Tonight: An Evening with Seth Kelly and Adam Putnam at Fitzroy Gallery

Wednesday, October 26th, 2011
An Evening with Seth Kelly and Adam Putnam
Wednesday, October 26 7:30 pm
Please join us for an informal gathering in the basement of Fitzroy Gallery on October 26th at 7:30pm. Seth Kelly and Adam Putnam will present a conversation in the form of a demonstration. Through the exchange of audio field recordings, found footage, and live video components the two will describe, in various forms, time shifts, thresholds and other transitional spaces. Not unlike what happens when:
A medium speaks with the voice of unseen dimensions
A vortex forms in the center of a movie screen
A stellar probe passes the rings of Saturn
An obelisk groans imperceptibly
The scale of the room you happen to be in collapses along a horizontal axis
You suddenly look up at the exact moment of a fall
Hans Castorp muses “…space, like time engenders forgetfulness…”

Xavier Cha: Body Drama at the Whitney Museum of American Art Opening June 30th

Wednesday, June 22nd, 2011

New York–based artist Xavier Cha incorporates video and installation in performances that play with multiple perspectives and deferred access, reflecting our fractured contemporary experience. For her new work Body Drama, Cha transforms the gallery into a mysterious stage on which an actor performs while wearing a body-mounted camera. In between performances the resulting footage is projected on the wall, offering viewers two versions of the same experience, both of which center on disorienting psychological and physical space.

Opening June 30th at the Whitney Museum of American Art

W.A.G.E. is participating at FREE at The New Museum thru January 23: FREE is the first W.A.G.E.-CERTIFIED EXHIBITION. W.A.G.E. (Working Artists and the Greater Economy) has negotiated that a portion of the exhibition budget of FREE will provide artist fees for all of the participants. It is standard for artists to work without financial compensation with art institutions, and W.A.G.E. advocates that this can no longer be a financial model for cultural workers. This cultural work cannot be brought to you for free – institutional funding for artists must be ensured. Please support W.A.G.E. by letting museums know that artists’ compensation is important to you. www.wageforwork.com
