Rudy Shepherd: Portraits

July 8-31, 2009
In “Portraits,” American Artist-in-Residence Rudy Shepherd presents a series of recent works that challenge and transcend traditional notions of who and what is a worthy subject of high-art portraiture, e.g., criminals, anonymous Taliban members, black heroes, or houses.The painted portraits in Shepherd’s “Criminal/Victim” series from 2009 depict both perpetrators and victims of the same crime side-by-side, visually blurring the line between innocence and guilt. By presenting the people first and the stories second a space is created for humanity to be re-instilled into the lives of people who have been reduced to mere headlines by the popular press (e.g. Timothy McVeigh).

Nicolas Grospierre & Kaeko Mizukoshi: Safe and Hymn.

Rashaad Newsome: Compositions

June 19 – July 26 2008
Have pop culture and globalization co-opted the wonderfully expressive gestures of the black America female? This is the question that Rashaad Newsome explores in video and photography in Shade Compositions, one of two new works in an exhibition opening on Thursday June 19th at Location One.

Eric Siu & Luis Nobre

May 21, 2008
Optical Handlers – eeyee is a new interactive media project that consists of an optical goggle device constructed by the artist, which splits the vision into four channels. Hold It! is an installation that creates a fantastical, sometimes hallucinatory vision of nature, the city and the artist’s studio. Visual play is generated by overlapping layers of drawings, ephemeral sculptures made of paper and cardboard, light wire objects, all constructed by Nobre in-situ.

Nina Sobell: Internal Message Search – A Performative Installation

April 18-April 30, 2008
Nina Sobell will install her studio in Location One’s Project Gallery, which includes recent wax

January 30th -February 9th, 2008
Hergenhahn’s installation will consist of a series of pencil drawings gathered from experiences of quotidian life, and a video projection and wall etching in the gallery.

Hung Nguyen Manh: Special Sound Performance

Jan 11th, 2008, 7pm
“From Cricket to Airplane”, an experimental performance by Hung Nguyen Manh followed by 2 other short pieces. 3 solo pieces that transports the audience into hi-frequency (cricket) to lo-frequency (airplane) sound effects. Realized with an electric guitar, e-bow and effects Boss DS1 + PS5 + DD6.

Hung Nguyen Manh & Moira Ricci: In Location One’s Project Space

9th -19th January 2008
Central to Moira Ricci’s work is the world of the family home as the natural arena in which relationships are played out. Putting aside her own emotions, Ricci turns her personal narrative into fertile ground for thinking about the world we live in.

Katia Kameli & Kuba Bakowski: In Location One’s Project Space

December 13-22, 2007
With “Draft“, Katia Kameli continues her investigation into key issues that drive her film, video and installation practice, namely the construction of intersecting identities in a globalized world, hybridization, the notion of intercultural spaces and awareness of psychogeographical effects.

Nine International Artists Exhibit

June 2nd – July 28th, 2007

Jeanette Doyle: StarLine Tours

April 13-May 25, 2007
Jeanette Doyle’s practice is primarily concerned with picture making. She is particularly interested in painting and its relationship to lens-based technologies. Her work is driven by conceptual concerns but is deeply engaged with the processes and mechanics of making, especially the production of images. Her works express a desire to crystalise complexity for a moment in an image which, on closer inspection, allows the fiction of coherence to dissolve. Disjunction between the image and text is a hint of this. This disjunction between word and image is a feature of the ‘StarLine Tours’ exhibition at Location One.

IRP Exhibition, Winter 2007

Wednesday February 15th – 7:00 PM

Martin Beauregard: Somnambulic

7 December 2005 – 4 February 2006
Location One is pleased to present 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.

Yumiko Furukawa, Kenny Hunter, Wu Ta-Kun, and Mariana Viegas: IRP Exhibition Spring 2005 III

June 4th – July 30th, 2005
Tent for Poet (2005) (multimedia installation with tent, furnishings, video & DVD) is a work dedicated by the artist to a poet living in New York. Citizen Firefighter (2001) (resin sculpture), was conceived primarily to celebrate the men and women of Strathclyde Brigade in Scotland. The driving force behind Wu Ta-Kun’s varied body of work is expanding “ideas of sensibility”. Landscape is an entity –or a body– which is transformed by our presence and which, in turn, transforms us.

Martin Beauregard & Marlena Kudlicka: IRP Exhibition Spring 2005 II

April 28th – May 28th, 2005

Dec 15 2004 – Jan 29, 2005
Each video presents a singular character performing a simple action: a figure on a skateboard filmed from the back in a car, a young girl playing guitar on a traffic circle in the suburbs of Paris, a swimmer, a New York doorman as he progresses through the city at night.

Mark Themann: PASSED for EXPORT: an installation.

July 8 – July 31, 2004
PASSED for EXPORT, a site-specific installation by Mark Themann, raises questions about the American Landscape, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights in times of political crisis. Two videos of monumental US landscapes are projected in unnervingly slow and steady takes on opposite walls. Any potential romanticism is forestalled by the cacophonous clashing of two audio tracks in which the narrators are each reading from the Amendments to the Bill of Rights and the Constitution, reciting with an extreme stutter.

IRP Exhibition 2004

May 28 – June 30, 2004
Featuring:Koki Tanaka, Hsiao Sheng Chien, Mark Themann, Federico Muelas, Miguel Soares, Alexandra do Carmo, Vincent Lamouroux.

Featured in the main gallery, the show will be open to the public through Wednesday, June 30th, 2004.

Kurt Ralske: Re-Mapping 4 Dimensions: Three New Works

January-February, 2004
These three works explore time, and our perception of time. For me, one of the most interesting qualities of video is that it is in reality only a collection of still images. At 30 video frames per second, any 10 seconds of fluid movement can alternately be considered as a static collection of 300 related still images. Working in the digital realm in a real-time manner, there are endless possibilies for instantly treating a new video recording as a library of stills, then deriving new material by analyzing or modifying this library: reordering entries, comparing similarity or difference between entries, deriving a single image from multiple entries, etc.

Vesna Pavlovic: Casual Friday

December 10-30, 2003
Casual Friday will consist of several layers, only one of which will be photographic. Audio interviews, drawings and writings will constitute the other layers.
Collaborator and architect Srdjan Weiss, will address these themes through drawings of the layout and contents of the “perfect” office. He will do so through drawings, and will integrate into his work research on the history of the subject building, as well as information related to the taste and design of the architects who originally worked on the building.

Miguel Soares: Red Alert

November-December, 2003
“Do androids dream of electric sheep?” – Philip K. Dick
Gustavo is a robot that has been discarded in a black garbage bag. Out of this bag extends Gustavo’s motorized arm, with a laser that is carving a drawing on the wall. Do robots dream of being artists?

Saoirse Higgins and Simon Schiessl: Mechanism no.1: War

July 9 – August 2, 2003
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?

Daniel Blaufuks, Isabelle Jenniches, Dominik Lejman, Javier Viver, and Jiun-Ting Lin: IRP Exhibition 2003

May 22, 2003-June 28, 2003

Atsushi Nishijima, Erwin Redl, Laurie Spiegel and Heather Wagner: Signal to Noise

September 10 – October 19, 2002
Location One is happy to present “Signal to Noise“, a group exhibition featuring works that explore the relationship of sound and light waves. Not merely illustrations of audio-visual synaesthesia, several of the pieces act literally as transducers, that is, devices that convert input energy of one form into output energy of another.

Xu Tan: Qing Hua Porcelain (Blue & White)

May 23rd – June 29th 2002
Xu Tan draws his inspiration from the teachings of philosopher Chuang-Tzu (circa 250 BC). Successor to Lao Tzu and a foremost proponent of Taoism, Chuang-Tzu presumed that no matter how alike two things are, a difference between them can always be found and, conversely, no matter how different two things are, one can find a similarity between them. Objective similarities and differences do not justify any particular way of distinguishing between things.

Francois Bucher: White Balance

January 10 – March 2, 2002
White Balance (to think is to forget differences) is 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.

Atsushi Nishijima: Subtractive Creation/Visible Sound

December 8th – 29, 2001
“Sound does not exist without space and space is always filled with sound. Space represents sound as something visible, sound represents space as something audible. Our daily life is made of inevitable factors such as time and space. As for myself, that is a place where contemporary music exists.” –Atsushi Nishijima

François Bucher, Marta Deskur, and Ksenija Turcic: Irp Exhibition 2001

June 9-July 28, 2001
Museum of Mankind is a video installation depicting the statues that stand high on the roof of the Museum of Mankind in London. In a multimedia installation and web site project, New Baby?, Marta Deskur questions the significance of family today and the conflicting issues this question addresses. Ksenija Turcic presents a new multimedia installation, Phase, where she pursues her investigation of emotional space.

Katya Sander and François Bucher: RECORDERS

March 22 – April 21, 2001
“Recorders is an installation where a rotating camera and video projector interact with the visitor in a game of shadows and projection, images and text, narration and space, focus and blur. A pre-recorded conversation acts as voice-over for the entire set-up which is encompassed by a large image that resembles something like bits of information, white noise or a glittery seascape.

Rudy Shepherd: Portraits

July 8-31, 2009

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?

Daniel Blaufuks, Isabelle Jenniches, Dominik Lejman, Javier Viver, and Jiun-Ting Lin: IRP Exhibition 2003

May 22, 2003-June 28, 2003
May 22, Location One, a not-for-profit multimedia arts organization, opened its second artist-in-residence group exhibition with multimedia work developed during their stay. Included artists: Daniel Blaufuks (Portugal), Isabelle Jenniches (The Netherlands), Dominik Lejman (Poland), Jiun-Ting Lin (Taiwan), and Javier Viver (Spain). This exhibition will be on view in Location One’s gallery through June 28, 2003 and will be streamed live on our website (www.location1.org).

Atsushi Nishijima, Erwin Redl, Laurie Spiegel and Heather Wagner: Signal to Noise

September 10 – October 19, 2002
Location One is happy to present “Signal to Noise“, a group exhibition featuring works that explore the relationship of sound and light waves. Not merely illustrations of audio-visual synaesthesia, several of the pieces act literally as transducers, that is, devices that convert input energy of one form into output energy of another.

Xu Tan: Qing Hua Porcelain (Blue & White)

May 23rd – June 29th 2002
Xu Tan draws his inspiration from the teachings of philosopher Chuang-Tzu (circa 250 BC). Successor to Lao Tzu and a foremost proponent of Taoism, Chuang-Tzu presumed that no matter how alike two things are, a difference between them can always be found and, conversely, no matter how different two things are, one can find a similarity between them. Objective similarities and differences do not justify any particular way of distinguishing between things.

Francois Bucher: White Balance

January 10 – March 2, 2002
White Balance (to think is to forget differences) is 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.

Atsushi Nishijima: Subtractive Creation/Visible Sound

December 8th – 29, 2001
“Sound does not exist without space and space is always filled with sound. Space represents sound as something visible, sound represents space as something audible. Our daily life is made of inevitable factors such as time and space. As for myself, that is a place where contemporary music exists.” –Atsushi Nishijima

François Bucher, Marta Deskur, and Ksenija Turcic: Irp Exhibition 2001

June 9-July 28, 2001
Museum of Mankind is a video installation depicting the statues that stand high on the roof of the Museum of Mankind in London. In a multimedia installation and web site project, New Baby?, Marta Deskur questions the significance of family today and the conflicting issues this question addresses. Ksenija Turcic presents a new multimedia installation, Phase, where she pursues her investigation of emotional space.

Katya Sander and François Bucher: RECORDERS

March 22 – April 21, 2001
“Recorders is an installation where a rotating camera and video projector interact with the visitor in a game of shadows and projection, images and text, narration and space, focus and blur. A pre-recorded conversation acts as voice-over for the entire set-up which is encompassed by a large image that resembles something like bits of information, white noise or a glittery seascape.

On the Road and Parade, video :: Residents’ Exhibition 2005-2006
Interview with Muriel Quancard, Curatorial Advisor

Isabelle’s residency at Location One is supported by L’Association française d’action artistique/ AFAA, and Ville de Paris.

Opening Reception: Thursday, 9 February 2006 6-8pm
Open through: March 4th, 2006 (Tue – Sat, 12 – 6 pm)

On Thursday, February 9th, Location One presents 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:

Reclaim the Media! by Paololuca Barbieri and the Alterazioni Video collective, is a a three-piece installation that acts upon and reacts against the implications of unprecedented media control in our society.

Alterazioni Video develops software platforms and tools to question issues of conventional borderline of legal and illegal use of media technologies.“Baghdad Space Sharing” (2005), interactive video installation. “Blue Jack” (2005), bluetooth phones, software and media – experiment testing the limits of privacy protection at conventional consumer electronics devices.“If You Hear Something, Say Something” (2005), pirate radio transmitter, gold MP3 recordings. A project in collaboration with Nikolas Gambaroffand special guests Franco Berardi Bifo, Raddek Community, Sylver Lotringer, Avdey Ter Oganien, Los Osamas, Dj Pollution, Aldo Vignocchi, and others.

On the Road (dvd, 2’06″, 2005) and Parade (dvd, 1’49″, 2005) by Isabelle Ferreira

Ferreira describes On the Road as “a road-movie that has been short-circuited.” Through the depiction of an action that is quintessentially absurd, this short video aims to liberate landscape as a format from all narrative content and human representation. The second video Parade is a silent and visual dialogue between two mechanisms. More generally Isabelle’s work tends to create a time suspended atmosphere, where gesture and motion are slowed down and hidden rhythms revealed.

Stars (2006) by Geka Heinke

A monumental wall installation. Here a dynamic structure is achieved through the juxtaposition of a large monochromatic star motif painted directly on the wall against a backdrop of loose, free flowing technique on papersheets rearranged by the artist to engage the viewer into the depths of illusionistic space.

Logo Oriental Landscape Painting (2005-2006) by Yoon-Young Park

consisting of 6 vertical panels, painted in Chinese ink on rice paper. It is the artist’s reflection and comment on reading a western book on Oriental Painting which identifies Oriental landscape painting as Utopian, as opposed to the realistic approach of western landscape painting. Park observes the logos of several bottled waters that include mountains and rivers, and are depicted in a utopian and stylized manner. She elaborates these in the traditional technique of Oriental landscape panels with ink burshed on rice paper.

In her new work, Mariana Viegas

continues to investigate the impact of landscape as a transformative and transforming entity in urban contexts. The artist’s photographs suggest evidence of human activity in the design and articulation of parks and other green areas in the city. In the video, Mariana examines how objects in communal garden settings are placed in such a way that they become designations of each user’s area. Increased familiarity with these objects can also shift our perception and lead to the construction of possible narratives. All these investigations address the larger issue of the relationship between fiction and reality, nature and the construction of nature.

The residencies of the artists included in this show are generously supported by Associazione Artegiovane, Milan; The FondiAnima; Comune di Milano; L’Association Française d’Action Artistique – AFAA, and Ville de Paris; Schloss Balmoral, Stiftung Rheinland Pfalz für Kultur; The Korean Culture and Arts Foundation; Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation and the Luso-American Development Foundation.

On Thursday, May 22, Location One, a not-for-profit multimedia arts organization, will open its second artists in residence group exhibition with multimedia work developed during their stay by Daniel Blaufuks (Portugal), Isabelle Jenniches (The Netherlands), Dominik Lejman (Poland), Jiun-Ting Lin (Taiwan), and Javier Viver (Spain). This exhibition will be on view in Location One’s gallery through June 28, 2003 and will be streamed live on our website (www.location1.org).

Daniel Blaufuks :: Two Hundred and Forty-three Postcards in Real Color
Based on the work of the French writer George Perec, “A Perfect Day” by Daniel Blaufuks takes us to the peaceful world of postcards, filled with pools, beaches, mountains, lakes and, above all, blue skies. George Perec wrote Two Hundred and Forty-three Postcards in Real Color; these short, happy messages, which sometimes remind us of our daily e-mails, are combined here with postcards chosen by the artist, creating a new reading of the original words. Parallel to this, Blaufuks presents a video series, catalogued as Perec would, with titles such as “Pools”, “Mountains”, “Water”, “Beach”, “Road”, bringing us closer to the original ideas of the writer. One could speak almost of the boredom of the perfect day. Daniel Blaufuks has been working extensively on the relation between photography and literature, through works like “My Tangier” (with the writer Paul Bowles) and the more recent “Collected Short Stories”.

Isabelle Jenniches :: true looks and readers in the subway
Isabelle Jenniches comes from a background of scenography and theater. Her more recent explorations focus on the open-ended yet highly ritualized postures of real life. Her newest work, true looks takes place in a SoHo furniture store. The artist’s friends and colleagues—a dancer, a cook, a choir member—become covert protagonists. Mingling with the clients, shop assistants and teamsters, they are instructed to initiate subtle dramatic occurrences amidst the beds and sofas. Everyday patterns of consumer behavior are being poached, subverted into micro-dramatic moments that are followed and captured by the store’s webcam system.

Jenniches’ second project, readers in the subway, zooms in on commuters engrossed in their books. Seemingly oblivious to the noise and the ads, cramped, wearing thick layers of winter clothes, they each escape into their own thoughts, creating a bubble around themselves. Expression, body language and the occasional book title offer an intimate glimpse of that inner world. Focusing in on this one particular group of people reveals nuances of a larger human condition and taps into the collective consciousness of the moment: the video stills and sound bites create a snapshot of what was on peoples’ mind during the NYC Winter of 2003.

Dominik Lejman :: Video Murals – Social Surfaces Central Air Condition (Use and Care)
In Video Murals – Social Surfaces, Dominik Lejman employs direct recordings of crowds and urban gatherings he has filmed. This original footage is then rendered into a purely abstracted form by the artist through the creation of ornamental crowd motifs that are projected on the wall. The projection on the wall is equivalent to painting’s surface for the emerging pattern of repetition. In Lejman’s words, “the structure of the mass ornament is abstract, but is not a mere abstraction. The aesthetic pleasure provided by the statistical tapestries is a form of information anesthesiology. It neutralizes the fact of being a product of a shared destiny and organic life, the function of individual personalities with unique souls”.

Central Air Condition (Use and Care)

is a work dedicated to the conditioning role of the information we “inhale” on a daily basis, and its physical effect on our survival. The gallery space is conditioned by the synthesis of information extracted from the media—creating a glass house effect, whereby information is reduced to temperature, humidity and ventilation conditions. The impact is direct. In this project, the ornamental, floral pattern designed for the gallery is created from recorded images of crowds in motion, both real and virtual.

Jiun-ting Lin :: Psyche-Zone
Jiun-ting Lin is the first recipient at Location One of the Yageo Tech-Art Award of the ACC. If “installation art” gives the audience a spatial perception at a fixed point in time, then Jiun-Ting Lin’s work can be experienced as “time and space installations.” His current work, Psyche-Zone, attempts to create a space in which the viewer experiences shifts of sensation between immediate perspective and experiential memory, a certain place in the “here and now,” simultaneously representing the infinite unfolding of the “there and then.” In his installations, Jiun-ting Lin attempts to create a time and space that is sealed like a capsule, devoid of “venue” meaning, distinct from heterogeneous art space or undefined “wasteland space.”

Javier Viver :: EspHeM
Javier Viver is currently developing EspHeM, a utopian company whose mission is to offer a new formula of portable habitat prototypes. Through the appropriation of packaging systems, EspHeM questions the concepts of material security in a mass consumer-driven society. During the exhibition, prototypes of temporary living structures will be displayed in a booth, while general information on EspHeM can be accessed at http://www.location1.org/esphem, a website that the artist created largely during his residency.

LOCATION ONE’S INTERNATIONAL RESIDENCY PROGRAM
The central purpose of Location One’s International Residency Program is to encourage collaboration by inviting artists from all over the world and different media to experiment with advanced technological tools and delivery systems, and to develop new work. We encourage artists at all levels of experience to participate: they are given studio space, unprecedented technical support and guidance, and access to computer-assisted digital tools.

SPONSORS:
Asian Cultural Council; Center for Dansk Billedkunst (DCA Foundation); Denmark Statens Kunstfond (National Endowments for the Arts, Denmark); Det Danske Kultur Institut, Denmark; Fonds voor Beeldende Kunst, Vormgeving en Bouwkunst (Netherlands); Fundacio Marcelino Botn (Spain); Fundao Calouste Gulbenkian (Portugal); Kosciuszko Foundation; Luso-American Development Foundation; The Milton and Sally Avery Foundation; Polish Cultural Institute in New York; Trust for Mutual Understanding; Yageo Corporation, (Taiwan) (The Yageo Corporation of Taiwan has recently created the “Yageo Tech-Art Award of the ACC”, a special annual award enabling a Taiwanese artist to participate in Location One’s International Residency Program for 6 months.

PART TWO (a 24-hour networked event on world conflict)

The focus of this ongoing investigation is to seek, in an informal way, the discursive possibilities of a relatively new practice—the live digital video mix. Six artists will experiment with this new medium to explore alternative ways of thinking about heavily mediated world events.

For 24 hours, from 8:00 PM Tuesday, October 29 to 8:00 PM Wednesday, October 30 (EST), we will be monitoring the news from different media (television, radio, newspapers, internet, etc.) in order to produce our own version of the “Evening News”. Using excerpts from the day’s news, Part Two (a 24-hour networked event on world conflict) will center on the media spectacle of war. The recorded broadcast of this event will serve as the backbone for a live session where the video artists will mix previously compiled images and sounds from different sources. A live feed from a current television news channel will also be incorporated into the performance. The experiment seeks to resist the prevailing media discourse by breaking its present structures and creating alternative audiovisual configurations that challenge the mechanisms for “manufacture of consent”.

visitors to the website are invited to post their comments on the message board.

The news will be presented live at Location One and netcast at http://location1.org at 8:00 PM on Wednesday.

Artists: Ayreen Anastas, François Bucher, Rene Gabri, Isabelle Jenniches, Tanya Leighton, and John Menick.

Interview from Isabelle Jenniches with Carole Stakena, Deputy Director and Curator,
Creative Time, New York

October 2002 –June 2003
Isabelle Jenniches received her Master’s degree in Scenography from the Academy of Applied Art in Vienna, Austria, and a postgraduate degree in Digital Media, Communication and the Arts from Media-GN, the Netherlands. In her work, which often evolves out of close collaborations with other artists, actors, dancers and musicians, Isabelle exploits the social and emotional impact of new forms of mediated communication in theatrical situations, using, for example, telepresent characters.

In her onsite/online performances, she often draws upon such “low tech” sources as the ubiquitous public webcam, and her ongoing compulsive collections of found footage from the Internet. Isabelle Jenniches’ work has been shown in such venues as Theater de Balie, Amsterdam, Grand Theatre,
Groningen, Society for Old and New Media, De Waag, Amsterdam and the World Wide Web.

During Isabelle’s residency at Location One, she will explore the concept of solitary as well as shared realtime telecasting and streaming media.

Location One is grateful to The Netherlands Foundation for Visual Arts, Design and Architecture for supporting Isabelle’s residency.

In this unique collaboration between Mac Wellman and an international group of Location One artists each performance will combine live and electronic elements; a live actor will perform at three of the five scheduled events; artists connected to a network both locally and remotely will respond to the performer and the script using collaborative software to manipulate in realtime video images and audio elements. These large-scale images will then be projected onto the gallery walls and online at www.location1.org.

Location One is most grateful to the New York State Council on the Arts and the City of New York Department of Cultural Affairs for their generous support of this project.

Video Manipulation by Isabelle Jenniches (in Amsterdam), Eric Redlinger and Heather Wagner
Masks and Puppets created by Shannon Harvey
Performers: John Capalbo, Jeff Grow, Jocelyn Ruggiero
Daemons & Psychopomps is a live Performance/Video/Music event inspired by the myth of Persephone. In the Location One gallery space, Ned Rothenberg and Ikue Mori will play live improvised music, while four large projections on the walls of the gallery will show the work created by video artists in NYC and Amsterdam, connected over the internet via collaborative software. The video artists will manipulate the images of actors in masks, performing in the project room of the gallery, and images captured prior to the live event. Additionally, the musicians will affect certain aspects of the images through the music they play. This entire event will be streamed live on the Location One website.

Please join us in the gallery or online at www.location1.org for this unique and exciting event.

The Myth of Persephone
According to myth, Persephone, maiden goddess and daughter of earth goddess Demeter, is captured by Hades and forced to live in the Underworld with him as his consort and queen. Demeter, enraged and grief-stricken over the abduction of her daughter, allows everything on earth to die. To help gain Persephone’s release, she appeals to several of the male gods; they comply and Hades is forced to release Persephone. However, while living in the Underworld, Persephone has eaten seeds of the pomegranate (food of the dead), and she is forced by cosmic law to return to the Hades for a portion of each year, thus creating vegetative cycles and seasons.

In this re-imagining of the myth, Persephone may or may not be a willing participant in her own abduction. The night before she must return to Demeter, Hades throws a festive farewell party in his queen’s honor and the partygoers feast on pomegranate seeds which may or may not be hallucinogenic. A hedonistic Bacchanalian fest ensues as revelers celebrate Persephone’s last night. Hangovers abound as Demeter comes to claim her daughter.

The puppets and masked used for this performance were originally created for the Messenger Theatre Company production of PERSEPHONE written and directed by Emily Davis at RedLAB in Spring 2002, produced by Agathe David Weill. PERSEPHONE will be performed at the NYC Fringe Festival (August 9-25 http://www.fringenyc.org ). For more info email messengertheatreco@yahoo.com.

Location One announces the last performance of its Spring Music Series, which will be an evening with Zeena Parkins and Janene Higgins, presenting their latest works, Arch and How I See the World, #1. With electric harp, processors, multiple projections, and cameras, they perform a live music/live video duet. Parkins continues her sonic research on her self-invented electric harp, a hybrid of an acoustic harp and an electric guitar. Higgins utilizes video mixers and cameras in a live performance setting, enabling her to “play” the video as a musician would play an instrument. The performance will be presented in the gallery and be streamed live at www.location1.org.

Arch considers the human body and its penetration into architecture and the urban landscape. The piece premiered at Roulette, New York City, in May 2000 as part of their Festival of Mixology. It since has been taped for Roulette TV, airing in early 2001, and was part of the December music series at Phill Niblock’s Experimental Intermedia. How I See the World is the first of a series of more purely improvisational works.

The duo have been collaborating for five years. Their last full-length piece, Artificial Eye, premiered in Kassel, Germany, for Documenta X. Other presentations include Music Unlimited festival in Wels, Austria and at the City of Women festival in Slovenia.

The development of Arch was partially funded by a grant from The Experimental Television Center, which is supported in part by the New York State Council on the Arts.

Zeena Parkins
multi-instrumentalist, improviser, composer, is a leading light in European and North American ‘Other Music’ circles. A frequent guest of festivals covering the broadest spectrum of musical activity, she is not only one of the pioneers of the electric harp, and extended techniques and digital processing on the acoustic and electric harps, but a composer with a unique vision of how to meld acoustic and electronic processes, in pieces such as Isabelle, Mouth=Maul=Betrayer, Pan-Acousticon and VOU-Valley of Unrest. Zeena has performed and/or recorded with (among others): John Zorn, Ikue Mori, Fred Frith, Elliott Sharp, Jim O’Rourke, Thurston Moore, Lee Renaldo, David Shea and Pauline Oliveros and has toured throughout Europe, Japan in Russia and in the States. Recent collaborations include scores for choreographers Neil Greenberg, Emmanuelle Vo-Dinh, Jennifer Lacey and video artist Janene Higgins. Zeena is a recipient of the prestigious grant for Contemporary Performance Arts, numerous commissioning funds from Mary Flagler Cary Trust, the Jerome Foundation, a Rockefeller Foundation grant, and Nysca Composer Commission. Most recently Zeena performed with Yoko Ono at the Japan Society and has also been working with Bjšrk on her newest record.

Janene Higgins
is a graphic designer and video artist living in New York City. Since 1996, her videos and digital media have been presented in numerous festivals throughout the world, including New York and Chicago’s Underground Film Festivals, The Barcelona Festival of Independent Video, Art Institute of Chicago, The Impakt Festival in Holland, New York Lesbian & Gay Film Festival, Experimenta Festival in Buenos Aires, The Hamburg Short Film Festival, and at New York’s Irving Plaza. In the realm of live video performance she has worked with such artists as Vernon Reid, Prema Murthy, Wharton Tiers, sculptor Jude Tallichet, and has an ongoing duo with Zeena Parkins. She is a frequent artist-in-residence at The Experimental Television Center in Owego, New York, and was a recent recipient of their Finishing Funds grant. Her latest video, We Hate You Little Boy, was featured in the multimedia exhibits “FACING FEAR” at the San Francisco Art Commission Gallery, and “VIVISECTION” at Location One in NYC.
