Asheboro, NC - The Randolph Arts Guild is set to host “Time Constraints” a unique 50-minute sound art experience by Invisible as part of the Sunset Cultural Series on Saturday, March 21st at 7 p.m. at the Sunset Theatre located at 234 Sunset Avenue. Tickets for the performance are $10 and are available in advance at the Randolph Arts Guild or at the door the night of while supplies last. Cash or check only at the door.
Invisible was founded by North Carolina artist Mark Dixon who recently gave a lecture at the Randolph Arts Guild. Mark Dixon is one part contemporary performance artist, one part mad-scientist-musician, and one part recycled re-invision-er. When describing the performance one could say that it is a Rube Goldberg like mechanical orchestra. According to RAG Executive Director Derrick Sides, “This will be unlike anything you’ve ever seen in the Sunset Theatre. You will leave amazed inspired and ready to disassemble your major household appliances.”
