Born out of a series of events hosted in the apartments of various Light members, Synthspiration has now made its way into the gallery space. The Synthspiration series started with Synthspiration I, held to celebrate the launch of Joseph Vargas' website, as well as the inspiration for the name: Synthspiration.
What exactly is Synthspiration, you ask? In the words of Joseph Vargas himself,
"It's the feeling you get when you hear that nasty melody in your favorite hook or when your favorite beat drops. It's that photograph or painting you think about when you're at a stoplight. It's trying your favorite food for the first time...Joseph inspired by synthesizer? Boom! Synthspiration...Synthspiration is also collaboration. I've had the pleasure of working on creative projects with some very talented friends and I wanted a website where I could share these collaborations with others."
The Synthspiration events might best be described as some combination of art opening / dance party / film-screening / live music event / slam poetry reading / ... They are really whatever we want them to be, as well as a time and place for friends to get together and share their own "synthspiration." Synthspiration II followed Synthspiration I, and now we're excited to invite you to be a part of Synthspiration III.
In the spirit of collaboration, The Light Gallery is pairing with Studio of the Arts (sota) Art Studio & Residency in Annapolis, MD to host two events, one at The Light Gallery and one at sota. Synthspiration III (pt. 1) will be on Saturday Feb. 12 from 7 - 11pm at sota and Synthspiration III (pt. 2) will be the following Saturday Feb. 19 from 7 - 11pm at The Light Gallery. We would love for you to join us at one (or both!) of these events!
