Proctor's project to début January 15
12.30.09
Months of hard work will lead to a celebration and official unveiling of a class-wide art project for Tech Valley High School juniors on January 15 at Proctor's Theater.
The students have been working since October on a massive sculpture - the largest piece of which is a 14-foot high diamond shaped object - that will hang in the arcade of the historic Schenectady theater.
Owning to one of the tenets of the school - that students work with experts from the community on project - the budding TVHS artists have worked with electronic artists Jesse Stiles, who helped animate the project, and seamstress Lynn Kopka, who helped the students sew nylon and rip-stop fabric that will serve as a backdrop.
The artwork - which will hang in a three-story section of the theater - depicts a new universe after the existing universe was destroyed.
The artwork, which will be officially unveiled during a 5 p.m. event, will be on display or about six months, teacher Ed Coolidge said.
