Live performance - Cyanotype
The Big Free Picture is a multi-disciplinary portrait of a working-class family swept up in the excitement of Northwest Arkansas’s growth. A humorous, yet complex moment of truth is captured in this unique family photo taken at the local Ramada Inn.
Using photography, storytelling, song, video and performance, this installation wrestles with the nature of living across the tracks from the American dream. Through the deconstruction and reconstruction of the portrait, Rumwolf explores assorted histories and possible futures tied to both his story and to the story of the region. The audience is invited to listen to the score, read the short story behind the family photo, and join the artist in a series of live activations throughout the exhibition.
Free, no tickets required.
The Big Free Picture is organized and curated by Cynthia Post Hunt, Curator of Performance
