Artist Craig Collorusso, in conjunction with his exhibit opening at Art Center Sarasota Thursday, Nov. 7, will install temporary sound exhibits around Sarasota this week
The SUNBOXES droned a soft melody of notes from a Bb 6 guitar chord. A blanket of clouds loomed over Palm Ave. Garage’s head. As they hover above, the boxes go silent. But Fuzíon Dance Artists improvised, instead of to the sound the 20 boxes create from solar energy, to the wind.
“Sometimes in life you don’t get what you want,” Craig Colorusso, artist responsible for the temporary exhibit, says with a laugh. “This project has made me become very patient.”
Arkansas-based Colorusso installs temporary exhibits around the nation — he’s trying to visit every state. His Sun Boxes project will be on display at various locations around Sarasota through Thursday, and he’ll return Jan. 1 through 3 for a second tour of Sarasota.
There’s no ideal setting, as it’s specific to the sun and shadows at each site. However, sunlight is necessary for making the boxes sound.
Colorusso’s separate art and sound installation will be on display inside of Art Center Sarasota, CUBEMUSIC, will be on display through Jan. 3 at Art Center Sarasota, 707 N. Tamiami Trail.
CUBEMUSIC and three other exhibitions open Thursday, Nov. 7. A reception will take place from 5 to 7 p.m.
