IMHO with Ligorano/Reese

Nora Ligorano and Marshall Reese in conversation with Heather Wagner. Topics: Current exhibition "Crater New York: A Lunar Drawing Contest" as well as other works by the "two-headed" artist duo.

Crater New York: a Lunar Drawing Contest

An installation of the moon with colonies created by participating artists. Contestants draw from the model using either a computer or pen and paper, and in the end, a jury of esteemed experts chooses the winner. The winner receives a plot of real estate on the moon.

Yu-Chin Tseng (Taiwan)

Mr. Tseng (Taiwan) creates pieces in film and video, as well as in fiction and poetry. His work explores feelings of isolation and of being invisible in an unknown world and has been included in numerous festivals throughout Taiwan and Asia, winning several important awards. In 2007 he was selected to represent Taiwan in Documenta 12 in Kassel, Germany. He has also created stage designs for several theater companies, and his design for the Taitung Theater Group’s production of Our Snake received Taiwan’s prestigious Golden Harvest Award.

Eric Siu (Hong Kong)

Eric Siu (Hong Kong) has been described as one of Hong Kong’s most accomplished new media artists. His interactive media projects demonstrate his thorough knowledge of the technical aspects of digital media, as well as his ability to deconstruct digital images in ways that are both enlightening and amusing.

Jean Shin (U.S.A./Korea)

Jean (USA/Korea) creates elaborate sculptures and site-specific installations that suggest imaginary communities through the use of accumulated cast-offs. Mary Ceruti writes, "Jean Shin uses discarded material (the excess, the forgotten, the no longer useful) in works that operate between abstraction and representation. Made from the remnants of contemporary urban life, Shin's sculptures form a sort of visual history and a social mapping."

Mafalda Santos (Portugal)

Mafalda Santos (Portugal). Organizational schemes, networks, interconnection and principles of scale and composition are determinant in Mafalda’s work. Expanded drawings on murals or ground works cull their information from computer interface, books and archives to create a simplified imagery that reflects “a moment/place in a mental or social structure of relations.” The artist also considers that they offer a comment on the specific context for which the work was produced.

Moira Ricci (Italy)

Moira Ricci (Italy). Central to Moira’s work is the world of family relationships, and the family home as the natural area in which these relationships are played out. Putting aside her own emotions, Ricci turns her own personal narrative into fertile ground for thinking about the world we live in and translating this into her photography and video.

Rashaad Newsome (U.S.A.)

Rashaad Newsome (USA). Rashaad’s videos, performances, sculptures, and photographs interrogate notions of cultural/ social signifiers as well as how they are formed. They also analyze the complexity of the desire for power and acceptance that is formative for those who are placed in a subaltern position. As Rashaad says “I feel that a large part of the process of identification, for one placed in this position, is folded into everyday life. I use things I see in everyday life in order to decipher this complex psychic structure”.

Hung Nguyen Manh (Vietnam)


Hung Nguyen Manh is an artist, a self-taught composer and an active participant in the “alternative” art scene in Hanoi. As an artist whose practice is driven by interdisciplinarity, his work investigates current symbology as opposed to a Vietnamese/Oriental aesthetic that reaches into the past for visual vocabulary.Mr. Nguyen’s residency at Location One is supported by the Asian Cultural Council.

Aoife Collins (Ireland)

Aoife Collin's (Ireland) interdisciplinary practice is shaped by recurrent themes of permutation, multiplicity, cultural paraphernalia and mass identification. Works are made out of existing materials, substances and structures that are transferred into new forms of narration. In her attempt to open up the realm of possibility, the artist pays close attention to the ability of objects to role-play and the extent of their mutability.

Kuba Bakowski (Poland)

Kuba Bakowski (Poland). Themes of overcoming gravitation and the exploration of physical limitations of one's body mark Kuba’s diverse body of work. As he investigates the confrontation between the real world and the artificial world generated by digital media, his approach is part utopian, part ironic, and is tinged with a perverse sense of humor.

Daniel Andersson (Finland)

Daniel Andersson (Finland). Fundamental questions about the world are a constant thread in Andersson’s work. The artist attempts to illustrate these complex questions in series of works developed over long periods of time. The metaphorical power of images is a compelling source for the artist, as is the impact of different mythologies and belief systems of our day.

Hermelinde Hergenhahn (Germany)

Hermelinde Hergenhahn's (Germany) drawing practice, which extends into the public space, has been refered to as “taking a line for a walk, but …a walk on the wild side – a persistent, jerky, scatological line whose erratic (and erotic) wanderings describe a world both comic and melancholic, quirky and unsettling…”. Displaced and off-center figures populate hundreds of small drawings. In her writings, films and installation work Hermelinde defines her approach as one of “critical nearness.”

Katia Kameli (France)

Katia Kameli (France) is a Franco-Algerian artist and filmmaker whose practice is marked by the exploration of multiplicity and the in-between. In her video, photography and sculpture work, the artist investigates intercultural spaces, intersecting identities and their construction. As she herself says: “Fluxes of people are automatically creating hybridisations, indeed new spaces, thoughts and situations.”

23 May 2007: Amanda McDonald Crowley – Eyebeam

Collaboration in New Media Art: Does collaboration constitute compromise, act as a catalyst, or infer complexity? There has been much debate in recent times around collaboration in new media art practice. Amanda McDonald Crowley, Executive Director of EYEBEAM Art and Technology center in New York, will raise questions, deliberate on the issues and propose some answers.

Painting, […]

16 May 2007: Richard Minsky, SLART(TM) : Art in Second Life

In Second Life there is a virtual art world where Artists, dealers, curators, collectors and critics are represented by “avatars,” animated characters which can look like anything from realistic humans or animals to cartoons or geometrical objects. At any given time 25-35,000 people are simultaneously occupying this Metaverse. There are over 500 art galleries, and the range of art varies from shopping mall kitsch to huge animated sculptural installations that defy the laws of terrestrial physics.

Santeri Tuori (Finland)

Santeri Tuori (Finland) As a filmmaker, video artist and photographer whose main interest lies in the exploration of portrait identity and its construction, Santeri’s work is centered on the relationships between portraiture, photographs and moving images.

Cecile Paris (France)

Cecile Paris (France) As an artist who works mainly with video and photography, Cecile’s practice is informed by the exploration of narrative and its potential in still and moving images.

Mariana Viegas (Portugal)

Mariana Viegas (Portugal) Mariana works mainly with photography and video, questioning the media and subverting reality. In the artist’s view, landscape is an entity which is transformed by our presence and which, in turn, transforms us. Mariana observes and records the daily rituals performed by people in natural environments which are developed within the urban habitat, and draws out of these situations possibilities of existing narratives.

Nayda Collazo-Llorens (United States)

Nayda Collazo-Llorens (United States) Nayda’s work in multiple media deals with issues of communication, accumulation and displacement. A combination of text, marks, objects, images, gestures or sounds are often structured in a nonlinear manner. The work invites the viewer to reflect on the complexities of mind, language and the fragmented nature of our lives through a process of perceiving and understanding what is inside and around us.

Lydia Venieri (Greece)

Lydia Venieri (Greece) Lydia is a multiple media artist whose work ranges from sculpture to installations incorporating painting, photography, video and the Internet. The fusion of mythological references with the everyday lies at the heart of her inspiration : “I create universes and landscapes where I project stories, conspiracy theories related to the media and mythological legends”.

Trine Nedreaas (Norway)

Trine Nedreaas (Norway) Primarily a video artist, Trine’s works portrays people who are unknown but extraordinary and ambitious individuals. She focuses on their talent, aspirations and on their often unachieved desires and distant life goals. Recent videos feature individuals performing their speciality in a very particular way and setting. The use of humor to strengthen a sense of unease and lack of fulfillment is characteristic of Trine’s approach. In the artist’s words, “I make films about wanting to be wanted”.

Wang Ya-Hui (Taiwan)

Wang Ya-Hui (Taiwan) Wang,Ya-hui is primarily a video and video installation artist. Her work is driven by the exploration of human consciousness and examines how hidden or conscious changes of “being” are triggered through illusion and imagination. Her installations often make apparent shifts of perception and the passage of one visible reality to another.

Mayumi Nakazaki (The Netherlands)

Mayumi Nakazaki (The Netherlands) Mayumi refers to herself as a product of “Japanese-style Westernization”. She is interested in the notion of the “self that exists and interplays in between parallels”. Her practice is a balance between creating fiction out of reality and trying to elevate reality to the rank of narrative. She focuses on sociological and ethnological issues with subjects that deal with disguise, uniformity, identity, gender and more recently with behavioural and conversational patterns between people.

Yoon-Young Park (Korea)

Yoon-Young Park (Korea) Trained as a traditional Oriental painter in Korea, Yoon-Young’s drawings and paintings integrate calligraphic and surrealistic methods of working into which the artist incorporates a wide range of contemporary cultural references ranging from fiction, documentary movies and plays to quiz sessions for the audience.

Yuki Okumura (Japan)

Yuki Okumura (Japan) Artist, writer and curator, Yuki Okumura probes the concept of identity and what makes the human “mind” and “self” unique. More recently, his art practice has expanded the realm of body art through the creation of discrete and precious works constructed from fingernails and saliva. Clearly intended to provoke, they retain a “trace of self” and exploit the uneasy tension between animate and inanimate. Another focus of investigation for Yuki is the development of connections between the banality of every day life with quantum theories, supernova explosions and the sublime.

Paololuca Barbieri (Italy)

Paololuca Barbieri (Italy) Paololuca’s projects investigate the boundaries between art and science, and foster synergies among a host of other disciplines (electronic music, lighting engineering, programming, drawing and video). The artist confronts these relationships with both analog and digital media. The transversal use of digital tools combined with an interdisciplinary approach lies at the heart of Paololuca’s practice.

Andrew Duggan (Ireland)

Andrew Duggan (Ireland) Andrew’s new media work and installations investigate the space between tradition (fact, folk/lore etc.) and contemporary space and time. He plays with cultural representations and perceptions and has presented many projects in the public domain. In Kerry, the Bán/Blanc series (2004) were projected onto a building reputed to have been prepared for the escape and arrival of Marie Antoinette. Andrew also frequently collaborates with dancers, musicians and cultural institutions.

Isabelle Ferreira (France)

Isabelle Ferreira (France) Isabelle’s work seems to prevail within that unlikely calm preceding the breaking storm. Her videos and sculptures - on occasion performance and installations- appear to leave time at a loose end: gesture and motion are slowed down and hidden rhythms revealed.

Geka Heinke (Germany)

Geka Heinke (Germany) Geka’s paintings depict everyday objects, such as wallpaper, lamps, floors and curtains. Isolated from their usual surroundings, the focus is on the serial structure of the objects and the tension that arises between spatiality and ornamental flatness. As perception and a layered reading of different spaces are simultaneously engaged, the artist’s loose, free-flowing technique guides the viewer into the depths of illusionistic space. Above all, the works transmit Geka’s viewpoint that our understanding of the world is ever more complex despite rapid technological and analytical advancement.

Simo Alitalo (Finland)

Simo Alitalo (Finland) Simo Alitalo studied philosophy and musicology at the University in Turku, Finland. He is currently working on his doctoral dissertation at the Academy of Fine Arts, Helsinki.

Leesa and Nicole Abahuni (U.S.A) Leesa and Nicole Abahuni are artists and twins from New York who collaborate on the investigation of the senses and the exploration of the interrelationships between the visual, aural, and tactile realms.

Virginie Yassef (France)

Virginie Yassef (France) Yassef’s videos, photographs, sculptures and installations reveal the poetry of everyday life, emphasizing the subtle gap between perception and reality. Strangeness and often even the supernatural surfaces when and where one least expects it.

Alessandro Nassiri (Italy)

Alessandro Nassiri (Italy) Alessandro started with photography and is now involved in a wide range of media from video to balloons and chocolate. He has been defined as an artist “who works for happiness, using metaphors of everyday objects”. Amazement, irony, and semantic transformation of objects and facts are inherent to his practice.

Agnieszka Kalinowska (Poland)

Agnieszka Kalinowska (Poland) Kalinowska’s multifaceted video and installation practice investigates the observation of human behavior in extreme conditions and states of emotional and psychic tension. Her work makes visible the condensation of energy and the hidden potential revealed in such situations, such as fear or hope, in a contemporary social and political context.

So Youn Jeong (Korea)

So Youn Jeong (Korea) In her videos and installations, So Youn Jeong’s explores aesthetic issues relating to time and space, memory and identity. Recent works investigate the radical impact on the human spirit of an era driven by the obsession for speed in different times and spaces. The interactive nature of art constitutes another area of interest for the artist.

Teresa Henriques (Portugal)

Teresa Henriques (Portugal). Henriques’s work revolves around the understanding of the concept of “Perception”. The guidelines of her research are defined by drawing, geometry, philosophy and optical phenomena. The resulting body of work consists of drawing machines and contemplative objects in space highlighting the relationship between artwork and human body.

Krist Gruijthuijsen (Netherlands)

Krist Gruijthuijsen (Netherlands) Alan (a memoir), 2007 In Gruijthuijsen’s body of work, the in-depth investigation of personas such as Alan Abel’s underscores the artist’s interest in the relation between construction of myth, its process, and the fluctuating role of the contemporary artist. In this film, slow environmental shots of Abel’s current surroundings support the voice of the 82-year-old protagonist as he reads a letter that he wrote at age 16 describing his life so far and his future goals. This narration is followed by the reading of his obituary, recalling Abel’s last fictional action, when he placed his obituary in the New York Times. Gruijthuijsen’s practice is centered on the structuring of the artist within the curatorial position. As artist and curator, his work examines from a historical perspective the role of the artist and the necessity to produce an image, or how an artist positions himself in relation to a curator (or visa versa). The recourse to archives and mythologized or mystified forms are amongst the strategies he employs.

Jeanette Doyle (Ireland)

Jeanette Doyle (Ireland). This triptych work addresses Doyle’s ongoing interest in the St. Patrick’s Day parade and how an event of this nature can segue into militarism. Framed against the entrance to the Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art, the video displayed in the central television features the parade in 2007 as it draws to an end. On the adjacent TVs, the artist has painted the image of a policeman that she photographed as he stuck out his tongue at the 2006 parade. A DVD of a solid color plays behind each painted television, green on one side and blue on the other. This new work reinforces the notion of the rendering of the self into spectacle, the Disney-fication and remote construction of National identity. Jeanette Doyle (Ireland) earned critical acclaim with her first post-graduate exhibition, winning the Overall Prize at ev+a ‘95, curated by Maria de Corral. Since then, her practice has concerned itself, often playfully, with the interrogation of a number of different disciplines and stances. Her work has been exhibited widely both in Ireland and abroad; including Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts, Paris; Museum of Modern Art, Croatia; Brisbane Institute of Modern Art; Australian Centre for Contemporary Art; the ICA and Studio Voltaire, London; Dublin City Gallery, the Hugh Lane and the Crawford Municipal Art Gallery, Cork. Doyle has also held solo exhibitions at the Nordic Institute for Contemporary Art, Helsinki; Limerick City Gallery of Art; City Arts Centre, Dublin; Fenderesky Gallery, Belfast and Temple Bar Gallery, Dublin. In 2003 and 2005 she showed at Eurojet Futures at the Royal Hibernian Academy, Dublin.

ArtBots: The Robot Talent Show

Location One was proud to host the regional NYC show as part of the science+art festival 2006 this fall. The show featured works old and new by eight New York artists who have appeared in previous ArtBots shows.

Cliff Evans – The Road To Mount Weather

This three-channel moving image installation (15 minute loop) is a personal artifice assembled from ideas and images found across the socio-environment of the Internet. Its form is reminiscent of historic epics as represented in cinema and in grand panoramic paintings, while also mimicking the ubiquitous technology used for website banner advertisements.

Lukasz Skapski: Recent Video Works and Photographs

Skapski’s recent photographic and video work concerns cultural and political issues common to many national groups: the emotional ambivalence of women and nursing mothers, people’s views of the environment in which they live, the legacy of Communist practices in farming communities, as well as the practice and tradition of film itself. In all his work, the artist demonstrates an uncanny ability for capturing people’s circumstances on film and video.

LIGHT WAVES live in NEW YORK

A concert-performance conceived as a one-night audio-video event. The project explores the relationship between light and sound, looking for the natural correspondence between these two elements, between visible and invisible, playing with their frequencies.

International Residency Program 2005-2006 – Group Show I

On Thursday, February 9th, Location One presented the first of two Spring exhibitions showcasing new work developed by artists from Italy, France, Germany, Korea, and Portugal who are participating in the 2005-2006 International Residency Program. Featured works represent a diverse range of artistic approaches.

Krzysztof Czyzewski from The Borderland Foundation

A living experiment in cross-cultural relations with foundation Chairman Krzysztof Czyzewski. About Czyzewski, Gail Kimberling of the New York Times has written that he “has based his life’s work on pushing the limits of borders, whether it involves going beyond the acceptable, bringing the past to the present, or bridging one country or culture with another.” His presentation will include footage from documentary work generated by the program.

Somnambulic – Martin Beauregard

Location One presented Somnambulic, the first New York solo exhibition by Canadian artist Martin Beauregard. This new body of work highlights persistent themes for the artist revolving around the relation between dream, illusion, and reality. It also produces a “fantastical strangeness” that is characteristic of Beauregard’s work, as he explores modes of perception through play and creation.

*IMHO* with Heather Wagner on Slowscan and Telaesthetic

Open Stitch

15 artists spent seven days at Location One working intensely and in restricted conditions to produce wearable creations with only the tools and materials provided to them. A cross between art and fashion, the project temporarily removes the gallery from the appointed function of “showing” and moves it to the world of artistic production, raising questions about the circumstances, both physical and mental, of the creative process.
