Cast Down a film by Feral Fagiola & Andrew Marsh Shot in 4K. Listen at high volume. Iron casting sculptors and performance artists Andrew Marsh and Feral Fagiola perform at their BLDG 15 Studios with fellow artists Ari Berman, Jake Chrzan, Katie Gabbard, Gerry Masse, and Jim Wade. Amid the eerie light, foreboding shadows, and haunting groans of BLDG 15, dystopian introspection and spiritual uncertainty are artfully conjured. The Industrial Revolution-era architecture and grim brutality of this former foundry are contrasted with Marsh’s explosive iron-into-wood reaction molds. Feral’s lens treats viewers to an unsettling proximity with the perilous moments surrounding his cast iron creations. Cast Down’s haunting, concussive soundscape and imagery reveal the sensuality of the decaying factory inhabited by fiery effigies to the torment of healing. featuring Ariana Berman Jacob Chrzan Katelyn Gabbard Gerry Masse James Wade support by Sloss Furnaces Foundation Birmingham, Alabama Sculpture Trails Outdoor Museum Solsberry, Indiana Josephine Sculpture Park Frankfort, Kentucky Rivers of Steel Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania special thanks Gwen Chiu Jesse Blumenthal 2021 National Conference on Contemporary Cast Iron Art & Practices nccciap.com James Wade Farms Lexington, Kentucky filmed & recorded at BLDG 15 Studios Louisville, Kentucky former foundry of Henry Vogt Machine Company operated 1885-1978 photo courtesy of Lewis Meyer Lucky 7 Arts, LLC production lucky7arts.com Copyright 2021 Andrew Marsh & Feral Fagiola

Andrew Marsh is a Louisville, Kentucky based sculptor and grant writer. I've known him for many years since we first meet I believe during the Mid South Sculpture Alliance Conference in Atlanta, back in 2015, if I recall correctly. We have also worked together several times throughout the past few National Conference on Contemporary Cast Iron Arts and Practices hosted by SLOSS in Birmingham, AL. So it was great really getting to know more of his backstory and what motivates him. You follow him on Instagram @lucky.7arts Or find his work on his website, https://www.lucky7arts.com/ We also talked about Gerry Masse from Sculpture Trails. I believe we also mentioned Sculpture Trails last month so here is that website, https://www.sculpturetrails.com/ And Josephine Sculpture Park https://josephinesculpturepark.org/ I've met Melanie Van Houten but have never had a chance to visit the park. Hopefully, I can have Melanie and Gerry on sometime next year to discuss what it's like running sculpture parks.
