OFF THE STRIP
September 30th - October 28th, Gallery Installation
October 14th - 17th, New Genres Festival
 Off-site locations: The Onyx Theater, Aruba Showroom, Sci-Fi Center and Insurgo Theater.
In spring of 2009, The CAC introduced Off the Strip: Two Weeks of Video and Performance Art. The event featured the work of twenty emerging and mid-career artists and artist groups in seven evenings of live performance and video screenings and multiple and alternating installations at the gallery. The first annual Off The Strip featured artists from around the globe and the open-ended call drew video and performance works that navigated gender and identity politics, institutional critique, relational aesthetics and explorations into technology, social networking and the body-psyche. This year’s Off the Strip 2010 will present similar performance and video events by local and international artists creating work especially relative in the context of Las Vegas over a four-day festival that will include an opening night after party, a panel discussion and closing party. Please visit our website in September for participants, schedule and ticket information.

Indian Circumvented, Natalie M. Ball
November 13th – January 7th, Opening Reception November 13th 6-9
 “Indian Circumvented” is a multimedia installation and solo-exhibition by Natalie M. Ball, dealing with images of race and representation in Native American contemporary art. As an emerging artist from the Modoc and Klamath Tribes of southern Oregon, Ball examines the contemporary discourses that shape America’s indigenous identities and questions the normalized expectations of Native American identity. Ball’s installation weaves together a collection of tribal history and individual experiences with contemporary misrepresentations and expectations of culture and identity.
