Thanks to all of you for your support!

We’d like to thank all of you for your support over the last month of SubZeroArts Bi-Metropolitan Art Madness (heretofore referred to as SZABAM).  Staging a show is always exciting, but staging two shows in two different cities at the same time is exponentially more exciting!  We had an awesome time and we’re very grateful for all of your support and encouragement.

We’d like to extend a huge round of thanks to our new friends at New Adventures in Sound Arts who very graciously let us present “The Sound is Watching You” at their awesome space!  Darren, Nadene, Mike, and Ian were all fabulously supportive and helpful hosts, and we really enjoyed being able to hear our work in octo-phonic sound!

We’d also like to give a big thank you to our friends at Interactive Arts and SODI Designs, we had a great time collaborating with them on “Icedrops”, and we hope that we’ll have more opportunities to work with them in the future!

But most of all we’d like to thank YOU for coming out to see our shows and for all your encouraging words and support over the last month. There is nothing quite as enjoyable as being able to share our work with you, and we’re thrilled that you all enjoyed it so much!

So what’s up next for SubZeroArts? We can’t say just yet, but rest assured that we’ve already started working on some new projects for you to check out, and we hope to have some new announcements for you soon.  In the meantime you can like us on Facebook, or follow us on Twitter to make sure that you’re kept in the loop!

Thanks again, we’ll be seeing you soon!

P.S. SubZeroArts is 100% artist-funded, so if you’d like to support our future work with a monetary donation, we would gladly accept any contribution you might like to make — large or small — with our utmost thanks and gratitude. Visit our donations page to find out more!

If you’re interested in seeing either of SubZeroArts’ current installations in Toronto or Ottawa, we’d just like to remind you that this weekend is your last chance to do so!  Both “The Sound is Watching You” and “Icedrops” end on Monday February 18th, so be sure to check them out if you haven’t already…

The Sound is Watching You” will be open this weekend at the NAISA Space at Artscape Wychwood Barns in Toronto, Ontario on Friday February 15 from 12 to 3pm, on Saturday February 16 from 10-3pm, and on Monday February 18 from 1 to 4pm. “The Sound is Watching You” is a surround-sound and visual experience that responds to audience participation, where audience movement is transformed into a symphony of constantly morphing and re-generating music and light. We’d love to see you there!

Icedrops” is on display this weekend until Monday February 18th as part of the IllumiNation: Outdoor Light Art Gallery at Winterlude 2013 in Ottawa, Ontario.  Co-presented by InteractiveArts, SODI Designs and SubZeroArts, “Icedrops” is an interactive light installation featuring a series of  suspended sculptures that instil a clean opaque architectural beauty during the day, and become bioluminescent light-art during the night. Be sure to dress warmly though, it can get pretty cold out there!

Art in Two Cities at Once

To say the last few weeks have been busy would be an understatement, but we’re very pleased that our installation  “The Sound is Watching You” at the NAISA Space in Toronto and our joint presentation with InteractiveArts and SODI Designs “Icedrops” at the IllumiNation display at Winterlude in Ottawa are both open!  It’s been quite a challenge putting things together for two installations in two cities at once, but we’re thrilled by all the support and encouragement you’ve given us over the last few weeks, and we couldn’t be happier that so many of you are getting the chance to enjoy what we do!

We always like to hear what you think of our work, so if you’ve made it out to see one (or both!) of the shows we’d love to hear what you thought of them! Be sure to send us any pictures or video you might have as well, we might even post them here if you feel like sharing…

If you’re around Toronto and you have the chance to stop by, “The Sound is Watching You”  is on display at the NAISA Space at Artscape Wychwood Barns in Toronto, Ontario, and  runs from January 18th to February 18th, 2013. “The Sound is Watching You” is a surround-sound and visual experience that responds to audience participation, where audience movement is transformed into a symphony of constantly morphing and re-generating music and light. We’d love to see you there!

If you’re in the Ottawa area, “Icedrops” is being presented from February 1st to 18th, 2013, as part of the IllumiNation: Outdoor Light Art Gallery at Winterlude 2013 in Ottawa, Ontario.  Co-presented by InteractiveArts, SODI Designs and SubZeroArts, “Icedrops” is an interactive light installation featuring a series of  suspended sculptures that instil a clean opaque architectural beauty during the day, and become bioluminescent light-art during the night. Be sure to dress warmly, it gets pretty cold out there!

So you’d think that with all this activity going on that we’d be planning on taking a break in the next few weeks after the shows are done.  You’d think that, wouldn’t you?  Actually we’re already planning our next event, and we can’t wait to tell you all about it!
