Upcoming 3rd Ward Events

Take a look at these interesting upcoming events at 3rd Ward, located in our “sister neighborhood” Bushwick:

Resonance in Residence: Sound Sculpture at 3rd Ward, Opening Event, March 6th

What happens when you put 7 artists in a room and ask them to create a sculptural object focusing on sound? A collaborative installation combining 100 algorithmically-controlled, sound-generating motors and field recordings, of course! A true three dimensional, multi-sensorial art experience!

Join us for the opening reception on Friday, March 6th from 7:00 to 10:00 p.m. Free beer (while it lasts). Please RSVP to gallery@3rdward.com.

Film Details

Metropolis – Rob Carter

This quirky and abridged narrative history of Charlotte, NC captures the development of one of the fastest growing American cities with stop motion video animation. Physically manipulated aerial still images of the city (both real and fictional), create a landscape in constant motion. Made entirely from images printed on paper, the animation literally represents this sped up urban planners dream. The video travels into an imagined hubristic future, of more and more skyscrapers, sports arenas and a suffering environment – capturing our paper-thin significance, no matter how many monuments of steel, glass and concrete we build.

Apocalypse Now – Christoph Draeger/Martin Frei

Explore your fascination with breaking, exploding, and drowning & analyze our notions of fear, horror, death and the afterlife through the fractured lens of cinema. Apocolype Now investigates the themes of disaster and catastrophe by slicing together snippets from 50 films using found footage.
