Kelley A Meister creates site-specific time-based media installations that merge spontaneity, accessibility, and a hand-crafted aesthetic. In Seducing Those Who Are Afraid, Kelley’s journey for self-approval invites the audience to explore their shared vulnerabilities by encouraging full audience participation. A chorus of Kelleys fills the space as confessions of fear and questions of love and safety are asked and answered.
As of today, January 7, 2010, I still have no idea what I will make. I’ve had several false starts, multiple returns to the drawing board, many conversations, and an overwhelming fear that this will never work. I’m assuming that given another few months, it will all congeal and you will actually see a full and comprehensive show. But I have doubt. Fear that I won’t get it together. That it won’t come together, it will flop. Fear that you won’t even like it: all of it, some of it, even a small fraction. I’m facing that fear. Maybe I will overcome. Maybe I’ll turn out to be right. Maybe this will all come out wrong. Or just as I planned it.
