HMCS Major Siddarth Saikia at The Soap Factory
Thursday, November 17, 7 p.m.
Siddarth Saikia will show an expanded version of Waterbody, a multi-channel video installation created earlier this year. Using projected underwater footage of patients being guided through therapeutic exercises in a pool, Waterbody creates an immersive environment by the arrangement of four screens in a square, which allows audiences to move in and out of the cube. As audience members explore the installation, their shadows are incorporated into the video's moving images via the arrangement of the screens. Waterbody's second showing at Workhorse will expand the original work from two channels to four, and introduces atmospheric sound as a new element of the installation.

________________________________________________________________________________________
Located in the former National Purity Soap Company building -- a historic, 48,000-square-foot warehouse on the riverfront near the birthplace of Minneapolis -- The Soap Factory is the third-largest space for contemporary art in Minneapolis/St Paul, and one of the largest devoted to emergent practice in the USA. We are committed to experimentation and risk-taking, and provide local, national, and international artists with a unique showcase for sculpture, installation, painting, performance, photography, film, and video. In turn, we offer audiences a real and immediate experience of the arts, encouraging a wider understanding of and appreciation for artists and their work.
