The Crappy Magic Experience 2018 Exhibition Documentary!
The Silo Room @ Track One
Friday, November 30 & Saturday, December 1
The Crappy Magic Experience is Nashville's original found object & video art-based interactive exhibition.
The 2018 show was a two-night interactive event featuring a retail-style exhibition of objects and videos contributed by numerous artists, facilitated by a system of barcode-scanning kiosks.
Contributing Artists:
Aaron Cowan, Abbey Skojec, Ashley Gross, Beth Reitmeyer, Blair McMillan, Casey Pierce, Chris Ammons, Claire Bloomfield, Corinne Owens, David Hellams, David King, David Lisbon III, Dylan Pew, Erica Ciccarone, Graci Phillips-Wilson, Hizofo Tyskie, Jaime Raybin, Jon Sewell, Katie Straughn, Kayla Burnett, Mali Hamilton, Matt Christy, Meagen Crawford, Mia Rollins, Naomi Bartlett, Osvaldo Gonzalez, Ryan O'Hare, Sam Dunson, Sarah Manser, Shelby Adams, Sophia Gordon-Stevens, Zac Holbrook, and Turnip Green Creative Reuse
This year we also celebrate the return of bins full of stuff you can dig around in and photograph. Now they're shoppable... but you may have to haggle!
And we'll round out the December 1st Art Crawl closing with a Crappy Magic Benefit Auction in support of Nashville's Turnip Green Creative Reuse. That's 9:30pm Saturday, Dec 1!
The Crappy Magic Experience has been a popular fixture at the Nashville Art Crawl since 2016's inaugural show at Seed Space. Both that show and the 2017 sequel event at Abrasive Media earned "Best of Nashville" honors in the Nashville Scene. Crappy Magic Magazine booths and Experience kiosks have also sprung up recently at the Nashville Flea Market and art book fairs in Cincinnati and New York.
