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.

28 Apr – 9 May 2009

Rashaad Newsome: Compositions

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

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.

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

Cécile Paris: 3 videos and 3 songs

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
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.

Jeanette Doyle’s practice is primarily concerned with picture making. She is particularly interested in painting and its relationship to lens-based technologies.

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.

March 18 – April 23, 2005

Artists-in-Residence Nayda Collazo-Llorens (USA) and Santeri Tuori (Finland) will present video installations in Location One’s main gallery. With special thanks to NYSCA (New York State Council on the Arts) and FRAME (Finnish Fund for Art Exchange)

Nayda Collazo-Llorens
Nayda’s work in multiple media deals with issues of communication, accumulation and displacement. A combination of text, marks, objects, images, gestures or sounds are structured in a nonlinear manner. The work invites the viewer to reflect on the complexities of mind, language and the fragmented nature of our lives through a process of perceiving and understanding what is inside and around us.
Born in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Nayda lives and works in New York. In 2002, she received an MFA (Studio Arts) from New York University after graduating from Massachusetts College of Art, Boston with a BFA (Printmaking) in 1990.
She regularly exhibits in Puerto Rico and the US. 2004 projects include: “Channel V-6” for “The Peekskill Project” (Peekskill, Hudson, NY); “None of the Above: Contemporary Works by Puerto Rican Artists” (Real Art Ways, Hartford, CT), “Painting as Paradox”, Artists Space (NY); “Here and There: Six Artists from San Juan”, Museo El Barrio (NY). In 2004, she was awarded “Best Show, Year 2003”, (AICA), PR Chapter, San Juan.

Santeri Tuori
As a filmmaker, video artist and photographer whose main interest lies in the exploration of portrait identity and its construction, Santeri’s work is centered on the relationships between portraiture, photographs and moving images.
In 2003, Santeri completed an MFA at the University of Art and Design in Helsinki (Finland). In 1999, he received a Master of Law at the University of Helsinki.
He exhibits regularly in Finland and Europe. Recent exhibitions include a solo show at Malmoe

Santeri’s residency at Location One is supported by FRAME (Finnish Fund for Art Exchange).
