THE CHOSEN ONE
The Chosen One is an interactive photographic installation consisting
of 21 panels of dye sublimation images, 21 feet in diameter, 7 feet
high with each panel structured by tubed aluminum. In order to view
the images, one must be selected and then enter the work, go to
its center and spin as the dancer had to turn in order to create
the aesthetic. The Chosen One is the lead dancer in the Nijinsky
ballet, "The Rite of Spring". Nijinsky was the father
of conceptual avant garde dance in the 20th Century and to me, its
finest choreographer. Art Beat, an arts program on PBS in Chicago,
has focused on this installation work with a short interview with
the artist, examining "The Nijinsky Mystique" and its
continuing influence on the 21st Century artists.
