The performance artist in conversation with Jovana Stokic. Questions addressed: how to 'document' live actions? Should they even be documented?

Artist talk by Jill Magid. While on a research trip, Magid witnessed a mysterious shooting on the steps of the Texas State Capitol by Fausto Cardenas. Nothing is known of Cardenas’s motivations, but his gesture of shooting into the sky on the steps of the capitol, where he knew he would be immediately captured, reads symbolically as both tragic and poetic. Magid connects his action to Faust, an obvious but ultimately fruitful and complex avenue of exploration, as Goethe’s nineteenth-century drama traffics in similar themes of tragedy, psychology, and futility.

Location One presents the first of two exhibitions showcasing new work developed during their residencies by eight artists participating in the 2006-2007 International Residency Program.

The 28098th dorkbot-nyc meeting featured: free103point9, 31 Down and Brad Borevitz

Wu Ta-Kun (Taiwan) This Taiwanese artist creates videos and sound installations that attempt to convey physicality and sensation.

Marlena Kudlicka (Poland) Marlena’s distinctive hybrid work mixes pared-down text with elements of architecture, painting and graphic design. Recently she has started integrating new technology into her work.

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.

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) 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 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 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) 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) 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’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’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’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’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 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. As a sound artist and a radio producer, he develops experimental sound environments and narrative radioproductions that increase awareness of our surrounding soundscapes and their significance in our everyday existence.

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) 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.

Kaori Tazoe (Japan) Kaori Tazoe’s recent mixed-media works explore the role of theater and entertainment in people’s lives. From 1995 to 2002, she collaborated with artist/fashion designer Junko Ito in “Suit”, a series of conceptual art projects exploring the relationship between the individual and the collective mind, and the ways that the act of wearing a uniform affects both the individual and the group.

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.

Cliff Evans (U.S.A.). Bare life: Booth Girl*s and Stormtroopers: Accumulation, 2007A multi-channel photomontage animation that is presented as an object similar to an altar piece or a product display. It is constructed from an LCD screen and personal media players. It functions as a machine to contain, decipher and display images gathered from online sources. It situates itself within a soft-fascism, producing a baroque spectacle that unfolds and repeats. It, perhaps, is a clockwork meant to tell the time in an age of tech-fetish and availability at a glance.

a conversation with artist Lenore Malen.
