Love Party

October 23rd, 2015

Denver artist, Esther Hernandez’s Blind Date will delight and interact with visitors with four blindfolded, costumed individuals circulating the gallery in search of their other… will they find a coupling?

Hernandez describes her work as such: Learning comes from playing and playing keeps us in touch with the beauty and mystery of life. Synchronistic, vivvid and bizarre moments, dreams, myth, ritual, surrealism, Kaprow's happenings and the idea of social sculpture are all inspirations that are evident in her creations. You will find Hernandez working with people in public spaces, orchestrating or making a living collage of people, events and actions. She studied at University of Colorado at Denver and has performed around the local music scene with her solo flute and drum project, Astral Glamour. To quote Rudolf Steiner, "We are fully human only while playing, and we play only when we are human in the truest sense of the word."

The remainder of the evening will help visitors get in the mood of love with a performance by Sur Ellz.  A rising star in the Denver Hip Hop and R & B scene, Sur Ellz is a 23-year-old singer, songwriter and producer hailing. With a futuristic neo-soul appeal, he looks up to the ingenious minds of Pharrell, Timbaland, J Dilla, Maxwell, Prince, & Stevie Nicks. Telling relatable stories about modern struggle and human interaction through the different dimensions of audio soundscaping, Sur Ellz expresses raw emotion through the various realms of music and art.
