One and Many
Curated by Claudia Calirman
January 11-February 15, 2012
Opening Reception-Tuesday, January 10, 6PM-8PM

Location One is proud to present One and Many, a group show featuring works by Monica Baptista, Jacob Dahl Jürgensen, Atsushi Kaga, Agnieszka Kurant, David Molander, and Hiraku Suzuki. These artists engage a variety of mediums, from digital film and photography to the traditional art of sewing, transforming one piece into many as they channel possible meta-narratives in their work.

Danish artist Jacob Dahl Jürgensen’s video Un Voyage recounts a failed attempt to shoot a 16mm film during a boat trip on the Baltic Sea in the winter of 2011. Departing from an anecdote about the doomed fate of the Jürgensen family’s watch-making company, which was founded in Denmark in the late eighteenth century, the artist’s video-essay unfolds as a meta-narrative of the story itself. Like the 16mm film, the video itself has been manipulated and also falls apart at key moments, threatening at any point to disintegrate entirely. This all coincides with the failure of the family’s business, which in turn ultimately refers to the fall of capitalism. A constant sense of breakdown unites the multiple layers, with form and content at once complementing and collapsing into each other.

Dublin-based, Japanese artist Atsushi Kaga presents Nerd Bag, a performance-based installation in which the artist and his mother will be sewing nerdy bags inside Location One’s gallery. For ten days—January 11 through 21—the artist and his mother will sew bags in front of the public. The project is inspired by his mortifying childhood experience of having to bring his mother’s hand-made bags to the school, while other kids had official plain bags (purchased in shops). Kaga often uses Japanese vernacular visual language to explore the complex search for personal and cultural identity and the social issues we face in daily life. The installation includes some sculptures of dying vegetables, which reminds him of his parents’ fate in the near future.

Polish artist Agnieszka Kurant is interested in changing status of objects and icons. Her film Empire (2011) is a remake of Andy Warhol’s 1964 movie of the same name, which comprises eight hours and five minutes of continuous, static footage of the Empire State Building. In Kurant’s version, a single stationary shot of the Palace of Culture and Science in Warsaw—an unwanted gift from Joseph Stalin to the people of Poland—replaces the Empire State Building. After the fall of communism, in 1989, this hated icon became both a tourist destination and a local symbol of cool. In 2000, four clocks were added to the top of the building, again changing its collective memory. For the filming of Kurant’s Empire, the clocks were set to run backwards for one hour. No information about this fact was announced until the end of the day, provoking all sorts of confusion among city dwellers.

Tokyo-based artist Hiraku Suzuki presents his ongoing project GENGA (001 – 1000), an investigation of the constantly expanding field of drawing. Suzuki’s practice includes installations, live drawing performances, films, frottages, and books. His method is analogous to the act of archeological excavation, in which mundane elements from everyday life—asphalt, earth, leaves, markers—are transformed into universal hieroglyphs that abstractly suggest a broader galaxy. Suzuki mixes ancient and new symbols to create a universal language, generating an ever-shifting puzzle of essential shapes, forms, and rhythms.

Swedish artist David Molander creates animated and painterly tableaus of urban centers from the pool of documentary materials that he collects in digital photography and film format. In his series Through Bridges, Molander constructs large-scale, kaleidoscopically multilayered views of the cityscape, capturing the urban landscape and transforming it in images that are both abstract and disorienting. He dissects and reassembles interiors, samples streetlights and stitches together pavement, fusing parts of the city that although closely linked, seldom meet. Residing in the space between document and fiction, Molander’s work reveals a patchwork of possibilities, emphasizing the complex relationship between architecture, living spaces, and social environment.

Visual artist and filmmaker Monica Baptista, from Portugal, presents the super8 film All Is for the Best in the Best of All Possible Worlds, a title taken from Voltaire’s satire Candide ou l’Optimisme. Shot in the 15 October 2011 in Times Square, when demonstrations were held promising a global revolution, drawing a line coming from the Arab Spring, the Spanish “Indignants”, the Greek Protests and finally the Occupy Movement. On this loop film, the revolution seems suspended in the repetition, evoking the collective euphoria and arrhythmia regarding the future. Her experimental films play out like fragmented collages, artists’ notebooks, from documental to fictional cinema, exploring the relationship between moving image and stills. This immersive work is a reflection on the phenomenology of perception and the relationship between representation and reality.

Dear Friends,

Spring is here at last, Location One’s 10th Anniverary is coming up fast, and all those exciting names on the cover of this letter are part of an astonishing program of events that we invite you to come and be part of.

Australian video pioneer Tracey Moffatt is challenging us right now with her Social Edit, a suit of three films currently in our main gallery, in which she uses snippets of early and contemporary Hollywood movies to reflect on notions of nation, race and class…Coming in May is Aoife Collins‘ first solo show in the US: works of sculpture, sound, collage and video that reflect on ideas of Artaud, Baudelaire, and Rimbaud…And artist Nina Sobell will install her own studio in our project space, there to converse with visitors about her work and to improvise via the web with those who bring their own instruments.

Choreographer and dancer Glen Rumsey reprises his ignoredin my heaven…, possibly our most popular commissioned work ever, on April 4th and 5th, with many of the original dancers returning. In 2005 all performances were standing-room-only, so book early. Then on May 2nd come to see and hear the dean of the scene, poet Bob Holman, performing tracks from his new CD The Awesome Whatever with musician-collaborator Vito Ricci, and New Randy (that’s poet Holly Anderson and musician Lisa B. Burns) telling stories, singing songs with “melodies that soar and scorch and torch”.

Come Fall, we’ll be offering new work from Laurie Anderson, artist, musician, storyteller, generous creative spirit, and this year’s Location One senior artist in residence…and a solo show from Jean Shin, who during her residency this year, conceived a new metaphor using music to speak about the presence and absense of the body as well as a means of mapping out imaginary communities…We’re delighted to announce that next year’s senior artist in residence will be the legendary video, visual and performance artist Joan Jonas.

In September we also begin our by-invitation international fellowships for mid-career artists who want time and resources to reflect and eplore and create work they might never make if working commercially or within the bounds of their daily lives. Our first fellows will be two Britons: the sculptor Conrad Shawcross, whose insights into the harmonics of the universe fascinate us and “reveal the possibility that the certainties of science may be fiction and not fact”, and director-dramaturg-performance artist Sophie Hunter, who creates a theatre of moving images, absurd humor and vivid tableaux.

Check our web site for additional events as they’re scheduled. Meanwhile, we hope some of these wonderful talents will bring you back to Greene Street very soon.

With my very best wishes,

Claire Montgomery
Executive Director

Opening Reception: Wednesday, March 12, 6-8 pm
Artist-Curator talk and book signing: Tuesday, March 25 at 7 pm free

Location One is pleased to present three important films by Australian video pioneer Tracey Moffatt, perhaps one of the most revolutionary women artists to have ever worked in that medium. Known for her enchantingly beautiful yet often times dark portrayals of the role of subaltern “others” in both her native Australia and from cultures around the world, Moffatt’s narrative films offer the viewer a penetrative gaze into the realities and implicit fantasies that subjugation based on race and gender churns out. In her dual role as cultural critic and maker of art, Moffatt combines hard-edged life experiences with the technologies of video and photography to seam together pastiche-like vignettes that open a window onto the lives of her characters, whether that be an Australian aborigine or an African-American woman. In so doing, Moffatt not only presents the voice of “the other,” but perhaps more importantly provides a way out of the oft-times inescapable confines of racism, sexism and homophobia found in all corners of the globe. By granting her characters and viewers their own voice, Moffatt becomes champion of the subjugated and mediator between the lived here-and-now and the utopian world that many of us fantasize about one day realizing.

In the suite of videos on view in Social Edit, Moffatt, in collaboration with film editor Gary Hillberg, uses a strategy much different from her more well-known narrative films. Here, she utilizes montage and fracturing to literally excavate and mine the history of Hollywood films to create short movies that address the horrors of racism, Armageddon and destruction of things beautiful. Each work, culled from snippets of both early and contemporary films, some readily familiar and others completely unknown, becomes a thought-provoking journey into the collective memory of humankind, marked by the institutionalized-on-film traces of ill will that have been both opaquely and directly presented to us over the course of our lifetimes. By exposing the moments of subjugation found in Hollywood movies over the decades, whether in the form of racist rhetoric, visual depictions of the end of the world, or the creation and destruction of works of art, Moffatt allows us to rethink and reposition the implicit meaning of these brief filmic moments that might seem innocent one-by-one, but which produce a most ominous threat when bundled together one after another in a nonstop sequence that shocks and awakens in equal measure.

In LIP from 1999, Moffatt pieces together clips focusing on the African-American maid and her white employer to address the ever-present reality of racism and the ghosts of slavery that haunt contemporary America to this day. Through presenting the Hollywood depictions of these otherwise strong women as victim, comedic buffer or sassy troublemaker, Moffatt presents us with a seeming blueprint for the ways in which racism are promulgated in mainstream society, here in the form of popular entertainments that are often more influential on our thought-patterns than any other medium. Likewise, in ARTIST from 2000, Moffatt creates a sequence of film sequences that show artists working intensely on their masterworks, followed by a momentous climax in which chaos rules and the artists or others seemingly explode and destroy works of art in a near-orgiastic crescendo of rage and destructive force. In making such a work, Moffatt attempts to imbue the destroyed masterpieces on the celluloid with a new life, here in the form of a stand-alone work of art that reveals and questions Hollywood’s proclivity for depicting the artist as madman, dilettante or social outcast. Finally, in her recent work DOOMED from 2007, Moffatt analyzes world destruction imagery found in blockbuster movies to form a film brimming over with explosions, natural disasters and terroristic attacks to make a comment on our contemporary world’s fixation on terrorism and natural disasters, and perhaps more importantly, their omnipresence in mainstream media, and thus the front of our minds. By grouping together one disaster—and indeed one social ill or act of destruction—after another, Moffatt forces us to question that which we see on a daily basis, indeed to reevaluate the imagery and messages we are fed through Hollywood, television and news media day in and day out. For Tracey Moffatt, the fractures of film are a most ripe field from which one’s voice, identity and import can be recaptured, and from whence one can find comfort knowing that, once exposed for the social ills that they are, the depictions of subjugation from which these films are made can be turned into the very tools that will defeat them in the end.

Lilibeth Cuenca Rasmussen: Afghan Hound

29 October – 23 December 2011
Through photographs. sculpture, video, song, costume and performance, Cuenca explores the fragile structure of political hegemony and patriarchal domination. Her premise: When sexuality is repressed, new constructions of gender develop.The title refers both to the long-haired dog breed (the artist uses hair in extreme exaggeration throughout the work) and to Afghanistan (the male-dominated culture from which her characters are drawn).

Sounds Good

15 June – 29 July 2011
Curated by Claudia Calirman
Sounds Good, features visual responses to a collaborative sound piece by artists John Aslanidis, Katy Dove, Phoebe Hui, Sophie Hunter, Miler Lagos, John O’Connell, Gonzalo Puch, and Zane Saunders. The pieces relate to movement, rhythm, vibration, energy, and the expanding visual field.

John O’Connell: Like a Shark in the Grass

14 April – 27 May 2011

The gallery space is transformed with floor-to-ceiling cardboard tubes, a large hand-painted mural, a series of drawings, and a huge papier-mâché structure, creating the sense of a forest that the viewer is invited to explore. This imaginary landscape—in which bizarre and unfamiliar narratives seem to unfold before the viewer’s eyes—is loosely inspired by an earlier drawing by O’Connell, Like a Shark in the Grass (2009), which depicts a ghostly white shark uncannily drifting inside a forest.

Davide Balliano: Giving My Back To The Night I Heard You Lying To A Giant
First Giant

10 February – 19 March 2011

In the exhibition “Giving My Back to the Night I Heard You Lying to a Giant (First Giant)” Davide Balliano uses the myth of Ulysses blinding the Cyclops Polyphemus as a starting point for his representation of the five phases of sleep which he calls the “ancestral fight against the obscure void that blinds us every night”.

Artist Talk: Friday, Sept 24, 2010, 7pm
with Chrissie Iles, Anne and Joel Ehrenkranz Curator, Whitney Museum

Adel Abidin: I’m Sorry

20 May – 31 July 2010
The piece that gives the exhibition its title-a light box including a sound installation- comes from his experience as an Iraqi traveling in the U.S. In one of his trips, Abidin encountered people from diverse social backgrounds. Yet, surprisingly, every time he mentioned his nationality, the answer was invariably the same: I’m Sorry. Of course, this reply comes as a double entendre: Are people sorry for themselves, for feeling guilty for the infringements imposed by the U.S. on Iraq during the war, or are they sorry for the artist’s fate of being born in such place? The shift of position between audience and self is constantly present in his work.

Joan Jonas:

Drawing/Performance/Video

20 March – 8 May 2010
Drawing is an underlying practice and ongoing concern that Jonas has pursued
throughout her life. All of Jonas’s performance drawings retain a working relationship to her individual video and installation projects. For Jonas, drawings can be lasting and autonomous objects or they may be ephemeral and destroyed during a performance.

Yes, But…

14 Jan – 6 Mar 2010
Yes, But…explores works that dwell in the borderline between real and fictional, process-based and result-oriented, temporal and permanent, literal and metaphorical, orderly and undisciplined. Within the fabric of these works lies an array of artistic choices that emphasize contradictions and ambiguities, playing games upon the viewer at every turn.

Richard Bell: I Am Not Sorry

8 Oct – 25 Nov 2009

Brisbane-based Richard Bell is one of Australia’s most talked-about artists. Bell’s works address–and protest–the commodification of indigeneity in the western art market. They draw attention to frustrations and grievances brought about through the European colonization of Australia. His paintings play with the practice of appropriation, often mining the Pop Art styles of Roy Lichtenstein and Jasper Johns, the paint drips of Jackson Pollock, or the dot matrix style of Aboriginal painter Emily Kngwarreye while including texts that complicate the way we think about racism and race politics.

Virtual Residency 2.0: Levels of Undo

9 Sept – 30 Oct 2009
Location One Virtual Residency Project 2.0: “Levels of Undo” Four artists from 4 different cities, who have never met–and were forbidden to do so during the three months of their “residency”–collaborate on a topic that they had no say in developing. Is this ethical? Are the parameters unnecessarily rigid? Were they able to produce anything worthwhile under such oddly stringent rules?

Conrad Shawcross: Control

20 May – 1 Aug 2009

Extended! 9-26 Sept 2009

Shawcross is known for his multi-media, kinetic sculptures and mysterious structures that are imbued with an appearance of scientific rationality yet beneath the surface are also haunted by the search for the unobtainable and inexpressible. In this new work the artist continues the series of investigations that started with Slow Arc Inside a Cube (2008), which was initially inspired by the late British chemist Dorothy Hodgkin, who said deciphering the structure of pig insulin ‘was like trying to work out the structure of a tree from seeing only its shadow’.

Nicolas Grospierre & Kaeko Mizukoshi: Safe and Hymn.

28 Apr – 9 May 2009
Location One is pleased to present the first of its summer 2009 International Residency Program Exhibitions featuring the work of two outstanding emerging artists, Nicolas Grospierre (Poland) and Kaeko Mizukoshi (Japan). Artist Grospierre will present a photographic installation exploring the intricacies of NYC bank vaults, well timed in light of the global financial crisis. Artist Mizukoshi presents a video installation ste at a Los Angeles bus stop and focused on the dialog between a man, who rants indecipherably, and an awaiting passenger who responds with unrelated religious exclamations.

Laurie Anderson: From the Air: Two Installations

5 March – 2 May 2009
Fostered by the experimental art scene of downtown New York in the early 1970s, Laurie Anderson created her earliest performances in Soho, where Location One is based. In addition to continuing her acclaimed performance work, she has gone on to broaden her artistic practice to include music, video, digital art, and sculpture. Her Location One installation features a duet of video and sound.Location One will organize its inaugural Benefit Gala in celebration of its 10th Anniversary on Thursday, March 5, 2009. Honoring Laurie Anderson and her contributions to the downtown New York art world and beyond, the gala will feature a preview of the exhibition and a special performance that the artist will reveal.

Nayland Blake: Behavior

2 Dec 2008 – 14 Feb 2009
With a surprising dearth of bunnies, Nayland Blake’s: Behavior, a 25-year survey of the renowned artist’s work, will feature some thirty pieces from every aspect of Blake’s career as a painter, sculptor, illustrator, performer, and gorgeinstallation artist. They include the iconic Magic (1991), Heavenly Bunny Suit (1994), a restraint piece, Jim (2000), as well as a generous selection of works never before exhibited in NYC. Nayland Blake: Behavior will be accompanied by a magiccatalogue, as well as by a series of artist-curated performance nights, one of which will include a re-staging of Blake’s “Gorge” (1998).

Catalog availiable.

Jane Philbrick: PULL

10 Sept – 8 Nov 2008PULL confronts an America seemingly crippled by fear and uncertainty. Developed in collaboration with 18 engineers from Honeywell’s Fire Systems Group, PULL urges viewers to realize their hidden desire to sound the alarm, here in the form of an historic fire call box situated in the center of the gallery space. Once triggered, the work blossomsinto a flourish of lights, words and deafening sirens–a wake up call. Philbrick utilizes 502 fire alarms, strobes, smoke detectors, siren horns, control panels–and one customized vintage fire pull station to sound the alarm and remind us to question our notions of security and it’s sources.

Virtual Residency Project: Mission Accomplished

10 Sept – 8 Nov 2008
Can three complete strangers – from different continents, cultures and creative disciplines – collaborate from afar to create a forceful artistic statement about a political event? They can, they have! Their work, prepared without ever meeting face-to-face, uses Google Earth, Second Life, wikis and blog technologies – not to mention old-fashioned hand-printed Agitprop posters – to address the forthcoming U.S. Presidential election. The three artists all speak English, and all are fluent in Internet media. They were given no restrictions other than not meeting in person, and no directions other than the topic of the forthcoming Presidential election. Heather Wagner, director of online exhibitions, coordinated the project for Location One.Mission Accomplished?The chosen three:  Susanne Berkenheger (Berlin), Andy Deck(NYC), and Hidenori Watanave (Tokyo)

Jean Shin: And We Move

19 Jun – 26 Jul 2008
Conceived as a site-specific installation, And we move continues Jean Shin’s investigation into the nature of music and its production. The installation utilizes the display of clothing, a video projection on fabric, unwound audio tape, embroidery, and compositional scores on prints, to explore how music is visualized and expressed through movement of the body, and how sound can be imprinted onto a surface.

Aoife Collins: Wet Eye

24 Apr – 14 Jun 2008Aoife’s interdisciplinary practice is shaped by recurrent themes of permutation, multiplicity, cultural paraphernalia and mass identification. She utilizes collage, found object and the reinterpretation of prefabricated forms to communicate new ideas and the mutability of image over context.

Nina Sobell: Internal Message Search

18 – 26 Apr 2008Nina Sobell pioneered the use of video, computers, and interactivity in art, as well as performance on the Web. Since 1969, when she first used video to document participants’ undirected interactions with her sculptures, she investigates the extent to which video enables her to manipulate the relation between time and space, and to create a vortex for human experience, in which the mediated event coincides with public experience, memory, and relationships.

Tracey Moffatt: Social Edit

26 Feb – 19 Apr 2008
Curated by Eric C. Shiner
Moffatt’s narrative films offer the viewer a penetrative gaze into the realities and implicit fantasies that subjugation based on race and gender churns out. In her dual role as cultural critic and maker of art, Moffatt combines hard-edged life experiences with the technologies of video and photography to seam together pastiche-like vignettes that open a window onto the lives of her characters, whether that be an Australian aborigine or an African-American woman.

Xu Tan: Searching for Keywords

28 Nov 2007 – 9 Feb 2008
Xu Tan’s work deals with the hidden motivations and intentions of individuals through a high-tech analysis of their vocabulary. “Searching with Keywords” is the New York leg of an ongoing project which the artist launched in 2005. The project will be unfolding simultaneously in Beijing, China, in Sittard, Holland, and in New York, through a website created specifically for this happening. Gallery audiences in New York will be invited to interact with the keywords, which are presented by means of four video projections and four computer stations equipped with laptops, video cameras, and Internet connections. The goal is to have gallery visitors pronounce the keywords as illustrated in drawings and video clips, to ask questions of the artist thorough an on-line forum and message board, and to leave comments. Their reactions and input will be immediately transmitted through the website to the other venues where the installation is present.

Lida Abdul: What We Saw Upon Awakening

4 Oct – 17 Nov 2007
Location One presents the first New York exhibition by Afghan artist Lida Abdul whose work is rooted in the devastation of war and in a sublimation of healing. In her videos, Afghani ruins appear as images from a dreamscape-both real and surreal-steeped in forgotten histories and mystery.

Nora Ligorano and Marshall Reese: Crater New York: A Lunar Drawing Contest

6 – 26 Sept 2007
On September 26th, Location One was proud to give away three deeds to land on the moon. All you had to do to enter the contest and vie for a chance to own extra-planetary property was show up, draw an image of a moon model that had been installed in the gallery, and then hope the judges liked it! Next stop, NASA – to purchase a de-comissioned space shuttle of course!

IRP Exhibition: Summer 2007

June 2 – July 28, 2007
Location One presents the second IRP group show of the 2006-2007 season, featuring new work developed by our resident artists. The exhibition represents a diverse range of artistic approaches and many are works in progress.Featuring:Jeanette Doyle (Ireland), Cliff Evans (USA), Krist Gruijthuijsen (The Netherlands), Ruey-Hsiaan Hsu (Taiwan, Miguel Palma (Portugal), Bundith Phunsombatlert (Thailand), Jani Ruscica (Finland), and Eric Van Hove (Belgium).

Martha Rosler: Virtual Minefield

13 Apr – 25 May 2007
Location One is pleased to present Virtual Minefield, an installation by Martha Rosler which features two elements: a burlesque of a minefield, as a reminder of current combat zones and as a metaphor of the world political situation, and a mockup of a “phrasealator”, a two-way speech-to-speech device developed by the Defense Department to provide a mechanical translation of set phrases in situations where personnel are unable to speak the local language.

Jeanette Doyle: StarLine Tours

13 Apr – 25 May 2007Location One is proud to present new work by the recipient of the 2006-07 Irish Fellowship award. Ms. Doyle’s practice is primarily concerned with picture making, specifically painting and its relationship to lens-based technologies. The artist manipulates the various media she employs in order to generate very particular effects, questioning the notion of representation and creating a metaphor of what we think we are seeing versus what we actually see or what is given to be seen.

IRP Exhibition: Winter 2007

13 Feb – 31 Mar 2007
Location One presents the first of two exhibitions showcasing new work developed by eight artists participating in the 2006-2007 International Residency Program. Featured works, some of which are exhibited as work-in-progress, represent a diverse range of artistic approaches.Featuring:Natalie Berwernitz & Marek Goldowski (Germany), Teresa Henriques (Portugal), Agnieszka Kalinowska (Poland), Nina Katchadourian (U.S.A.), Rie Kawakami (Japan), Alessandro Nassiri (Italy), Kaori Tazoe (Japan), and Virginie Yassef (France).

Lisa and Nicole Abahuni: In the Sky

21 Nov 2006 – 27 Jan 2007
In the Sky was a multimedia installation, commissioned by Location One, and developed into an exploration into the sharing of the senses and the interconnectedness between perception and sensation as experienced through visual, aural, and physical realms by populating the gallery with strands of metallic beads, a six-channel audio component and a video installation depicting repetitious images that speak to the weaving and unweaving of time and memory.

Artbots: The Robot Talent Show

10-12 Nov 2006
Curated by Douglas Irving Repetto.ArtBots was an international art exhibition for robotic art and art-making robots. Featuring artists Jason Van Anden, Brett Doar, Yoav Bergner and LoVid, Bob Huott & Eric Singer, Mark Esper, Ranjit Bhatnagar, James Powderly and Jonah Brucker-Cohen.

Cliff Evans: The Road to Mount Weather

14 Sep – 4 Nov 2006
Curated by Pieranna Cavalchini, curator of contemporary art, Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum
A grand, three-channel moving image installation/projection (15 minute loop) by Cliff Evans. “Mount Weather” 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.Catalog is available.Sponsored by Location One and the Peter Norton Family Foundation.

Lukasz Skapski: Video and Photographic Works

11 Apr – 20 May 2006
Debut solo show in New York of Polish artist whose 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. Installation sponsored by Location One and the Trust for Mutual Understanding.

Carlos Amorales and Javier Viver: Manimal and The Audience

8 Mar – 1 Apr 2006Mexican artist Carlos Amorales and former artist-in-residence Javier Viver and exhibit video works “Manimal” and “The Audience.” “Manimal” (2005, 6 mins.) is a black and white video animation about the transformation of animal emotions into human rationality. “The Audience” (2005, video and theater chairs, 4.5 minutes) is a three-channel video installation based on El Grand Teatro del Mundo. Sponsored by Location One. Javier Viver’s installation was supported in part by Consulate General of Spain in New York.

Collaborative Exhibition: Slowscan Soundwave (III) and The Telaesthetic Finger

11 Oct – 26 Nov 2005Curated by Heather Wagner”Slowscan Soundwave (III)” was an immense, interactive sound sculpture by artist and dorkbot instigator Douglas Repetto, consisting of enormous strips of sound-sensitive transparent mylar strewn from the ceiling, motors, and custom electronics. “The Telæsthetic Finger”, a selection of works by Kevin Centanni, Atsushi Nishijima and Heather Wagner, function as acoustic crab traps, devices that are cast out and reeled back in, filled with booty…or not. Sponsored by Location One.

Creative Atelier: Open Stitch

7 Sep – 1 Oct 2005
Co-Curated by Claire Montgomery and Sebastien Sanz de Santamaria15 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 removed the gallery from the appointed function of “showing” and moved it to the world of artistic production, raising questions about the circumstances, both physical and mental, of the creative process. Participating artists: Ayah Bdeir, Jessie Cohan, Barry Doss, Stefany Anne Golberg, George Hudacko, Selma Karaca, Ryan Kennedy, Miranti Kisdarjono, Katherine Moriwaki, David Quinn, Chris Sanders, Davina Semo, and Wikiwikicorp, a collective that includes Jean Barberis, Aya Kakeda and Sebastien Sanz de Santamaria.Commissioned by Location One.

Chris Csikszentmihalyi: Skin & Control

22 Sep 2004 – 26 Feb 2005
Rising out of the gallery floor and disappearing into the walls, two large-scale installations by MIT artist Chris Csikszentmihalyi explores two central technologies of our late industrial society: the airplane and the control panel, rehearsing our dependence on complex technologies and the vulnerability they engender. “Skin” was an aluminum cylinder, the fuselage of a Boeing 737 that emerges from the gallery floor, stopped in the act of flying. “Control” was composed of panels, roughly modeled on those used in Chernobyl, that wend their way through the gallery.Catalogue is available.Commissioned by Location One.

Victoria Vesna: Nano Mandala

15 Dec 2004 – 29 Jan 2005
An installation by media artist Victoria Vesna, with nanoscience pioneer James Gimzewski. It consisted of a video projected onto a disk of sand, 8 feet in diameter. Visitors could touch the sand as images were projected in evolving scale from the molecular structure of a single grain of sand to the recognizable image of the complete mandala, and then back again. This coming together of art, science and technology is a modern interpretation of an ancient tradition that consecrates the planet and its inhabitants to bring about purification and healing. The sand mandala seen in this installation was created by Tibetan Buddhist monks from the Gaden Lhopa Khangtsen Monastery in India. Sound artist Anne Niemetz developed the soundscape derived from sounds recorded during the creative process of making the sand mandala.

Group Exhibition: Signal to Noise

10 Sep – 19 Oct 2002
Curated by Heather Wagner A group exhibition featuring works that explored the relationship of sound and light waves.

Work exhibited by Atsushi Nishijima, Erwin Redl, Laurie Spiegel, and Heather Wagner.Sponsored by Location One.

29 May – 29 Jun 2002

10 Jan-2 Mar 2002
“White Balance (to think is to forget differences)” by Columbian artist François Bucher, is a meditation after 9-11 and an effort to uncover the geographies of power, the frontiers of privilege. It revisits this problem from different angles, creating short circuits of meaning which are hosted by improbable audiovisual matches. Media and internet footage is intermixed with images shot in downtown Manhattan before and after the September 11th attacks.Underwritten by Location One.Additional funding was provided by The New York City Media Arts Grant of The Jerome Foundation.

Philippa Kaye Company, Special One-Night Only Dance Performance, Friday, April 6, 2007

Location One presents
Philippa Kaye Company
“Ritual for a Non-repeating Universe”
with music performed by The AirBand

Friday April 6th
8PM

tickets $20 (Location One members FREE)
A one-time expansive event mixing the analog – cray-pas and contemporary dance – with the digital – sensored sound and light.In Ritual for a Non-repeating Universe, an exploration of Chaos Theory and the phenomena of unpredictable systems, Philippa Kaye Company dancers pitch their sensitive bodies into the rigors of momentum, making quick and unalterable decisions as their limbs swing and fall, while a computer program designed by judsoN (Judson Wright) tracks their motion and translates it into digital animation. In occasional doomed efforts for control, the dancers attempt to orchestrate the proceedings or each other, but moments of equilibrium arrive magically when they surrender. Langdon C. Crawford uses his laptop compositions to respond to changes in the moment. The dance is highlighted by costumes by Heather Bowie.The AirBand will play a few original compositions and improvise with Philippa Kaye Company.
Dancers performing on April 6th will be Toby Billowitz, Tiffany Cunningham, Chris Daftsios, Azahara Ubera Beidma, Lauren Engleman, Kristin Hapke, Philippa Kaye, Storme Sundberg.THE AIRBAND
Langdon C. Crawford, William David Fastenow, Laura M. Sinnott
The group gets its name from the first instrument built for the band in 2006. The MIDI AirGuitar was designed to allow the musician to control a computer’s sound output with gestures from afar. The band has designed their handmade instruments to manipulate a wide sound spectrum. www.theairband.comPhilippa Kaye:
Philippa Kaye has been making dances for public performance since 1995, and has been dancing all along. She trained at the School of American Ballet and performed with American Ballet Theater as a child in New York City. Entranced by American Musical Theater and popular dance forms, she simultaneously developed a taste for the more personalized vocabularies of Modern Dance. After Graduating with a BA in Studio Art from U.C. Santa Cruz, she performed with numerous Contemporary choreographers in San Francisco and New York.In 2000, she was commissioned by Dancing in the Streets for Wave Hill to create “Manicure,” a site-specific outdoor work, and by Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum Smithsonian Institution to set an evening of work in its public garden on Fifth Avenue. After studying the possibilities of interactive electronic media with performance and receiving an MFA in choreography from Sarah Lawrence College in 2002, she formed Philippa Kaye Company to continue making dances. Her work has also been presented by Dixon Place, Dancenow/NYC, Chashama, New Dance Alliance, The 92nd St. Y, Sarah Lawrence College, SWEAT in Hoboken, N.J., Concord Academy, Concord, MA, and the D.C. International Improvisation Festival, and seen at many New York City venues including Joyce Soho, Pace Downtown Theater, The Gene Frankel Theater, Fordham University, as well as The Painted Bride, Philadelphia, PA. She has been a Fieldwork facilitator and is an active teacher.

A strong début season marked by technical complexity and understated wit. In “Ritual for a Non-Repeating Universe,” the troupe dances as if guided by unseen forces. Crayons gripped in the dancer’s fists record their motions on the walls and floor, and when the lights go out, glow sticks tied to their shins and forearms leave florescent traces in the air. (Brian Seibert, The New Yorker)

The Doom_machine
by Saoirse Higgins

Mechanism no.1: war
by Saoirse Higgins and Simon Schiessl

Click here to view the embedded video.

Both the Doom_machine and Mechanism no.1 address our concerns and fears in the world as we embrace technology and its powers, both good and bad. Ultimately we are responsible for the power of technology and how it is used. This exhibition looks at the fear factor in the world particularly during these times of uncertainty and paranoia. It examines our innate pessimism regarding the world and our expectations for the future.

The Doom_machine
by Saoirse Higgins
This piece includes a physical machine, remote actuated sound, video installation and live broadcast.

The Doom_machine takes a daily measure of how close we are to a possible end to the world. Particularly after the events of September 11th, pending disaster has become a regular feature of our lives; thereby increasing the apprehension about the future of our personal and planetary safety. We are in an apocalyptic holding pattern.

The Doom_machine was inspired by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists prediction clock, which has been in use since 1947. The Doom_machine is constantly monitoring the doom level via related sites on the Internet and a doom voting website. It interprets the data as sound that correlates to a doom scale from 0 to 5. Each hour there is an announcement of the daily doom forecast, which can be collected from the Location One website and downloaded onto an mp3 player, printed out, or broadcast on radio.

Mechanism no.1: war
by Saoirse Higgins and Simon Schiessl
Interactive video installation

This is an interactive video projection examining the critical moments leading to war. The visitor winds* up the mechanical toy drummer boy with the brass key. The action of the drummer boy correlates to a projected video that shows bombs dropping from the sky. The sound of the bombs keeps exact beat with the drum. The tighter the mechanism is wound the faster the bombs will drop. The visitor controls frequency of the bombing. Where are these bombs being dropped? What are the consequences?

*to wind up…to screw to a certain pitch, to involve, to implicate, expresses rapid, forceful motion…

Saoirse Higgins
