Janene Higgins and Ikue Mori will perform a live duet of video and music.

JANENE HIGGINS’ videos and digital media have been presented internationally at numerous festivals and galleries throughout the world. She has developed a unique style for live video performance, utilizing video mixers and Powerbook as performance instruments. This brought collaborations with such artists as Alan Licht, Prema Murthy, Elliott Sharp, and Zeena Parkins. She has performed in many music festivals in Europe and North America, including Music Unlimited in Wels, Austria; the City of Women festival, Slovenia; Vasistas Festival of Multimedia, Montreal; Roulette Festival of Mixology, NYC, and at Documenta X.

IKUE MORI, one of New York’s most exciting improvisers and composers, has played with musicians such as Fred Frith, John Zorn, Zeena Parkins and Jim Staley. Ikue Mori has developed a personal and innovative technique of playing samplers triggered by adapted drum machines and incorporated laptop computer programming to broaden her scope of musical expression. Her most recent albums are Labyrinth, solo computer (Tzadik 2001), One Hundred Aspects of the Moon (Tzadik 2000), Painted Desert (Avant) with guitarists Marc Ribot and Robert Quine, Death Praxis (Nonsequitor) with vocalist Tenko, and Vibraslaps (Rec Rec) with singer Catherine Jauniaux. Other recent projects include the collaboration Mephista (Tzadik, 2002) with Sylvie Courvoisier and Susie Ibarra. She has also recorded as a member of the groups Fukuko, Tohban Djan, and The Worlds Of Love (with David Garland and Cinnie Cole). Mori was a member of the legendary late ’70s “No Wave” group DNA (with Arto Lindsay) who can be heard on albums on Avant and American Clave, and on the Brian Eno-produced No New York compilation on Antilles. Ikue has given workshops at the International Percussion Festival in Berlin, and performed at NY Symphony Space and Derek Baily’s Company Week in London. In 1999 she won the Distinctive Award for Prix Ars Electonics in the Digital Music category.

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.

May 1 – May 30, 2000

Lisa Bateman, Janene Higgins, Luther Price, Carolee Schneemann, Miroslaw Rogala

Location One is happy to announce the initiation of our film/video program with “Vivisection”, a video installation featuring work by Lisa Bateman, Janene Higgins, Luther Price, Miroslaw Rogala, and Carolee Schneemann.This work will appear in the gallery and will be streamed on our website.

“…suppressive taboos, the body of the artist in dynamic relationship with the social body”. This phrase, taken straight out of the biography of Carolee Schneemann, the brilliant multidisciplinary artist, whose collaborative video, made with Miroslaw Rogala, makes its US premiere in this show, is the key to all of these acutely perceptive short videos.

We will also begin our evening programming this month, every Monday through Thursday from 8-10 PM. The same day each week will be curated by a guest curator. Monday nights will belong to Pamela Grace, Tuesday to Mark McElhatten, Wednesday to Seamus Coutts, Thursday (TBA) Admission is $2.50.

Lisa Bateman
is a visual artist living and working in New York. Her current works are installations using painted and colored surfaces, mirrors, optics, found objects and video. She is increasingly interested in the history of particular sites, locations and institutions. She has exhibited in over thirty group exhibitions and six one-person shows in both the US and Europe. Her next projects will incorporate images of “learning” and “training” from the Global Institute of Technology and federal government programs in Manhattan. She teaches studio art and lectures in contemporary art at Pratt Institute in New York.

Janene Higgins
is a graphic designer and video artist living in New York City. Her videos and digital media have been presented in numerous festivals and galleries throughout North America, Europe and Japan. She has just completed her fourth artist residency at The Experimental Television Center in Owego, New York. Her work includes live video mixing in a performance setting, most often in an ongoing duo with electric harpist Zeena Parkins. Their latest piece, Arch, will premiere at Roulette this May.

Luther Price
Luxuriously laminated unforgiving process. Crusty enjeweled with imperfection. Oxygen tank, oxygen tank. Skies of white that turn blue the same day. Praying while fucking on a lollipop, for something to do with tomorrow. Ice cream cake. An eyeball kiss. Chickpeas and macaroni or hamburger stew. Toenails and colostomy bags full of corn and turkey gravy drag you down when your stomach is full of staples. Larger than life we scream, then whisper before we die.

Carolee Schneemann
multidisciplinary artist. Transformed the definition of art, especially discourse on the body, sexuality, and gender. The history of her work is characterized by research into archaic visual traditions, pleasure wrested from suppressive taboos, the body of the artist in dynamic relationship with the social body. Painting, photography, performance art and installation works shown at Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art; Whitney Museum of American Art; Museum of Modern Art, NYC; Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris; and most recently in a retrospective at the New Museum of Contemporary Art in New York entitled “Up To And Including Her Limits”. Film and video retrospectives Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris; Museum of Modern Art, NY; National Film Theatre, London; Whitney Museum, NY; San Francisco Cinematheque; Anthology Film Archives, NYC. She has taught at many institutions including New York University, California Institute of the Arts, Bard College, the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Recipient of a 1999 Art Pace International Artist Residency, San Antonio, Texas; Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant (1997, 1998); 1993 Guggenheim Fellowship; Gottlieb Foundation Grant; National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship. Honorary Doctor of Fine Arts, Maine College of Art, Portland, ME. Lifetime Achievement Award, College Art Association.
