4D Flag

Per­for­ma­tive Exper­i­ments by the artist: The first 15 min­utes of each hour. Mini flags will be dis­trib­uted as part of a per­for­mance start­ing at 2pm (while sup­plies last).

Lind­sey Whit­tle​’s (Sparklezil­la) project ​“4D Flag” is an ongo­ing project with Cincin­nati artist Ben­jamin Cook and will fea­ture a dig­i­tal flag by Loraine Wible. Both Whit­tle and Cook have been explor­ing togeth­er what is and how to com­mu­ni­cate through inter­ac­tive flags. Cook and Whit­tle have been build­ing this col­lab­o­ra­tive flag lan­guage togeth­er since Novem­ber 2021, with Cook, a vex­il­lol­o­gist and con­tem­po­rary painter, giv­ing many com­pelling flag pre­sen­ta­tions to Whit­tle’s Class­es since 2019. Whit­tle was a lead teach­ing artist for the Cincin­nati Art­works HDC Flag pro­gram sum­mer 2020 and 2021 where she exhib­it­ed flag work with youth appren­tices. This will be the 3^rd vari­a­tion of ​“4D flag” since start­ing this project with Cook, and the first time installing it out­side, allow­ing the work to come alive with sun­light and wind. Whit­tle’s flags dig into the idea of team­work by explor­ing her 25 active col­lab­o­ra­tion lan­guages through her visu­al and cre­ative choic­es. Whit­tle and Cook have strong inter­ests in explor­ing col­or, lay­er, shape and col­lab­o­ra­tion that they look for­ward to shar­ing with audi­ences on Gov­er­nors Island.

This exhi­bi­tion from Res­i­den­cy Unlim­it­ed will take place in the sec­ond floor of KODA House, Colonels Row Build­ing 404B. Click here to learn more about Res­i­den­cy Unlimited.
