God's Children Metropolitan Community Church

(3100 Park Ave. South, Mpls. MN 55407) starting December 5th.
