The Asheville Art Museum is excited to announce that 12
artists have been selected to have their work exhibited in Prime Time:
Second Annual New Media Juried Exhibition, which opens April 25 in the
Museum’s New Media Gallery and runs through August 31, 2014. In January of this
year, the Museum announced an open call to North Carolina, South Carolina and
Tennessee artists working in single channel, screen-based new media, including
video art, experimental animation and time-based media. More than 50 submissions
were received, of which 12 were chosen as finalists. The selections represent
just a sampling of the broad variety of works that fall into this category of
contemporary art.
The 12 selected artists are:
- Heather Freeman, Charlotte, NC
- Nathan Halverson, Columbia, SC
- Pete Hurdle, Charlotte, NC
- Peter Kusek, Asheville, NC
- Mary Anna LaFratta, Cosby TN
- Daniel Lowe, Asheville, NC
- Frank McCauley, Sumter, SC
- Anna Norton, Highlands, NC

A preview screening and reception for Prime Time will take place in conjunction with Moogfest on Friday, April 25 at 5:00 p.m. in the Museum’s upper theatre (advance registration is required). Following the opening, the New Media Gallery will offer daily screenings of the works by the 12 finalists. The videos are played in a loop that lasts for about one hour.
This exhibition was organized by the Asheville Art Museum, and co-curated by David Teng Olsen, New Media Artist and Assistant Professor of Art at Wellesley College; Benjamin Funke, New Media Artist and Visiting Professor of Art at Humboldt State University; and Candace Reilly, Asheville Art Museum. Prime Time: Second Annual New Media Juried Exhibition is sponsored by Moogfest.
