Venice Art Crawl - December 2010
Video projection by Jesse Nikette on Market Street
Live poetry readings by James Berkowitz
The December Venice Art Crawl appeared to be a success, with solid crowds braving the (relative) cold and darkness (no argument there) to come down to the beach and enjoy some local art. This month had numerous exhibitions, including a cluster of video installations on Market Street, collectively called December Lights. The street was illuminated with numerous video projections lighting up buildings from rooftops across the street, including an interactive projection of the Nintendo classic, Donkey Kong, which participants could play by holding up a cutout of Mario and running his shadow up the wall. Pretty fun! The evening flew by, and we eventually found ourselves at an afterparty before suddenly waking up the next morning with a dull throbbing in our heads. A reminder that a good time was had. Looking forward to next month!

Getting to DJ for all the beautiful VAC attendees was a stellar experience! Thanks to Mark, Jacob and the entire VAC crew for continuing to offer such an excellent cultural playground for artists and musicians alike. I look forward to the coming months! =D
Hi David, thank so much posting the wonderful photograph with notation. Great eye for composition and lighting in the photos posted. Would love to have a digital file copy of the shot so I can share on my blog and website. I attempted a pdf but it only captures the first two photos. I already posted via Facebook. If you have any other photos I would be grateful for them and make sure to credit you with your blog and any available links. Thanks for being present and capturing the moment.
Kind regards,
James Berkowitz
