Javelin's Canyon Candy Now on View (Tues.-Fri., noon- 5pm) The Clocktower Gallery's current exhibition features a large screen viewing theater for the 16-minute film by Mike Anderson and Javelin alongside a winding walk through a maze of life size dioramas including a wind-washed cabin, termite hills and cactus fields with glimpses of coyotes, campsites, and lawless hijinx. Javelin has created a multi-channel surround-sound environment embedded in Anderson’s set with sounds of crickets, howling winds, mysterious voices, and drifting melodies. See Rebecca Smeyne's pictures and write up at Paper Magazine.
