For your reading and listening pleasure, we have a hefty issue loaded with features and reviews on a diverse range of international noise makers. Our audio player is once again replenished with new sounds, so turn up the volume and enjoy !

"Something New: Moritz von Oswald Trio" (feature)
Vertical Ascent sees Moritz von Oswald return to the fray to conspire with fellow tech-vets, Vladislav Delay and Max Loderbauer. A hybrid of techno, dub and Fourth World fusion, the timbral density, low- and high-end science, and a certain recursion are remotely familiar from of old, with something new coming from a live performance element.

"Something Old: Monolake, Fluxion" (feature)
The 15th year of Monolake was inaugurated with Silence. Robert Henke's latest evidences plenty still left in the creative tank. Something old, renewed. The same cannot be said for lately returned once fellow-traveller, Fluxion, whose dub and tech-house infused Perfused gives off a less than fresh aroma. Something old, alas, gone blue.

"21st Century Preparation Man" (review)
Eric Glick Rieman's prepared Rhodes electric piano involves as much dismantling as insertion, with the insides spread across the performing space, not to mention electronic preparations. What sets Rieman's music apart immediately are the mechanical noises and other native artifacts of the original instrument.

"Fear of Stranglers - Gail Priest" (review)
For some time now, Gail Priest has been exploring the timbre and elasticity of sound in a way that has become distinctly her own. Her new ep, Fear of Stranglers, is the next installment of this exploration, and takes her vocal and sonic manipulations to new levels of textural improvisation and processing.

"Flight of the Solstice Queens - Blue Sausage Infant" (review)
Washington DC based Blue Sausage Infant paints a dizzying array of sonic wash pulsing with color and Flight of the Solstice Queens does not fit neatly in any given sub-genre of drone, noise, or psyche rock.

"L Phantasm - Brown Wing Overdrive" (review)
New York extreme noise improvisers, Brown Wing Overdrive are back with another sonic assault with their new album L Phantasm. A "best of" collection from their haunted states circa 2006 and beyond, they describe it as a "prequel to all of BWO's releases thus far." Roger Mills investigates.

"Something Blue: Pop Ambient 2010" (review)
Kompakt marks each year with an issue of drone and tone poems showcasing the best in neo-classical and ambient. Pop Ambient 2010, curated by Kompakt kommissar Wolfgang Voigt, coordinates the usual shades of blue from perennials Marsen Jules, Andrew Thomas, and Thomas Fehlmann, while Brock van Wey makes a PA debut.

"Something Borrowed: Dettman, Van Hoesen" (review)
Berlin's Marcel Dettmann, pre-eminent post-mnml practitioner, delivers his debut, Dettman, which, for all its veneer, is deep in debt to classic techno. Fellow-traveller Belgian producer Peter van Hoesen’s solution to "Techno: the LP Problem" is to tinker with tempo and texture, his Entropic City relieved by cranked down bpms and grit spray.

This exhibition presents the work of 10 distinguished artists who are dealing with issues regarding Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transexual civil rights. Fundamental concerns include gay marriage, the AIDS crisis, religious and legislative persecution, hate crimes and gay sexuality.

Gay marriage is a controversial issue and a subject that Brooklyn based artist Patricia Cronin personally confronts through her well-known classically sculpted funerary monument Memorial To A Marriage. She also presents her intimate series of erotic watercolors. The AIDS crisis devastated the gay community beginning in the 1980s. Outspoken artists affected by this disease explored its effects in their artwork. One of the most influential figures of this time was New York based artists David Wojnarowicz. His “Untitled”(One Day this Kid…) reveals an intimate narrative that shows how devastating this disease is. More recently, Daniel Goldstein’s Medicine Man approaches AIDS on conceptual level. The suspended human-shaped sculpture consists of steel wire threaded with nearly 300 donated empty HIV medication bottles and 139 syringes. The sculpture is beautiful in spite of its foundation in hopelessness and despair. Arthur Robinson Williams presents intimate portraits of transgendered individuals and couples undergoing physical and emotional transformation in his photographic series My Right Self. Zanele Muholi takes us on a photographic journey through post-apartheid South Africa focusing on the subjective experiences of black lesbians in two of her series Only Half The Picture and Being. The following artists are included in this exhibition:

Eric Avery (Texas)
Patricia Cronin (New York)
Daniel Goldstein (California)
Brian Kenny (New York)
Slava Mogutin (New York)
James Morrison (New York)
Zanele Muholi (South Africa)
Conrad Ventur (New York)
Arthur Robinson Williams (Pennsylvania)
David Wojnarowicz (New York)

These 10 artists express their most intimate feelings and strive for recognition through their own fine art. This exhibition consists of a range of media including sculpture, photography, video, and mixed media. Coinciding with Houston’s Annual Pride Festival, this exhibition shares aesthetic, philosophical, and political views and experiences from a legitimate segment of society.

This exhibition will be on view on view from June 19, 2010 through September 19, 2010. This exhibition was curated by Tim Gonzalez with the help of the staff of the Station Museum.
The Station Museum is open Wed – Sun, 11am – 6pm. The museum is located in Midtown at the corner of Alabama and La Branch. Admission is always free. Please call to schedule tours.

Film screening schedule will be posted on Station Museum website: ]]> http://www.sanart.info/2010/06/because-we-are/feed/ 0 http://www.sanart.info/2010/06/out-of-the-blue/ http://www.sanart.info/2010/06/out-of-the-blue/#comments Fri, 04 Jun 2010 19:16:00 +0000 ArtCat http://www.sanart.info/2010/06/out-of-the-blue/feed/ 0 http://www.sanart.info/2010/06/abraham-cruzvillegas-inequality-reexamined-summer-2010/ http://www.sanart.info/2010/06/abraham-cruzvillegas-inequality-reexamined-summer-2010/#comments Thu, 03 Jun 2010 21:54:00 +0000 ArtCat http://www.sanart.info/2010/06/abraham-cruzvillegas-inequality-reexamined-summer-2010/feed/ 0 http://www.sanart.info/2010/06/marisa-olson-double-bind-2/ http://www.sanart.info/2010/06/marisa-olson-double-bind-2/#comments Thu, 03 Jun 2010 20:03:32 +0000 Rhizome.org Announcements Berkeley Art Museum & Pacific Film Archive

A double bind is commonly known as a paradox or conflicting set of demands. But it also has a specific meaning in the world of cybernetics, where it refers to messages that conflict with each other at different levels of meaning, making it difficult for the recipient to determine the nature of the paradox, to confront the inherent dilemma, or to escape the conflict.

Marisa Olson's Double Bind (2010) is a two-channel internet video project involving two clips simultaneously and perpetually linked to each other as YouTube response videos. While the webcam-recorded clips clearly represent the before-and-after actions of Olson wrapping and unwrapping her head in pink vinyl bondage tape, their recursive linking and synced looping problematize their chronology. This perpetual feedback loop takes the word 'tape' as a double entendre, as it plays back the tropes of early feminist video art, while venturing into the stickier, tapeless world of digital memes. Despite the cause and effect narrative structure embedded in the work, there is a glaring lack of motivation beyond the recitation and unraveling of these pre-recorded histories.

Like much of Olson's interdisciplinary work, Double Bind embodies a desire to both participate-in and critique cultural phenomena. The artist's parallel research practice explores the ways in which the internet and other social media enable such forms of critical parody. In this case, she takes on what she perceives as the relative "prohibition" of art history (its own form of pop), and explores the public platform of the internet as a viable site for cultural critique.

Both channels of Double Bind will be presented side-by-side on a dedicated webpage, for Olson's exhibition. However, behind this screen the videos will be subject to the unanticipatable comments and response videos of a viewing public predominantly unaware and unconcerned about the work's status as art or its participation in art historical discourse. The artist explains that relinquishing control over the reception of her work in this way is just as pleasurable to her as any of the more classical forms of masochism implied in the videos. Essentially binding herself to broader digital culture, the true impulse in Olson's critique is a desire to pierce the confines of the white cube so as to engage more directly with participatory media. Double Bind therefore positions us between the false dilemmas of high and low culture or utopic and dystopic views of media culture.

Marisa Olson is a New York based artist, curator, and writer who is currently Assistant Professor of New Media at SUNY-Purchase. Her artistic practice ranges from performance to installation to video to net art and her subjects range from participation in pop culture to the aesthetics of failure. She has shown at the Venice Biennale, Centre Pompidou, and Whitney Museum; screened at the BFI and Sundance; been a visiting artist at Yale, Brown, and Penn; curated programs and shows at the Guggenheim, SFMOMA, and the New Museum; written for Afterimage, FlashArt, and Art Review; and been written about in Artforum, the New York Times, and Wired. She is a PhD Candidate in Rhetoric and Film at UC Berkeley and studied History of Consciousness at UC Santa Cruz.]]> http://www.sanart.info/2010/06/marisa-olson-double-bind-2/feed/ 0 http://www.sanart.info/2010/06/invitational-2-yolanda-sanchez-jason-rohlf-jeri-eisenberg-tamar-zinn/ http://www.sanart.info/2010/06/invitational-2-yolanda-sanchez-jason-rohlf-jeri-eisenberg-tamar-zinn/#comments Thu, 03 Jun 2010 19:43:07 +0000 ArtCat http://www.sanart.info/2010/06/invitational-2-yolanda-sanchez-jason-rohlf-jeri-eisenberg-tamar-zinn/feed/ 0 http://www.sanart.info/2010/06/arizona-artists-respond-to-the-immigration-issue/ http://www.sanart.info/2010/06/arizona-artists-respond-to-the-immigration-issue/#comments Wed, 02 Jun 2010 17:05:16 +0000 ArtCat http://www.sanart.info/2010/06/arizona-artists-respond-to-the-immigration-issue/feed/ 0 http://www.sanart.info/2010/06/meandering-art-school-advocating-outsiderness/ http://www.sanart.info/2010/06/meandering-art-school-advocating-outsiderness/#comments Wed, 02 Jun 2010 16:19:19 +0000 Matthew Newton http://blog.art21.org/?p=21639 http://www.sanart.info/2010/06/meandering-art-school-advocating-outsiderness/feed/ 0 http://www.sanart.info/2010/06/netex-calls-and-deadlines-june-2010/ http://www.sanart.info/2010/06/netex-calls-and-deadlines-june-2010/#comments Wed, 02 Jun 2010 07:46:13 +0000 Rhizome.org Announcements -------------------------------------
