Kingston Sculpture Biennial 2007
July 7 – October 20
 
Unique Multi-media Performance Final Event of Kingston Sculpture Biennial 2007
 
The Kingston Sculpture Biennial 2007 is pleased to present its final public event, a performance of Archaeology of a Storm by the collaborative group Cave Dogs, which will take place live in Hasbrouck Park, Kingston, on Friday, October 5 at 8:00 p.m..  (Raindate is Sunday, October 7.)Bring a blanket or a lawn chair to experience Cave Dogs’ unique blend of shadow-play, video projection, live action, sound, and music on the grass of the natural amphitheater near the baseball field in this public park located off Delaware Avenue.
Archaeology of a Storm is a multi-media tragicomedy about three generations of people balancing their inherited legacies with the conflicts of their present. Living in the same apartment building in three distinct and connected times: World War I, the 1960’s, and the present, the characters’ sometimes funny and sometimes poignant devotion to each other and their ideals, in the face of a storm, lead them to unexpected resolutions.  
Cave Dogs performances consist of innovative, large-scale shadow projections cast onto a screen from sculptures, props, costumes, and the human body. Cast shadows move in concert with projected video imagery, spoken narrative, and an original soundtrack. Cave Dogs create visual tableaus, and produce effects that conjure both the dreamlike quality of early experimental film and the humor of contemporary animation. Cave Dogs tells life stories that charm, intrigue, challenge, and captivate adults and children alike.  
The performance is free to the public, but donations are both welcome and encouraged.
Cave Dogs members are Suzanne Stokes, James Fossett, Michelle Hughes, Dan Getman, Jeremy Holmes, Tracy Leavitt, and Amy Schoonover. Dean Jones created the soundtrack.  
We welcome the opportunity for pre-show interviews and previews. Please contact Suzanne Stokes via email or phone 845.334.9918 for more information on the group or to arrange interviews.  Public inquiries about the event may be directed to the Arts Society of Kingston at 338-0331.

 The Kingston Sculpture Biennial was first organized in 1995 as the Rondout Sculpture Exhibition by members of the Art Society of Kingston (ASK). In 1997, it was renamed the Kingston Sculpture Biennial, which also marked the entry of the City of Kingston as its official co-sponsor. Since that time, the Biennial has become a regular fixture of civic and artistic life, enriching the public environment of the City for residents and visitors alike.

The Biennial has grown over the years into a major public art exhibition, featuring work by dozens of artists—from around the block to around the globe—with sculpture installed in public parks, at prominent intersections, as well as on private property in locations throughout the 8.6 square miles of the city. The Kingston Sculpture Biennial, opened on July 7, includes over 50 works placed throughout the City of Kingston. 
The exhibition is funded by the City of Kingston, and is administered by the Arts Society of Kingston.
