FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Hospitality: A Round Robin Collective Production at Arts@Renaissance
January 31 - March 14, 2012
Greenpoint, Brooklyn, NY

Hospitality draws on the Latin origins of the word hospitalis: relating to hosting a guest. Over time the word hospital has meant: charitable organization, a lodging for travelers, and a shetler for the poor. Throughout the months of February and March, Round Robin Collective artists and invited guests will occupy the former Greenpoint Hospital (now Arts@Renaissance) where they will explore different aspects of hospitality through collaborative artworks, installations, performances, and events.

In a common space, around a constructed and borrowed communal table, Round Robin will present a series of events that invite artists and members of the community to join us as guests and participants. Projects and participatory events will include film and video screenings, weekly drawing workshops, and potluck dinner discussions, as well as parties, and art making events for adults and children. These happenings will shape the space around them: through installations, the display of work produced on-site, and documentation of events, Round Robin Collective and guests will develop an alternative exhibition that re-imagines the former hospital space through shared collective insights.

Hospitality is not an exhibition in the traditional sense; it is an invitation to participate in a public practice and an incubator for art production, and the friendships and experiences that sustain and nurture it. By connecting disparate communities and cultivating new relationships, we seek to foster an exchange between not only artists and viewers, but also between art practice and social relationships.

Participating Artists Include:
Caitlin Berrigan, Mary Billyou, Amanda Browder, Caroline Burghardt, Kyla Ernst-Alper, Martin Esteves, Shannon Finnegan, Ryan Ford, Jen Galatioto, Barbara Hammer, Kathy High, Kerry Laitala, Lisa Leighton, Emcee C.M. Master of None, Deirdre McConnell, Katherin McInnis, Ray Oglesby, Suko Presseau, Christopher Rose, Martha Rosler, Lynne Sachs, Allison Schlegel, Amanda Tiller, Breanne Trammell, James Weingrod, Audra Woloweic, and others.

Please check our website (roundrobinbrooklyn.blogspot.com) or our Facebook page (Round Robin Collective) for a schedule of events and updates. For inquiries or additional information you may contact us at: roundrobinbrooklyn@gmail.com.

Reading Group : "On the Social Contract" by Jean-Jacques Rousseau
“Man was born free, and he is everywhere in chains” - these are the famous opening words of the treatise by Jean-Jacques Rousseau that helping inspire the writing of our Constitution. Rejecting the view that anyone has a natural right to wield authority over others, Rousseau argues instead for a pact, or 'social contract', that should exist between all the citizens of a state and that should be the source of sovereign power.
During these three meetings, we will read sections and discuss "On the Social Contract," by Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Collective reading allows for the ability to enter into difficult texts that might not be as easily accessible on an individual reader's level. An online PDF will be available for downloading.

Your Day is My Night
7 pm
Inspired by theater visionaries Augusto Boal and the Wooster Group, this collaboration grows from performance workshops that began in 2010 and will continue through our live media and theater-based exhibition in arts venues and public spaces. Sachs brings together Puerto Rican and Chinese participants who exchange stories around domestic life, immigration and personal-political upheaval. None of these people has ever worked in this cross-cultural way, so it is these process-oriented conversations on film and on stage that will, in the end, enhance their and their audience’s sense of the bed - experienced and imagined from profoundly different viewpoints.

Saturday March 10
7 pm
Journey Into Darkness
Kerry Laitala will present Journey into Darkness, a rare East Coast in-person screening by acclaimed filmmaker Kerry Laitala, whose work explores cinema's relationship to sex and death, illness and illusion, lies and lyricism. Films include Secure the Shadow, a "meditation on disintegration and mortality" using Victorian era medical photography; Out of the Ether, a dizzying exploration of institutions and infection; Awake but Dreaming, an uncanny, alchemical constellation of image and sound made and processed in a former youth prison. Laitala's films are a unique combination of animation, hand-painting and processing, optical effects, and sculptural elements.This project is made possible in part with public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts' Electronic Media and Film Presentation Funds grant program, administered by The ARTS Council of the Southern Finger Lakes (www.NYSCA.org - www.eARTS.org).
Upcoming Events Dates TBA:

Listening Loops
Audra Wolowiec
What does it sound like to listen? Can you hear someone hearing?
Interdisciplinary artist Audra Wolowiec will present a participatory event that explores listening through altered medical devices. This experiment in connective listening both join and separate while allowing participants to hear internal sounds just below the surface.

breathe deeply...move slowly...smile
Kyla Ernst-Alper
This project is a video installation made from a series of workshops/filming sessions within the space. A few of the sessions will be done with martial artists and dancers who have been training in Chi Kung (breathing exercises and simple movements similar to Tai Chi). At least one session (and possibly more) will be with members of the community who have no prior experience with Chi Kung.
The installation will be in three parts - an illustrated description of the project, a curtained station where one at a time people put on headphones and watch an instructional video and follow along, and the final edited video of the breathing and Chi Kung practices projected on a loop.

Snow Sculpture Day
Weather dependent! The first big snowfall of 2012 will be the source material for sculptures. Children welcome with parental supervision.

Round Robin Collective Rotating Exhibition

On one wall of the interior space, each of the current Round Robin Collective members will exhibit a single work, in a solo exhibit that will regularly rotate through the course of the exhibits’ calendar.

Courtyard Mural
Artist Ray Ogelsby will create a site-specific graffiti inspired mural on one of the courtyard walls.

RRC Table Project

The surfaces will be used during the workshops, events, dinners, and activities. Through this shared table project, we hope to create unity and the possibility of exchange amongst NYCs diverse community of arts collectives and organizations.

Please join us in the closing event on March 11th: a potluck, an informal conversation about collective art practice, and table pick-up. Alternatively, set up a time for table pick up / drop off.

If your collective/organization is interested in participating with an event, RRC invites you to submit a proposal here:

A Strange Sense of Calm

2011-12-16T14:53:00.000-08:00

December 3 – December 26, 2011 at Botanic

Opening Reception for the Artists

Friday 12.9.2011, 7 – 9 pm

150 Wycoff Ave, Brooklyn NY 11237

Gallery Sat/Sun 1 – 5 pm

Artists: Amanda Browder, Joy Drury Cox, Justin Goetz, Parinot Kunakornwong, JF Lynch, Paula Searing, Marc Slanger, Jessica Walker; curated by Paul M Nicholson

A Strange Sense of Calm is intended to shine light on to the notional and aesthetic meanderings of artists employing a drawing methodology in their creative practice. For this show finished and unfinished works were chosen from a group of 8 artists [most of who do not self-identify as drawers]. Nonetheless, each artist makes use of drawing in their own way, they have ideas, make plans, sketch things out, experiment, record and describe in some way as a part of their creative practice.

Drawing is a process to record, work out, and describe ideas using sign, symbol and form; it’s one of the oldest and most accessible ways of working that almost every practitioner in every discipline uses at one time or another. Moma’s recent exhibition, On Line; Drawing Through the Twentieth Century, put forth a persuasive argument in support of drawing’s “departure from the institutional definition of drawing” while abandoning the burden of the illusionistic representational image paradigm. Drawing as a practice has undoubtedly gone well beyond the page in this our digital era manifesting itself in every form imaginable, while at the same time mark-making has manages to maintain its importance.

Employing a minimalist sensibility, Justin Goetz’ 2011 piece “A Strange State of Calm”, uses deceptively simple approach which is the heart of this unique drawing exhibition. In this work we’re presented with a photocopied book of ephemeral line illustration depicting utopic homes, castles, manors, and other environments, all crafted in a strange state of calm.

Collaboratively Made NYC Short Docs

2011-11-29T13:12:00.001-08:00

Sunday, December 4 at 7:30pm, Audra Wolowiec, Mary Billyou, & Katherin McInnis will be presenting their collaborations, A Conversation, and At Sea, at Union Docs.

Exploring local issues as well as the universal, these collectives, collaboratives, and other partnerships utilize unique structures of organization and production.Tonight we will showcase short docs from a variety of contemporary local groups: the Brooklyn Filmmakers Collective, Round Robin Artist Collective, Internets Celebrities, Meerkat Media, and Rumur. While their subject matter, tone, and approach may differ, they all offer something exciting and unique to our rich landscape of group production.

Members from each organization in attendance to present shorts and participate in a group discussion. $9 suggested donation.

Off the Clock: Working with Flexible Labor, Social Networks and Everyday Life

2011-10-10T16:44:00.000-07:00

Public Program
Oct 11, 2011
7:00 PM
How do recent lateral, collaborative projects, ranging from artist-run spaces to curatorial initiatives to knowledge communities, counter the information/service-based economy and its elements of fluid social networks, entrepreneurial spirit, flexible labor management and interactions with daily life? Or do these art projects and communities utilize these factors and build upon them — in turn aligning with this mode rather than producing a disarming critique?

Screening of FOOD by Gordon Matta-Clark

2011-09-23T07:53:00.000-07:00

Sunday, October 2nd 7pm : Screening at Microscope Gallery, a LIVE / WORK SPACE event

Food by Gordon Matta-Clark

1972, 43 min, b&w, 16 mm film on video

This film documents the legendary SoHo restaurant and artists' cooperative Food, which opened in 1971. Owned and operated by Caroline Goodden, Food was designed and built largely by Matta-Clark, who also organized art events and performances there. As a social space, meeting ground and ongoing art project for the emergent downtown artists' community, Food was a landmark that still resonates in the history and mythology of SoHo in the 1970s.

Camera and Sound: Robert Frank, Suzanne Harris, Gordon Matta-Clark, Danny Seymour. Editing: Roger Welch

Dwellings: Charles Simonds by Rudy Burckhardt
1974, 12 min, color, 16mm film
American sculptor and architect Charles Simonds is seen during the winter of 1974 when he spent his days among the devastated tenements and vacant lots of Manhattan's Lower East Side, sculpting clusters of miniature dwellings for an imaginary civilization. These structures are nestled in crevices of deteriorating buildings and crumbling sidewalks: his work evokes themes of survival, dependency, fragility and visionary idealism.

Phantom Highway

A Slide Show by Katherin McInnis

Sunday, September 18th at 7pm

Microscope Gallery

4 Charles Place

Bushwick, Brooklyn, NY

Phantom Highway traces the path of the never-built Bushwick Expressway. Planned by Robert Moses in 1955 as part of federal Interstate 78, the expressway — connecting the Williamsburgh Bridge to routes to JFK — was scheduled for completion by 1975, but shelved by 1971. Following the freeway’s path tells a story of displacement and disinvestment, met with community resilience and reinvention.

New York Portrait #1 by Peter Hutton, 1978-79, 16mm
“Hutton’s sketchbook of mid-1970s New York, edited in three parts over twelve years, is a chronicle of indelible impressions and an act of urban archeology. The artist evokes the city’s delicate rhythms, tonal contrasts, and shifts of scale—scrims of white mist and black smoke, of gauze, cloud, and fluttering pennant; the shadowy geometries of tenements and water towers; palimpsests of graffiti, skywriting, and painted signs; ecstatic sunlight glinting off the wings of homing pigeons as they traverse a pillowy sky; the slight rustle of a homeless man’s shirt; the flowery patterns of rainwater draining from a flooded street; a blimp’s lazy progress between two buildings whose balconies resemble film sprockets; and a winter fog rolling over the sandy rivulets of Coney Island, making of it a lunar park, removed from time.” – Josh Siegel, Associate Film Curator, MoMA

Spirit by Jem Cohen, 2007, 7:30

"...The film is a domestic portrait of Patti and her son, Jackson. William Blake was invited in the form of a plaster cast of his death mask. Kurt Cobain, (conflicted, fierce, gentle, and another mother’s son) was invited as an admirer of Leadbelly. Cats were invited as household saints. The film invokes New York and rural America. It is about picking up guitars and doing dirty dishes." – Jem Cohen

Available Properties by Mary Billyou 2011

A real estate film from the East Riviera.

The Commoners by Jessica Bardsley + Penny Lane 2009
In 1890, a wealthy eccentric named Eugene Schieffelin collected every bird ever mentioned by Shakespeare and released them into Central Park. The only one to survive in the New World was the European Starling, now among the commonest – and most despised – birds in America. The Commoners is an essay film about European Starlings, poetry, the rhetorical relationship between nationalism and environmentalism, and the paths people forge through history as they attempt to improve the natural world.

This screening is held in conjunction with the current exhibit LIVE / WORK SPACE at Camel Art Space: a show of collaborative pieces revealing the productive qualities of shared conversations and the possibilites of liminal space.

Expanding the term to include imaginative space, LIVE / WORK SPACE makes visible Round Robin Collective’s productive, shared collaborations. Opening a candid view into the Collective’s work and the contexts in which it has been made, the exhibit features installation, sculpture, paintings, and videos, as well as a library of related texts culled from the artists' studios.

Allowing for conversation and critique, film screenings and informal discussions will be held on current and historical conditions under which artists live and work in New York City. In the spirit of open-ended experimentation, we understand space not as a static site, but as a mutable location with multiple functions. It is also a place of dreaming, doodling, and testing hypotheses.

The Round Robin Collective is a Brooklyn-based group of artists established in 2008 in response to the economic downturn of the art market. Pooling resources, the collective activates existing available spaces and works in all media, fostering a dynamic exchange across disciplines. The collective regularly hosts exhibitions and events, extending the spirit and discourse of the cooperative model to a broader public community. Current projects organized by RRC include Round Robin in Residence a month-long exhibition featuring new works by Collective artists, a limited edition portfolio, artist talks, and video screenings at A.I.R. Gallery in August of 2011 in D.U.M.B.O. Future projects will include Hospitality, an exhibition regarding the figure of the guest, at Arts@Renaissance in the Old Greenpoint Hospital, in January 2012.

Round Robin Collective is pleased to announce their residence at A.I.R. Gallery in DUMBO for the month of August. Members of the collective will exhibit new works and host a series of events throughout the month. Current collective members and exhibiting artists include: Mary Billyou, Amanda Browder, Caroline Burghardt, Lisa Caccioppoli, David Coyle, Martin Esteves, Jamie Kim, Deirdre McConnell, Katherin McInnis, Christopher Rose, Stephanie Rothenberg with Dan S. Wang, Janos Stone and Audra Wolowiec.

Round Robin Collective is a Brooklyn-based group of artists established in 2008 to forge connections and create a space for dialogue in and out of the studio. Meeting for monthly studio visits, members work in all media, fostering a dynamic exchange across disciplines and outside the commercial sphere. The collective hosts exhibitions and events in both conventional and non-traditional venues, extending the spirit and discourse of the cooperative model to a larger, public community. Previous projects organized by Round Robin Collective include Ecstatic, a month-long exhibition with over 30 artists and multiple events held in March 2010 at St. Cecilia’s, an abandoned convent in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Future projects include LIVE/WORK SPACE, an exhibition of collaborative works by members and guests at CAMEL Art Space in Williamsburg, Brooklyn in September 2011.

As the first artist run gallery for women in the United States, A.I.R. Gallery provides a professional and permanent exhibition space for women artists to present work of quality and diversity. A.I.R. Gallery was founded in 1972 by a group of women artists who desired to create a space to establish a voice and presence through their collective energies. Within Round Robin Collective, a similar energetic and open model of support for individual members’ personal projects is sustained through group undertakings. Round Robin Collective in Residence will embrace diverse practices as the group finds its own space to inhabit within the walls of A.I.R Gallery.

Extending Round Robin Collective’s practice of studio visits, several members will give artists talks and discuss their exhibited work with each other and the public on Thursday evenings starting at 7 pm throughout the month (excluding the opening night). The schedule for presentations is: Thursday, Aug 11 – Caroline Burghardt, Martin Esteves, and Katherin McInnis; Thursday, Aug 18 – Mary Billyou, Deirdre McConnell, Stephanie Rothenberg, and Janos Stone; Thursday, Aug 25 – Amanda Browder, Christopher Rose, and Audra Wolowiec. Mixed Use, a selection of videos and films on the alternative use of space, organized by Mary Billyou will screen on Tuesday, Aug 16, 6-8 pm. Further events and changes to the schedule will be announced on the Round Robin Collective website and Facebook page.

In conjunction with the exhibition Round Robin Collective in Residence, the Collective is pleased to announce their first edition portfolio. Ten of the artists in the Collective have created special editioned works on paper, prints, photographs, and small sculptures which will be available either individually or as a portfolio of the entire collection. Showcasing the breadth and scope of this unique group of artists, the proceeds for the portfolio will partially fund future public Round Robin Collective projects.

--------------------------
First Showing in NYC - of PROXY VACATION : first documented in Prague at the Mobinale 2 : curated by Helidon Gjergji
Past Proxy Vacationers: Carl Johns and Emily Farrel : 2010 - LINK HERE for info about project.

EXHIBITION DETAILS:
Culturefix, an alternative and multidisciplinary gallery, presents “Opening Reception”. This exhibition presents a series of one night solo shows by artists who work in alternative mediums. As a gallery and event space it is only during opening events in which the audience is acutely conscious of the artwork that our installation possibilities display. The five artists in this exhibition: David J Merritt, Audra Brandt, Stephan Moore, Amanda Browder, and Joe McKay will each take over the gallery for a one night and one day solo exhibition which utilizes the entire space, a feat which is impossible amongst our regular programming. Surrounding these temporary solo exhibitions will be 2 dimensional works created by the participating artists representing their process, exhibiting preliminary sketches and documentation of the 3 dimensional works. To fully represent alternative mediums, the 5 artists showcased each represent a different alternative medium: sculpture, new media, film, installation, and sound art.

Through the mediums each artist uses, the space will be transformed. David J Merritt’s mass of tactile sculptures reminiscent of amulets and idols will be scattered among the space. Stephan Moore’s ephemeral sound installation of oscillating fans and other junkyard objects creating a cacophony of broken down technology will fill the space from a set of 6 speakers. Amanda Browder will transform the physical space using a mass of brightly covered cloth leaving little trace of the gallery environment. Joe McKay’s interactive game of killing virtual cockroaches will cover the gallery walls. Audra Brandt will be projecting a series of super 8 films whose mechanisms will become structural, causing a multi- sensory and non-traditional experience of film viewing.

This constant evolution of the culturefix gallery parallels its mission of allowing inhabitants to define the culture of its space. Over a twelve day span, culturefix gallery will host 5 opening receptions, one from each participating artist. Between one-day exhibitions, the gallery will be open to the public to peruse the group exhibition on the walls of the gallery. By exhibiting the sketches and documentation of the pieces being showcased, Opening Reception also explores ideas of time – exposing the past, present, and future of an artwork.

THE WORKERS: PRECARITY, INVISIBILITY, MOBILITY
An exhibition on the contemporary state of labor
MASS MoCA
May 29, 2011–Mar 15, 2012

Curated by Susan Cross and Carla Herrera-Prats
http://www.massmoca.org/event_details.php?id=631

We all know what Rosie the Riveter looked like, and what she stood for.

Ford-era production line labor -- and the rise of powerful unions -- left us indelible portraits of work in mid 20th century America.

Before that, Dickens created searing portraits of labor in the proto-industrial era, as Millet and his followers recorded a vivid picture of agrarian labor in mid 19th century Europe.

But what does work look like today in a global economy marked by outsourcing, rapid migration, disruptive economies, and a state of labor that seems fractured, precarious, and almost invisible? With video, sculpture, photography, and performance art from 25 artists, this exhibition examines the way labor is represented today (and how some contemporary workers choose to represent themselves).

The timing, and the place, could not be more fitting: Once the site of a bustling factory itself -- whose closure in the face of intense international competition left nearly a third of it's community out of work -- MASS MoCA is perhaps uniquely positioned to present this timely show. The history of North Adams' workers mirrors that of many in the United States and abroad today who have lost a way of life to the perennial hunt for cheaper labor, even while the low-wage workers who replaced them have just begun to organize for more rights and better working conditions.

The exhibition will include nearly 40 works by 25 emerging and established international artists including Claire Beckett, Osman Bozkurt, Camel Collective, Mircea Cantor, Almudena Carracedo and Robert Bahar, Susan Collis, Vicky Funari and Sergio De La Torre, Jason Dodge, Sam Durant, Harun Farocki, Yevgeniy Fiks, Anthony Hernandez, Oded Hirsch, Hugo Hopping, Emily Jacir, Laboratorio 060 with York Chang, Mary Lum, Yoshua Okon, Adrian Paci, Jaume Pitarch, Oliver Ressler, Stephanie Rothenberg, Tyler Rowland, Allan Sekula, and Santiago Sierra.

PAINTING WITH PICTURES 2 curated by David Gibson

2011-04-02T13:56:00.000-07:00

Opening Thursday April 7 @ 7pm-10pm:

Amanda Browder is a participating artist in this new exhibition at Artjail:

50 Eldridge Street, 6th floor New York, NY 10002 LES

PAINTING WITH PICTURES 2

This exhibition explores the use of collage as an artistic medium, dissecting its impulses and agendas while providing a wide cross-spectrum of its usage in contemporary art. It addresses the role of material culture in mediating our shared view of reality, the notion of a borrowed aesthetic, and how specific visual agendas express differing cultural attitudes. It includes a variety of mediums and aesthetic agendas, presenting not only traditional collage, but works which establish a collage mentality in the liminal forms of photography, video, digital manipulation, painting, sculpture, printmaking, children’s books, commercial signage, portraiture, and others. In the end, it will posit collage as a cause, rather than a symptom, of both artistic style and generational meaning.

Space is the Place 1: Radical Centers for a Radical Movement

2011-03-19T11:19:00.000-07:00

Sunday from 10am-noon at the Left Forum.
Panel Abstract:
Whether it is a place to learn, meet, work, or live, movement centers act as anchors for creating and maintaining radical resistance. But how do they form? What are the critical tensions between volunteer collectives and paid staff? What does it mean to build collective infrastructure against domination, hierarchy and recuperation? And how do we pay the bills? In this interactive workshop, representatives from leading radical spaces share their experiences in developing politics, love and culture. Proposed Representatives: ABC No Rio, A.J. Muste Memorial Institute, Bluestockings, Brecht Forum, The Commons, Encuentro Cinco, Maysles Cinema, No Space, 16 Beaver, Surreal Estate Facilitator: Red Channels

Shame the Devil

Opening Tonight! 6-8pm
Huong Ngo is a participating artist in this new exhibition at The Kitchen.
Exhibition Hours: Tues-Fri, 12-6pm; Sat 11-6pm FREE
March 17–April 30, 2011
512 West 19th Street, New York, NY 10011 (212) 255-5793

Curated by Petrushka Bazin

The genre of comedy, in all its various manifestations in stand-up, theater, literature, television, and movies has long provided rich and valuable inspiration for artists seeking to critique contemporary society using parody, satire and dark humor. Inspired by the parallel ability of both the stand-up comedian and the artist to play the role of cultural observer and provacateur, this exhibition presents new sculpture, video, installations, and photography by artists, who strategically examine, with their frank observations and dry wit, the socio-political dimensions of power associated with cultural, racial, and economic issues. Titled after the longer idiom "tell the truth and shame the devil," which means to speak honestly and without censor, these artists, following the long traditions of political caricature, offer up wry send-ups of political commentary on such critical issues as global poverty, racial profiling, anti-terrorist paranoia, and right-wing extremism. Artists include: Jabari Anderson, Elizabeth Axtman, Michael Britto, Wayne Hodge, My Barbarian, Huong Ngo, Jessica Ann Peavy, Sara Greenberger Rafferty, Jimmy Joe Roche, and Kenya (Robinson).

new works by CHRISTOPHER ROSE
February 19-21, 2011

Opening Reception: Sunday, Feb 20, 4-8
Open Hours: Saturday, Feb 19, 12-5
Monday, Feb 21, noon-4

ACRE Projects
1913 W 17th Street

OUT OF THE WOODS features drawings inspired by Christopher Rose’s summer residency at ACRE and marks his first exhibition in Chicago since leaving the city in 2003. India ink drawings of old growth forests and highway traffic accidents populate Rose’s current project. Working from an ever-growing archive of photographic source material Rose creates densely patterned landscape drawings and acrylic paintings on plexi-glass. These works engage a labor-intensive process to translate vacation snap-shots and news media photos into intricately detailed patterns, digital abstractions and stylized silhouettes.

All works were created between August 2010 and February 2011.

This three day exhibition will be held open-studio style with the artist present Saturday and Sunday, February 19-21, 2011

Any Sufficiently Advanced Technology is Indistinguishable From Magic – An Exhibition by Janos Stone

2011-02-03T11:25:00.000-08:00

Opening TONIGHT!!!
6-8pm Dumbo Arts Center, 30 Washington St., Brooklyn, NY

Janos Stone will install a monumental sculpture of immense scale — bisecting the entirety of Dumbo Arts Center on a diagonal.

Made of 112 3’x3’ gypsum board polyhedra, the sculpture, at first sight, reads as a hugely enlarged image of a reclining skeleton. Printed on the gypsum "MeCube” tiles are more than 550 Youtube and Vimeo stills of night skies from around the world, acting like the pixels that form the image of the skeleton. The entire installation measures 11.5'x1’x82'.

“Digital visual language begins with the pixel,” says Stone. “This tiny polyhedron is the primary structure of digital images and allows us to see and connect with each other in the virtual world. When this contact occurs through the digital fourth wall, we bring in aspects of ourselves, exchanging atoms for pixels. This connectivity creates avatars, extensions of our actual world persona who act as our ambassadors inside the virtual world.”

This constant travel across the actual and virtual border reinforces this fact: pixels and atoms are arguably one-and-the-same as we are all made of, and interact with, these fundamental building blocks. When the viewers engage with this piece, by stepping in closer or further away, they move in and out of micro and macro universes. They begin to sense our deep connectedness with the analog, or natural, and the digital world.

The title of the installation refers to Arthur C. Clarke's Third Law. A science fiction author, inventor, and futurist, Clarke formulated the Third Law to explain the source of our amazement as our limitation, rather than the impossibility of technology.

Originally curated by Corinne Erni to take place at the Hungarian Cultural Center, the project was canceled at the last minute due to political upheaval in Hungary. DAC and Two Trees are proud to champion the creation of this ambitious art and are excited to present the installation at DAC’s space at 30 Washington Street.

Ofri Cnaani- The Sota Project @ Kunsthalle Galapagos, Feb 16th- April 23rd

2011-01-25T11:58:00.000-08:00

February 16^th – April 23^rd, 2011.

Opening reception Wednesday, February 16^th, 7-9PM

Kunsthalle Galapagos, 16 Main St. DUMBO, Brooklyn.

Kunsthalle Galapagos is pleased to present The Sota Project, an immersive, multilayered video installation that reenacts a controversial text from the Talmud. A tale of two sisters, bound together in symbiotic loyalty that unfolds in both time and three-dimensional space.

Housed in an expansive, historic horse-stable above Galapagos Art Space, Ofri Cnaani’s ambitious piece invites viewers to step into room-sized moving panoramas, and walk through an enigmatic and disturbing ancient story that has hardly been told.

Sota, an anonymous Biblical story, recounts the tale of two sisters, Sota and Bekhorah, who are bound together in symbiotic loyalty when Sota’s husband accuses her of infidelity. Against a backdrop of jealousy, betrayal, judgment, ritual humiliation, and ultimately death, Cnaani’s installation depicts a deceptively simple moral parable that unfolds in countless ways.

Video projections on all four walls of the exhibition space will allow multiple narratives to develop concurrently, thus calling into question the notion of a single, coherent truth. The Sota Project uses the most current new media technologies while employing storytelling techniques inspired by ancient Greco-Roman murals and Renaissance tapestries. After Kunsthalle Galapagos’ presentation, The Sota Project will travel to the Rothschild 69 in Tel Aviv.

Sanity Disobedience for a New Frontier

2010-10-20T08:47:00.000-07:00

Round Robin artist Janos Stone is showing a new work in Camel Art Space's show "Sanity Disobedience for a New Frontier." Opening 10/22/10, 6-9pm.

October 22- November 28, 2010
Weekends only: 12 – 6 pm or by appointment
Location: 722 Metropolitan Avenue, Brooklyn NY 11237
Directions: L – train to Graham Avenue [map]

“Sanity Disobedience for a New Frontier,” an exhibition that addresses the concept of technological assimilation in the digital age and its relationship to counter-cultural, anti-conformity assumptions. The show alludes to the irrational becoming rational, a paradox reflected in many characteristics of the digital age. In a sense, according to exhibition curator Rod Malin, the show explores the attitudinal space between two media pieces, Bas Jan Ader’s short conceptual film piece of 1970 “I’m Too Sad to Tell You,” in which the artist cries in front of a camera after a brief title, and Chris Crocker’s more recent YouTube phenomenon “Leave Britney Alone.” Although neither of these works appears in the show, they act as psychological signposts or brackets for the art on view.

Artists include: Allen Cordell • Tom Moody • Jamie O’Shea • Sophia Peer • Tristan Perich • Meridith Pingree • David Prince • Janos Stone

ALTERNATIVE HISTORIES September 24 - November 24, 2010

Exit Art is located at 475 Tenth Avenue, corner of 36th Street. Hours: Tues. – Thurs., 10am – 6pm; Fri., 10am – 8pm; and Sat., noon – 8pm. Closed Sun. and Mon. There is a suggested donation of $5. For more information please call 212-966-7745 or visit www.exitart.org.

Alternative Histories is a history of New York City alternative art spaces and projects since the 1960s. Through audio interviews with founders and key staff, a reading room of magazines and publications, documentation, ephemera and narrative descriptions, the exhibition will tell the story of pioneering spaces – like P.S.1, Artists Space, Fashion Moda, Taller Boricua, ABC No Rio, The Kitchen, Franklin Furnace, Exit Art, 112 Greene Street, White Columns, Creative Time, Electronic Arts Intermix, Anthology Film Archives, Storefront for Art and Architecture, Just Above Midtown, and many more – as well as document a new generation of alternative projects such as Live With Animals, Fake Estate, Apartment Show, Pocket Utopia, Cleopatra’s, English Kills Art Gallery, Triple Candie, Esopus Space, and others.

Over 130 spaces are represented in the show, which elaborates on the significant contributions these organizations made to the cultural fabric of New York City. They gave visibility and inclusion to otherwise excluded artists and ideas. The idealism of the founders, the hard work and dedication of everyone involved in sustaining these histories, against all odds, illustrates the dynamic purposes that propel the artistic scene in New York. “Imagination is an alternative to reality, creating options that never end,” says Papo Colo.

The exhibition incorporates a broad definition of the term “alternative space,” and includes significant publications and artist collectives to cover a broad arc of this history – bridging neighborhoods, decades and themes. In the development and organization of this exhibition, the curatorial team viewed dozens of archives and personal collections – selecting critical materials from the histories of the spaces and projects – and interviewed founders and early staff members, when possible, to construct a narrative about the alternative space movement in New York and its continuing impact on the city’s cultural and artistic landscape.

6-7 pm: TOYS N TINY INSTRUMENTS bring their kazoos, calliopes, and castanets to the convent chapel, making head-bop pop-rock fun times.

7-10 pm: "’DIAMONDS IN THE SKY,” film and video screening curated by John Passmore

Using Tom Gunning's concept of a "cinema of attractions" as a leitmotif, John Passmore presents “Diamonds in the Sky” a one time, never-before-never-again, collage-y , whirl-wind partial tour of the history of cinema. The program spans the early formal experiments of Classic Hollywood Cinema to rare archival materials representing the conceptual programs of the avant-garde, as well as a mix of video by single channel artists working today. “Diamonds in the Sky” explores how each work - separately and together - investigates life's various pattern-systems.

Low-Resolution Stories

THE VANISHING WOMAN by Ofri Cnaani

Ofri Cnaani will use one of her DIY moviemakers to create a series of real-time movies. ‘Vanishing Woman’ deals with magic, trickery, the dawn of cinema and the archives of the Israeli Kibbutz movement.

THE CRUELTY OF PIRATES by Jenny Vogel

“The Cruelty of Pirates” is a story of low-resolution encounter that offers an intimate reading of contemporary loneliness. Live-streaming video projections in the stutter-step language of webcameras result in a display of light signals that suggest an unknown code, some unknown message. The story is old: a man and a woman and the innate desire for love.

INVITATION TO A DUEL by Jenny Vogel

Drawing from the archive of her grandfather’s tape recordings Jenny Vogel creates a DIY opera that weaves together her family’s history and fiction to tell a story of tragedy and loss.

TURN TABLE by Ofri Cnaani

Turn Table is a live image and sound improvisation session. Using two and three dimensional objects, music boxes and other tiny toys Cnaani will assemble real time movies.

Chatter Blip

For Immediate Release:

The Round Robin Collective presents:
ECSTATIC

March 13 – April 4, 2010

Opening reception: Friday, March 12, 7-9 pm

The former convent of St. Cecilia’s Parish

21 Monitor Street, Brooklyn, NY

Hours: Sat 12-10 pm, Sun-Mon 12-6 pm (or by appointment)
with additional hours for special events
(details at: roundrobinbrooklyn.blogspot.com)

The Round Robin Collective is pleased to announce ECSTATIC, an exhibition and series of events to be held in the former convent of St. Cecilia’s Parish in Greenpoint, Brooklyn.

For four weeks, The Round Robin Collective - along with a group of invited artists - will populate the four-story maze of private rooms, living spaces, stairwells, and alcoves previously occupied by nuns. Taking varied approaches to the installation of their separate rooms, individual artists and collaborative teams will present recent works or will respond directly to the building, imbued with its unique history and sacrosanct aura. While some of the participating artists’ work deals directly with notions of ecstasy, the title of the show does not allude to an overt theme in the work presented; rather, it refers to the process of making and encountering art and the results produced from inspired relationships. Like the mental transport or rapture that can exist in the contemplation of the divine, the experience of creating and considering art can trigger moments of ecstasy.

Exhibiting artists will include: Lisa Boumstein-Smalley, Mary Billyou, Amanda Browder & Stuart Keeler, Caroline Burghardt, Lisa Caccioppoli, Ofri Cnaani, Chris Cobb, David Coyle, Jeff DeGollier, Martin Esteves, Gisela Insuaste, Jamie Kim, Stephanie Liner, Deirdre McConnell, Katherin McInnis, Emcee C.M., Master of None, Huong Ngo, Christopher Rose, Stephanie Rothenberg, Dorothy Royle, David B. Smith + Brina Thurston, Matthew Spiegelman, Janos Stone, Cassie Thorton + Action Club, Jenny Vogel & David McBride, and Audra Wolowiec.

Curated screenings, workshops, and performances will be held weekly in the former chapel of the convent. Events include: opening party music by Donny Hue and the Colors as well as Irvin Morazan’s “Musical Chair Performance,” an homage to Saint Cecilia, the patron saint of musicians (3/12); an evening of sound performances with Lary 7, Flying Teeth, and Doom Trumpet (3/13); “Low-Resolution Stories,” live cinema with Jenny Vogel and Ofri Cnaani followed by music with Chatter Blip (3/19); “The Alternative Art Space Movement in NYC,” a panel discussion with Erin Sickler, Herb Tam, Rob de Oude, and EmCee C.M., Master of None moderated by Mary Billyou (3/20); music by Toys n Tiny Instruments followed by “Diamonds in the Sky,” a evening of film/video curated by John Passmore (3/20); “Escape from the Orgone Box: Houdini & Reich on Film,” an evening of film with live soundtracks by Séance presented by Bradley Eros and Marianne Shaneen (3/26); a collective sewing day with Amanda Browder for the construction of the public artwork, “Future Phenomena” (3/27); an empanada and tamale demonstration/potluck event hosted by Gisela Insuaste and Irvin Morazan (3/28); closing the exhibition, a film/video screening curated by Jem Cohen (4/3); additional events to be announced. Details and updates regarding all the events are available on our web site.

The Round Robin Collective is a Brooklyn-based group of artists established in 2008 to forge connections and create a space for dialogue in and out of the studio. Meeting for monthly studio visits, members of the collective work in all media, fostering a dynamic exchange across disciplines and outside the commercial sphere.

Amanda Browder

2008-11-19T20:00:00.000-08:00

Using intuition as an entry point to the common subconscious, I plan to create a translation via visual language that defines this liquid state that all humans experience.

I would describe my work as being soft sculpture/found object installation with an affinity for abstraction and minimalism. I use forms that are similar to the images in a comic book. Reduced, simplified, and reconfigured to be idealized and sensational. I appreciate the transformative nature of materials, and how the combination of familiar objects can create abstract relationships. These relationships generate open-ended narratives, and ambiguous situations that are defined by the choice of materials. Central to the psychedelic experience, I use bright colors and familiar materials to recreate this subtle change in perception.

Born in Missoula, MT in 1976, I currently live in Brooklyn, NY. I received my MFA/MA from the University of Wisconsin at Madison in 2001, and taught at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago from 2001-07. I received a Chicago Community Arts Assistant Program Grant in 2006 and 2007. I have exhibited nationally and internationally at the Nakaochiai Gallery, Tokyo, Japan; Lothringer 14, Munich, Germany; White Columns, New York; Mixture Contemporary Gallery, Houston, TX; The Missoula Museum of the Arts, Missoula, MT; Gallery 400-UIC, and The Hyde Park Art Center, Chicago. I am also a founding member of the art-podcast www.badatsports.com.
