CIT presents Cardburg 2012: The Super TrackJune 14 - August 12, 2012
Cardboard Institute of Technology (CIT), a team of Bay Area artists, is the driving force behind Cardburg. Established in 2007 by sculptor artist Joshua Short, CIT uses recycled cardboard and found materials to build enormous, site-specific installations that immerse audiences in a fantastic and entertaining world. Cardburg is a new work commissioned especially for the Bedford Gallery and CIT ups the ante with a low-powered micro radio station, live performances, broadcast events, video feeds and in-car cameras. Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines, and join us for this outrageous, high-octane display of twists and turns! Do not miss this one-time show!
Bedford Curator Carrie Lederer comments that, "CIT projects always incorporate aspects of the world we live in—from pop culture, history and myth to contemporary life. The artists are entrepreneurial in spirit, and bring an array of skills and talents to their projects, using high-tech/low-tech hybrids as a motto for construction. Each installation is a unique, humorous and thoughtful statement about our local and global community, and our attraction to large-scale, exhilarating public events."
