OpenField Artists present: SURFACE UNDERGROUND this First Friday

These folks are the most exciting artistic thing happening in Missoula right now. They are amazing. If you are in town, and have the opportunity to attend SURFACE UNDERGROUND on Friday, make every effort.

This week, I’ll be featuring some writing I did upon first seeing them perform. Writing I did mainly to help me process for myself everything that was going on at the time. Incredible. Not to be missed.

As an interdisciplinary art collective, the Open field Artists experiment with themes that animate the exhibition space, using myth, diversity, and identity in relation to contemporary culture. We create experiences in a variety of performance spaces, utilizing improvisation, various artistic mediums, and the presentation of original artwork. This allows for the formation of a range of atmospheres intertwining and blurring the mundane into the mythical. Our mission is to move within the field and increase awareness by bringing the process of creation into the open.
