Performance Art by Megan Hildebrandt

Performance artist Megan Hildebrandt will present her "alternative
history lesson" Port Townsend style while in residency at Centrum.
Megan's work brings communities in touch with some aspect of their
own history by reenacting a part of that community's forgotten life
and times. While we don't know the subject of her Port Townsend
piece, we can show you what she did in a Baltimore neighborhood by
simply scrubbing marble steps. She was later interviewed about the
experience on Baltimore Public Radio. Megan will be in residence in
March, and we'll keep you posted on the details of her Port Townsend
performance.

Although Centrum Residents are not required to interact with the
community while here, it's always great when one of our artists or
writers finds a way to engage the public in their New Work.
Readings, open studios, recitals, and performance pieces like Megan's
add to the vibrancy and fun of the Residency Program here at Centrum.

Megan Hildebrandt

Historian/performance artist Megan Hildebrandt is currently in
residence creating yet another of her entertaining and historically
accurate Performance Art pieces. This performance will be an
invigorated, interactive exploration via PowerPoint and performance
of both the history and contemporary culture of Fort Worden. The
“Alternative History Lesson” PPT will include projections of
historically based drawings and photographs, with a healthy dose of
humor and contemporary, everyday life references.

Says Hildebrandt of the new work:
“It will be a remarkable opportunity to enjoy both some local history
and contemporary art. The performance will explore Fort Worden’s
multiple identities over the past hundred years as an active military
base, a juvenile detention facility, and as a state park. How would
John Lorimer Worden, the USS Monitor Commander for whom the Fort
was named, relate to the park as a Juvenile Facility, or as a tourist
attraction? Who are the people Fort Worden’s batteries and buildings
are named for? What was life like here at the Fort during the various
periods in its history?

I will also include the past and present of the “City of Dreams”, Port
Townsend. What was the role of the railroad in the destiny of the
city, and what are the industries that have fed the citizens of Port
Townsend, such as the imports of lumber from the port and the local
paper mill?”

To get an idea of Megan’s unique style, take a look at this 3 part
video recording of "The Rumors Are True!”… a performance/exhibit
that just wrapped up in Baltimore, Maryland.

Part 1 "The Rumors are True" Part 2 Part 3

The Port Townsend performance date and location are not yet confirmed.

gestures

April 2 --
April 18, 2009Opening Reception:
April 4th 5-8pm

M55 Art is pleased to present
"endangered gestures", an exhibition of recent works by Randee Silv, on view
April 2 through April 18, 2009. An opening reception will be held on Saturday,
April 4th from 5 till 8 p.m. Gallery hours are Wednesday through Saturday, 12
till 6 p.m.

With this most recent group of paintings, Silv brings our attention back to the very origins of painting while exposing the roots of our visual culture. These pieces are distinct in that they consider the process of image-making in a way that is both current and extraordinarily old. In “The Mind in the Cave: Consciousness and the Origins of Art,” David Lewis-Williams compares the controversial abstract marks in Upper Paleolithic cave paintings with entoptic forms that have been documented during altered states of consciousness. These zig-zags, dots, meandering lines and nested curves are what we all see on the edge of our vision.

It is within these most primordial moments, before these flickering forms congeal into recognizable imagery, that Silv finds parallels with her own work. She asks us, in viewing these paintings, to consider whether the concept of art may have been initially triggered by abstract rather than iconic imagery. And if we acknowledge this, these endangered marks could widen our dialogue with the transitional potentiality of abstract gesture.

Poem
by Yuko Otomo:
A new breath tapsInto the vast
ocean Of unforgotten gesturesIn order to dictate a drama on Art’s
OriginWithout dense plots nor anagrams
Yellow yellowing;Black
blacking;Void voiding;Line lining;Dot dotting;
In these (re)discovered Memories
of my being
Air is light
Without shadow shadowing
Stretching fullyTo
declare
The sacredness of
Color
