here's some more video from the upcoming sloss trailer. this is cast iron performance art from the 2009 National Conference on Cast Iron Art as Sloss Furnaces National Historic Landmark.
Industry to Art - Iron Performance from Alabama Public Television on Vimeo.
the trailer for alabama public television's doc about sloss furnaces is finally up. it is tentatively titled, "Industry to Art: The Sloss Furnace Legacy" but is more than likely subject to change. the trailer turned out pretty cool and you get a glimpse at some of the ridiculously beautiful images we got from different metal pours. i've talked a little bit about sloss' transformation from it's oppressive, negative past to it's current mecca-like state for the metal arts world in an older post. the documentary, basically, deals with this story. it's pretty awesome! check it out:
