Installation of “Art at the Intersection of Technology and Tradition” at the Red Brick on Friday, March 6.<\/strong>

The final in-person interview I did on the art beat before the coronavirus shutdown was with the artist and curator Trace Nichols at the Red Brick Center for the Arts. It was Monday, March 9. We bumped elbows instead of shaking hands when I arrived and, in keeping with the public health advisories of the day, kept a little extra distance between us on our walkthrough of the show, which had been scheduled to open three days later.<\/p>\n

As we all know, everything changed in the hours and days to come as Aspen\u2019s public spaces began shuttering to stop the spread of COVID-19. That Thursday\u2019s opening of Nichols\u2019 curated \u201cArtists at the Intersection of Technology and Tradition\u201d was canceled, and soon after that the Red Brick itself was closed.<\/p>\n

But since then, the city-run nonprofit Red Brick has begun rolling out virtual versions of its program of art exhibition and education.<\/p>\n

\u201cTechnology and Tradition\u201d itself went virtual, with a 30-minute online video experience. It includes a walk-through of the show, narrated artist and process statement and detailed close-ups of the artworks, along with footage of the works being made.<\/p>\n
