2018 Crappy Magic Experience @ Track One
The Silo Room @ Track One
Friday, November 30 & Saturday, December 1, 2018
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.
This year we also celebrated the return of bins full of stuff for digging around and making pictures. Now they're shoppable... but guests had to haggle for their favorite finds! We also introduced a sand tray, providing a malleable table-top landscape for guests to craft more elaborate narratives with Crappy Magic's artifacts.
We rounded out the December 1st Art Crawl closing with a Crappy Magic Benefit Auction in support of Nashville's Turnip Green Creative Reuse.
The Crappy Magic Experience has been a popular fixture at the Nashville Art Crawl since 2016's inaugural show at Seed Space. Crappy Magic exhibitions earned "Best of Nashville" honors from critics in the Nashville Scene in 2016, 2017, and 2019.
