Sunday's Ripple Effect

Maiden Alley Cinema was the site of one of the most fun art openings I've been to in awhile — Ripple Effect, created and organized by our beautiful French/Swiss LowerTown artist-in-residence Corinne Spielewoy. That's her, in front of one of the show's many gorgeous pieces — this one by Freda Fairchild. You can read all about the show on iList Paducah, but the general idea was that Corinne would create a piece and have other artists create pieces in response to hers, and more artists, like the fab Nikki D. May (above) create pieces in response to those. Here's Corrine with Ruth Badgett and her pieces — 25 artists, I think, ended up participating in the program — the art was just awesome. I wish I'd taken more photos, but you can see close ups on iList Paducah. There was, of course, way-fun music.... Dancing with hottie poet Niaz Khadem.... Super cute Gabe Camacho with son Sebastian.... And the childhood game of "Telephone"... ...which served as an inspiration for the project. And because art inspires art, everyone got in on the act by contributing to a group project. Merci beaucoups to Corinne for visiting us! She'll be in Paducah until Jan. 1, so if you haven't met her, just send an email to the //';l[1]='a';l[2]='/';l[3]='<';l[4]=' 109';l[5]=' 111';l[6]=' 99';l[7]=' 46';l[8]=' 101';l[9]=' 99';l[10]=' 110';l[11]=' 97';l[12]=' 105';l[13]=' 108';l[14]=' 108';l[15]=' 97';l[16]=' 115';l[17]=' 116';l[18]=' 114';l[19]=' 97';l[20]=' 104';l[21]=' 97';l[22]=' 99';l[23]=' 117';l[24]=' 100';l[25]=' 97';l[26]=' 112';l[27]=' 64';l[28]=' 111';l[29]=' 102';l[30]=' 110';l[31]=' 105';l[32]='>';l[33]='\"';l[34]=' 109';l[35]=' 111';l[36]=' 99';l[37]=' 46';l[38]=' 101';l[39]=' 99';l[40]=' 110';l[41]=' 97';l[42]=' 105';l[43]=' 108';l[44]=' 108';l[45]=' 97';l[46]=' 115';l[47]=' 116';l[48]=' 114';l[49]=' 97';l[50]=' 104';l[51]=' 97';l[52]=' 99';l[53]=' 117';l[54]=' 100';l[55]=' 97';l[56]=' 112';l[57]=' 64';l[58]=' 111';l[59]=' 102';l[60]=' 110';l[61]=' 105';l[62]=':';l[63]='o';l[64]='t';l[65]='l';l[66]='i';l[67]='a';l[68]='m';l[69]='\"';l[70]='=';l[71]='f';l[72]='e';l[73]='r';l[74]='h';l[75]='a ';l[76]='<'; for (var i = l.length-1; i >= 0; i=i-1){ if (l[i].substring(0, 1) == ' ') output += "&#"+unescape(l[i].substring(1))+";"; else output += unescape(l[i]); } document.getElementById('eeEncEmail_ENieXtQx9h').innerHTML = output; //]]> ">Paducah Arts Alliance and they'll make the connection.
