TheDailyCity.com Mobile Art Show #19 | Mark Baratelli's CarVersations

Our monthly art show is back! TheDailyCity.com Mobile Art Show is TONIGHT (January 20, 2011), 7pm - 9pm, at the corner of Orange and Pine in downtown Orlando. $1 donation. Our show is an official venue in the Downtown Arts District's Third Thursday gallery crawl and has been going strong since 2009.

This month's show is called "Mark Baratelli's CarVersations" and veers into performance art territory for the first time in Mobile Art Show history! This show is intended as a recurring series. Participants pay a $1 donation, get into a 1996 Chevrolet Cavalier and receive 5 minutes (no more) with a local person of note. What transpires can be deep conversation, awkward silence, The person is different each time the show takes place.

Our first person of note to test drive CarVersations is conceptual artist Brian Feldman.
