HARRISON ATELIER’S VEAL PREMIERE
FEBRUARY 7–10, 2013, 7:30pm performances at The Invisible Dog Art Center



VEAL is the newest work from multidisciplinary design collective Harrison Atelier (HAt). HAt principals Seth and Ariane Harrison and their collaborators have created a large-scale sculptural and sound installation, featuring a contemporary dance performance, exploring the development of the ecology of the industrial animal as man competes with nature to form and control the environment. To create VEAL, HAt has partnered with dancer and emerging choreographer Silas Riener and composer Loren Dempster, who previously worked with HAt on the innovative dance-installation Pharmacophore: Architectural Placebo, at New York’s Storefront for Art & Architecture in 2011. In performing his choreography, Riener will be joined by Rashaun Mitchell and Cori Kresge. The VEAL installation comprises five spaces: four in the Invisible Dog’s main gallery, and the fifth in a second gallery. In each, multimedia sculptures double as musical instruments and are intertwined with the performance in the second gallery.

Concept and Design by Seth and Ariane Harrison of Harrison Atelier; Harrison Atelier team: Jeremy Steiner, Christos Bolos, Sierra Cobb, David Backer
