"Shooting Gallery" - Jamie Burmeister - Nicolaysen Art Museum

"Shooting Gallery" is a new site-specific installation for Jamie Burmeister's Nicolaysen Art Museum exhibition of the same name. It presents four projected animations of the artist's family (his wife, son, daughter and family dog). Each member of the family is shown walking around the gallery with a BB gun in their hand. When the viewer comes to the center of the gallery and pulls the cord, the figures turn, face the viewer and shoot their gun in the direction of where the viewer is standing, while the dog barks in the background. Rhythmic sounds are heard overhead as the BB's strike ordinary cooking bowls hung above. The bowls were chosen because of the pitch and tone produced when struck. The shooting and barking produces a Westminster Chime rhythm, which is a famous chime melody used in many grandfather clocks.
