[ART/PARTY] Thirteen mostly local artists will be showing off their moves on the walls of Cafe Marc Aurel’s in a group art show in Wailuku this weekend. Young artist Hannah Shimabukuro used photos of student war protesters and print process that is at least 150 years old to convey “movement,” the show’s theme. In muted tones of blue and brown, her piece communicates the shifting of ideals. David Whitney, a repeat contributor to the cafe’s art shows, had yet to decide on a specific piece to display, but said the challenge of this show is to create something that implies physical movement without actually moving. Scott Olsen’s drawing suggests what he calls, “the marks of occurrence” or the invisible lines of energy left behind after an action. “This drawing was inspired by a crumpled brown paper bag that had been repeatedly stepped on. Like a paper car crash,” he told me. For a group show like this one, interpretations of the theme are bound to be varied. I’m not sure how all of it will come together, but one guarantee is that attendees will spend an evening in true Cafe Marc Aurel’s style: with art on the walls, wine in the glasses and sophistication in the air. All the artwork on display will be for sale, and none will be priced higher than $199. Curator Katherine Godwin of Hui Press Publications promises a rad soundtrack for your listening pleasure and much remarkable artwork that challenges the geometric boundaries of visual art. Prepare to be moved! Admission is free. [JESSICA ARMSTRONG]
