Hanging in There

2009-09-27T14:25:00.000-07:00

Travelling Blog Australia September 2009We arrived in Airlie beach in the middle of the biggest dust storm ever attributed to global warming, the sky filling with red dust from the countries huge interior where only wild camels roam.The first day I went with my brother, who is studying Buddhism, to a tree house set in the hillside. we were to learn about bells and their healing powers. An elderly woman with a german accent and a tea towel wrapped around her head led my brothers wife to a pile of cushions on which she lay and was surrounded by bells of all sizes. The small bells heal the head and the larger the lower chakras. After this peaceful ringing of chrystal bells we picked up pamphlets on how we could heal sessions and made our way to the tea house where, hanging from a rope by his neck was a teddy bear, supposedly a play mate for the dog. Well, My brother who travels everwhere with Black Bear, whose very scarf has been touched by the Dia Llama himself set to untie and free the bear.I guess a good title would be HANGING IN THERE....Take care people.love Jo Tuck

Waves of Mu By Brian Staker- City Weeky

2009-04-06T19:17:00.000-07:00

You’ve heard the saying, “Talking about music is like dancing about
architecture.” What about dancing about the architecture of the
brain? Former U.S. Ski Team member Amy Caron has plunged
headlong into the field of neuroscience, but from the point of view
of an artist, helping to initiate the emerging genre of “artscience,”
which merges the two disciplines to create fertile new
cross-pollinations.

From an art installation two years ago at the Women‘s Art Center
here, Caron’s project Waves of Mu—based on newly discovered
“mirror” neurons in the brain, cells that aid in social interaction—
has grown into a multimedia dance piece that places the audience
inside the workings of the cranium. Small groups of audience
members are first let into a room in their socks to explore the
interior environment physically. Then, in the theater proper,
Caron as mad scientist with lab coat and clipboard directs her
“research team” of performers.

The main stage extends into the audience, and the work is all about
connectivity. The mirror neurons appear to provide a neurological
basis for social connection and mirroring others’ behavior, and a
whole host of human interactions might be explained by this
burgeoning branch of brain-tacular barnstorming.

This Salt Lake City premiere takes the show full circle from a
sojourn to New York City beginning in August 2008, and it has been
commissioned by the Room Project of Performance Space 122, and
receives support from the National Performance Network.

Performance Art by Megan Hildebrandt

2009-03-25T14:35:00.001-07:00

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

2009-03-25T14:31:00.000-07:00

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.

randee silvendangered
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

Iao PROJECTS and The Conference Room Gallery at Meeting <2.2>

2009-01-16T20:30:00.001-08:00

Park City, UT. January 9, 2009 -- The Conference Room Gallery and Iao PROJECTS will be co-hosting the construction of an exhibition space built entirely out of snow called the Temporary Contemporary Snow Gallery. This will be the first time any attempt to construct a gallery out this particular molecular state rather than completely solid ice. The goal is to create negative space out of the positive using the physical snow that is abundant within the Utah area during the winter months.

Keeping within the spirit of the Sundance Film Festival, both galleries feel that exhibiting the works in such a way allows for a deeper interpretation as to how art relates to nature as well as its underlying process. Having such cutting-edge works displayed within the snow juxtaposes the idea of a spontaneously built environment while adapting to nontraditional architecture and materials.

Unlike an art fair setting where curated galleries obtain a pre-set amount of space and thus are confined to constraints or working within the allotted size, using snow enables flexibility and opportunity for changing the surroundings while retaining the integrity of the structure for this conceptual art project. Entire hotels, bars, and cafes have been constructed out of ice but never has a contemporary art gallery displayed works within the context of snow.

Both, The Conference Room Gallery and Iao PROJECTS, will be featuring artists’ works that are sustainable within these conditions and are constructed or created site-specific for the intent of exhibiting their work within such an unusual environment. This temporary installation will become the most provocative collaboration between landscape and traditional artworks, challenging the norms of the current art world.

Meeting <2.2> “In the Freezer” at the Temporary Contemporary Snow Gallery will be pushing the boundaries of the idea of a gallery as form of literal white cube.

Artist list available upon request.

No snow will be harmed in the construction of this innovative temporary gallery.

Free.

With paintings, performances, and other creative investigations, Resident Artists Christine Sajecki and Megan Hildebrandt decode the changing dynamics of their neighborhood habitat. Dressed like a 1940’s washer woman, Hildebrandt has spent months asking residents if she can polish their marble steps, gently shocking her “audience” into reevaluating their sense of community through a simple act of generosity and humor. With a cornucopia of sweetly irreverent paintings, Hildebrandt pays tribute to long gone local personalities – from the ship captain who slept in Patterson Park at night, to the brothers who founded Haussner’s restaurant. Christine Sajecki’s encaustic paintings reflect a more poetic sensibility. Hazy buildings with wire antennas loom behind layers of beeswax, while images of Peruvian and Mexican ruins, East European alphabets, and Catholic imagery are overlaid and assembled to evoke a community where the history of place and the histories of people are interwoven, and where generations of immigrants rub shoulders every day.

At the opening, Megan Hildebrandt serves up a tongue-in-cheek history lesson, via a power point stroll through Baltimore lore.

Karcz's Statement About His Work

2009-01-05T06:45:00.000-08:00

Is it difficult to be an artist in the era of post-Postmodernism? Is
there any room for art in the crowd of icons, designs, and ideologies? The
development of new technologies is connected with the development of mass
media. Willing or not, we should accept the new aspects of the reality.
Contemporary wars basically are medial. Of course, people die not only on
the screens of our television sets. On fact, they die not only in wars,
but, also, during sporting games and popular street parades. Accidents
happen to people because of their lack of imagination. We not only are the
witnesses of events, but, also, the participants.
Karcz is interested in different aspects of the reality. She concentrates
on social issues and doesnt like conventional forms. He likes
provocation. The series of his graphic pictures reveals her interest in
such subjects as riot and heavenl peace, fun or love/loveless.
Keywords: the era of post-Postmodernism . But the artist always says :
what does it mean, i dont know, really...

Opens Sat Jan 17, 5-7pm. Performance 6pm. On view Jan 17-Feb 21. Free.

With paintings, performances, and other creative investigations, Resident Artists Christine Sajecki and Megan Hildebrandt decode the changing dynamics of their neighborhood habitat. Dressed like a 1940’s washer woman, Hildebrandt has spent months asking residents if she can polish their marble steps, gently shocking her “audience” into reevaluating their sense of community through a simple act of generosity and humor. With a cornucopia of sweetly irreverent paintings, Hildebrandt pays tribute to long gone local personalities – from the ship captain who slept in Patterson Park at night, to the brothers who founded Haussner’s restaurant. Christine Sajecki’s encaustic paintings reflect a more poetic sensibility. Hazy buildings with wire antennas loom behind layers of beeswax, while images of Peruvian and Mexican ruins, East European alphabets, and Catholic imagery are overlaid and assembled to evoke a community where the history of place and the histories of people are interwoven, and where generations of immigrants rub shoulders every day.

At the opening, Megan Hildebrandt serves up a tongue-in-cheek history lesson, via a power point stroll through Baltimore lore.

How to Have a Mindful Holiday...

2008-12-03T17:06:00.000-08:00

It seems we're in a recession and we could all use a little assistance this year. I've been working with a very creative author, Barbara E. Kilikevicius. She's written an eBook called "A Mindful Christmas". It's been talked about on BookStorePeople.com and she has an interview onBlogTalkRadio.

This book offers great ideas and projects to make your holiday less about spending and more about creating... bringing the spirit of the season into your home. Visit her site for a free Holiday Blues Guide and a chance to read more about this amazing book.

Happy Holidays,
