Works on Water Triennial

Advocacy Splash-Down

Wed June 14th  7:30-9 at 80 Green

At one time, art was science’s illustrator. Today, Water Art can go well beyond illustration to serve science and the natural world directly by posing questions, exposing realities, acquiring data, advocating for natural resources, and– in some cases– affecting policy change. Advocacy Splash-Down promises to be a lively conversation, with WoW artists Mary Mattingly and Sto Len, and New York Aquarium Resident Artist Christy Gast showing a 3 minute stop-motion film created with teens doing advocacy around ocean plastics. Joining them will be Noah Chesnin of the New York Seascape Program and New York Times Business Day editor Ellen Pollock. 

Works on Water is presented by New Georges with 3LD Art & Technology Center and Urban Water Artists in collaboration with Guerilla Science.

SEPTEMBER presents Post-Election, an exhibition of over 150 artists co-organized by Kristen Dodge and Kate Gilmore. This exhibition was conceived in conversation between Kristen and Kate a few days after the U.S. Presidential Election. With the intention of providing a reason, space, and context for artists to respond to the current circumstance, they agreed to set a show in motion, and allow the call to take on a life of its own. Word spread between artists and within a short time, the number of participants rose from 50 to 170. The current list of participating artists is included below.

“If you choose to make a work that addresses things internal, or external, or some state in-between, that is up to you. Make what you need to make in whatever form, and at whatever pitch you choose.” -Excerpt from the call to participate.

If we stop to comprehend the “unrealistic” endeavors that we pursue, we would never do them. This show has been a leap of faith and a truly collaborative endeavor.

When Species Meet @ Telemark Art Center

WHEN SPECIES MEET
19.11.2016 -15.01.2017

Christy Gast, Søssa Jørgensen, Tove Kommedal, Jean Painlevé and Kjersti Vetterstad

Curated by: Karolin Tampere 

It is said that the practice of different forms of art is what divides us from other species on the planet. But what happens if we open up to a wider interpretation of expressions in a more including perspective? And what happens if we let animals, plants and microorganisms decide their own future?

The title When Species Meet is borrowed from the feminist, biologist and science historic Donna J. Haraways´ book with the same name (2008). Haraway considers humans´ interaction with different types of insects and animals, especially domestic, and encourages us to se human and animals as companion species. Rather than seeing human as something unique, it is a coexistence, a becoming with.

The exhibition ‘When Species Meet’ will include sculpture, video, performance, sound, text, installation and lectures. As part of the Wednesday program at Telemark Art Center we will invite selected artists, thinkers and scientists, whom reflects around or work with the subject, to discuss different relations between human and other living organisms on earth.

We already know that our body is the home of millions of bacteria. Whom am “I” if “I” am never completely alone?
 
The exhibition is a successor to ‘FUTURUM- moving mountains’ from April 2016. 

Telemark Art Center guest curator in 2016:
Karolin Tampere is a visual artist and freelance curator who’s practice deals with enaging in collaborative practices taking on different roles within the field of visual arts. She approaches curating as an socio-political arena that has a critical responsibility which can foster alternative understandings of ecology and new models of sustainability.

Cuadernos de Arte Interview

Conversation with Carla Macchiavello in the Chilean art journal Cuadernos de Arte 

Belong and Observe @ Médiatheque du FMAC, Geneva

Christy Gast will have three videos on view at Médiathèque du Fonds d’art contemporain in Geneva, Switzerland. The exhibition, “belong and observe”, features work that Gast created in Tierra del Fuego with the research collective Ensayos. From Tierra del Fuego to South Africa by way of Germany, “belong and observe” – or how to belong to the world while being capable of observing it – presents a selection of works which question the links between living beings and their territories. The exhibition takes as its basis the animal films of the biologist and director Jean Painlevé (1902-1989), which overlay a didactic argument on surprisingly modern images. The works of other artists display the over-use of natural resources, and the impact of human activities on fauna, flora, and landscapes.

Touch & Go @ The LeRoy Neiman Art Gallery

Touch & GO is an exhibition of sculpture and video that brings together a diverse group of artists whose work is connected through an investigation of materials in the specific and the metaphoric. Each of the contributing artists investigates via the hand using unconventional or invented means of making. The sensitivity and irreverence practice of making informs the video pieces selected for the exhibition; each artist’s curiosity and discontent expand into the moving image as they carry fantasy, communication, and the body into unexpected territories.

Featuring works by Sarah Anderson, Christy Gast, Frank Heath, Kevin Hernández, Alexander Rosenberg and Ozie194

Curated by Bryan McGovern Wilson ’17
Tuesday, September 6–Wednesday, October 5, 2016

Playing Favorites @ Wayfarers

 

Playing Favorites
A collaboration between A.W. Strouse & the members of Wayfarers

For Playing Favorites, we invited poet and curator A.W. Strouse to explore Wayfarers members’ studios and select works that he thought might serve as points of departure for his writing.

He describes the poems he has written in response as “little odes in the style of Horace. A characteristic feature of the Horatian ode is that the odes are each addressed to specific people or things… a kind of dialogue, with a particular addressee receiving the poem. [These] poems are addressed sometimes to the object, sometimes to the artist, sometimes to the viewer.”

The writings have then been illustrated with drawings of the selectedworks by our beloved board member Patty Barth and printed as a limited edition gift to visitors that also serves as an inventory of the exhibition.

Please join us for the opening reception of Playing Favorites Friday, December 16th, from 7 – 10 pm to receive your gift.

Also: there will be cake.

Organised by Randi Nygård and Karolin Tampere together with Henrik Sørlid at Kurant.

What can science, law, management, language, and cultural expressions tell us about our relationship with nature? Does nature have other inherent values than potentially being a resource for us to use? Is society part of the ecosystem and the ecosystem part of society? Or is it necessary to view ourselves as outside of nature in order to manage it?

The exhibition at Kurant is the start of a long term project taking place in 2016 and 2017, departing from section two in the introduction to the ‘Norwegian Marine Resources Act’ of 2008, which states “Wild living marine resources belong to Norwegian society as a whole”. The law made the management of the Ocean into a ecosystem-based management.

We wish to look at this legal document from many different perspectives; through the nuanced information given by researchers, fishermen and locals, through translations of the text into concrete objects and sounds, and through poetical interpretations. What does local experience-based knowledge say about management in relationship to the perspectives of the law? How can you understand an ecosystem as a whole? Is it possible to see ourselves as part of nature in new ways through studying it, through curious attention, direct contact and playful investigation? Our language most often separates nature and culture, but if nature in itself is a kind of evolving language, does it contain the same division? Are there powers in nature writing us and our culture forth? And is our freedom, our expressions, and our consciousness, subsequently part of a larger wild living system which we are usually unable to perceive? How and which values are created in nature, science, and in our culture?

We will look at the law in scientific, artistic, and ordinary everyday terms, and through the symbolism and representation of objects. We want to include the seal, the whale, and the cod through sound, images and performances.

We are curious about ecosystem-based management, the culture and language of the cod, the influence that climate change is having on the wild living and on society as a whole. We want to expand our thoughts about what values nature contains. And we want to talk about what a society as a whole is, how it works and what kinds of responsibility its members have. We shall therefore start the project with conversations around the Marine Resources Act with professors in Arctic and Marine Biology, Fishery and Management, two employees at Fiskernes Agnforsyning, two local artists, an associate professor at the Faculty of Law musician, writer and Sami joik artist, a Post doc from Centre for Sami Studies, an associate professor of Ocean Law, the head of the biobank Marbank at The Institute of Marine Research, the head of Tromsø Natur og Ungdom and an biologist and director of The Wildlife Conservation Society in Chile. Aspects of the conversations will form part of the exhibition at Kurant, and there will be a publication in autumn.

By placing greater abstract systems, such as, climate models, information and data from science, politics or law, in contact with geographical areas, individuals, animals, plants and objects, and by interpreting this information in poetical, intuitive, and bodily manners, we hope new images of ourselves and nature can arise.

The exhibition-project is funded by Billedkunstnernes Vederlagsfond and Arts Council Norway. A great thank you to all the participants, Kysten Tromsø County and Norwegian Visual Artists Association`s (NBK) Artist-in-residency in Ny-Ålesund, Svalbard.

And thank you to Lise Doksæter and Petter Kvadsheim in the project “3S” (Sonar Safety Sea mammals) FFI, the Institute for Marine Research and Lise Langgård lending us their recorded sounds of fish and sea mammals.

19.00 Screening of THE AGRONAUT at Tromsø Filmklubb Verdensteateret followed by a conversation between Randi Nygård and the director Kjersti Vetterstad.

The eternal encounters the perishable in the documentary The Argonaut, which follows the hermit Montserrat Canudas Jorba’s life at her farm on a property outside the village El Bruc in the Spanish region of Catalonia. The title of the film plays with the greek myth Jason and the Argonauts and Jorba’s role as navigator in the landscape she lives in and off. The Argonaut is, as she imagines it, a time travel from the times of the fossils into the future. Close studies of plants and animals that inhabit the place, are juxtaposed with images and stories from Jorba’s life on the farm – a life marked by acceptance of the mechanisms that form our environment. «We shall all return to the earth» she says in the film. «We are also biodegradable».
Kjersti Vetterstad (1977) is an visual artist living in Drammen.

Sunday 13.03
The exhibition is open between 12.00-17.00

Wild living marine resources belong to society as a whole is a part of Ensayos#4, which is an interdisciplinary project that began in 2015 and deals with management, language, values and identity related to the ocean and the coast in certain parts of Norway and Chile. The goal is to understand, express and manage the big environmental issues we are facing in new and better ways. ENSAYOS is a program initiated in 2011 by curator Camila Marambio, the project is based on collective residency periods inspired by the existing conservations efforts of WCS Karukinka Natural Park and motivated by the strong sentiment that this location, despite its remoteness, is a cultural and geographical center from which to speculate and exercise emergent forms of bio- cultural ethics.

Fault Lines @ Gerald Peters Gallery

FAULT LINES

Feb 10 – Mar 18, 2016

For additional information, please visit: gppresents.com

GP Presents is a newly established Contemporary curatorial/project-based exhibition program located at Gerald Peters Gallery, New York.

GP Presents and Gerald Peters Gallery are pleased to announce Fault Lines: The Shifting Perspective on Landscape in American Art. Featuring work by 21st century artists Christy Gast, Shane McAdams, Jason Middlebrook, Kristine Moran, and Nick van Woert, in tandem with select works by 19th and 20th century artists, including Albert Bierstadt, John F. Kensett, Harold Weston, and Thomas Hart Benton, Fault Lines will explore the constant – and constantly changing – importance of landscape to the story of American art.

Throughout the history of American art, landscapes – both real and imagined – have been primary to the discipline; the reasons artists have embraced landscape are wide ranging. Nineteenth-century artist-explorers, such as John Mix Stanley or Albert Bierstadt, approached the landscape, on the one hand, from the perspective of recorders. They participated in geological surveys, making on-site studies of mountain, field, and stream. Back in their studios, these same artists played the parallel role of myth-makers, transforming these studies into grandiose and inspiring – often nationalistic and sometimes moralizing – vistas. Further into the nineteenth century, the nation’s growing industrialization encouraged artists and viewers alike to approach landscapes as an antidote to their increasingly urban existences. In the 1880s and 1890s, artists such as John Henry Twachtman viewed their landscape paintings in part as intellectual, aesthetic, and emotional escapes from reality. Throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries artists have continued to find transcendental meaning in nature. Artists such as Harold Weston experienced spiritual renewal in the meditative process of painting the natural world. Landscape, in its permanence, continued to offer stability in the fast-changing environment of the 20th century. 

Today, the notion of landscape is more expansive than it was for the pictorial realists of its history, and more contingent on subjective meaning. Similar to their predecessors, today’s landscape artists use their subject as a vehicle for interpreting reality, taking it apart and putting it back together again in a way that questions its significance and authenticity. The five contemporary artists included in Fault Lines thus connect their work to this history of landscape while also providing new contexts in which to view it and new processes and new media with which to create it.

Christy Gast continues the tradition of the artist-explorer, using a cross-country road trip to create a visual narrative of place and “collaborating with nature” to create her cyanotypes. Shane McAdams questions the materiality of nature and, with his sharpie landscapes, establishes a visual dialectic between represented, symbolic, and true nature, bringing into focus the tension between what is artificial and what is inherent to our environment. Jason Middlebrook relies on those inherent pieces of nature. He uses cross sections of trees – their flaws, scars, and rings – as “canvases” for his geometric, abstract sculptures. Kristine Moran’s fractured and fragmented views of man-made “landscapes” – the cultivated spaces of botanical gardens or the fabricated environments of greenhouses – investigate our evolving definition of, and continued reliance on, nature in an ever-urbanizing world. Nick van Woert creates conceptual, process-oriented sculptures that focus on the semantics of landscape, gathering his material from the built environment that surrounds his studio and using artificial materials to serve as substitutes for natural ones. The works that result from all of these artists call into question the meaning of landscape and our relationship to it.

The exhibition will be on view at Gerald Peters Gallery, 24 East 78th Street and continues through March 18th.
