A long stroll and purposefully slow visit to the Armory Show last week opened my eyes to quite a bit. In addition to being exposed to new artists (my main reason for attending) and a futile attempt at spotting gallery exhibition trends (Lots of neon? Painting is back? And besides large C-prints, could fine art [...]

Work from Hello Hi There.
“Hello Hi There is a performance without people – a literal expression of post-humanism, and simultaneously an examination of what it means to be human. The piece goes inside the question of human na…

Chris Burden has created this piece Metropolis II, a kinetic sculpture consisting of 1200 Hot Wheels cars.

In 1996, Jennifer Ringley took a video camera and placed it on her computer.  The camera was nothing new: a simple web camera with light broadcasting capabilities.  She signed on, told the world she was streaming her life unfiltered, and the Internet birthed one of its first micro-celebrities. Little more than a decade later, the [...]

Back when I was in college, I interned in the education department at Dia:Beacon and gave tours of the museum. When the weather was warm, we would start outside the building, slipping into [...]

THE MOOD ROOM (working title)<br />
<br />
CALL TO PARTICIPATE <br />
deadline for 2nd group: Friday, october 29<br />
CONTACT: projects(at)gouvrit.org <br />
<br />
————————- <br />
Description: <br />
This is an interactive sound installation that communicates an atmosphere of sadness or anger in a small empty room occupied only by speakers. Sadness and anger are experienced by the public through voices that speak about individuals’ experiences and how they feel about those emotions. <br />
<br />
Concept: <br />
Sadness and anger are often connected and usually targeted on one object, person or event. People feeling them can jump from one emotion to the other, depending on what is around them. Your experiences will be interpreted, recorded, and played during the exhibition.<br />
<br />
A person, an event or a situation, sometimes more traumatic than others, may have placed you in between a sad and an angry situation, and this piece, as some form of collective therapy <br />
<br />
The piece intends to make people in the room be overwhelmed by an atmosphere of these emotions. <br />
<br />
How to Participate: <br />
Write a page (300-500 words) in english, french or spanish about your experiences with these 2 emotions. Your text can describe a situation, express how you feel, how you face these feelings, or any kind of text about your experiences. The texts will be catalogued, interpreted, recorded and incorported to the sound database for the piece.<br />
<br />
For more information about what is expected, contact me. <br />
<br />
This is a collective piece about experiences, and each participant will be listed with either their full name or just their first name if they wish to be anonymous.<img src="http://rhizome.org/syndicate/nothing.gif?f=announce" border="0"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/rhizome-announce/~4/a_ecTnmFcZ8" height="1" width="1"/>

While I love Shok-1′s recent monochrome fixation the colour in this latest piece really makes the image ‘pop’ off the wall. Shok claims that he’s only working his way back to full colour at present so expect more hues to creep in on the next …

The latest copy of VNA  (verynearlyalmost) landed on the doormat this morning with a reassuring thud. Sure enough its another 100 pages of quality content with the usual great pictorial roundups of graffiti, tags, stickers, stencils and paste ups….
