Art Ramble
On the True False Art Ramble, festivalgoers can go on a stroll through some of downtown Columbia’s more artistic spots. Guide Gabriel Williams led the tour and provided commentary about pieces on Hitt Street, down Alley A and in front of the businesses lining Ninth Street and Broadway.
Throughout the tour, Williams tried to get the participants to make the tour what they wanted it to be because of his own belief in the value of personal interaction and interpretation.
“I think there’s power in secret names and alternate names, and I also there’s great power in imagining things that aren’t there or believing in things that aren’t real,” Williams said.
He offered his take on the different installations and pieces on the tour.
On Duncan Bindbeutel's "The Frozen Man" in front of Ninth Street Video:
“I think it would be cool if there wasn’t a mysterious figure encased in this block of ice. I think it’s very wild of Duncan to kind of strike that balance between his own discoveries and also letting the eternal sculptor have his or her say in things.”
On Jaynell Lardizabal and Kelsie Herron's "Sia" in Alley A:
“This one is called Sia. I don’t know if it’s called Sia because it resembles a chandelier or because it’s like ‘Oh Sia? I see ya.”
On Yulia Pinkusevich's "Stilted" in Alley A, referring to the piece's juxtaposition to Glenn Rice's "light>|
“As you approach it you kind of notice how the perspective shifts ad how they interact with one another as we move down."
