SFCAMERAWORKS - GROUP SHOW

SFCamerawork: "Suggestions of Life Being Lived"

Suggestions of Life Being Lived, guest curated by Danny Orendorff and Adrienne Skye Roberts, presents queerness as a set of political alliances and possibilities, informed by the projects of 16 artists working in photography, film, video, activism and education. Untethered to institutions of sexual or gender normativity and in pursuit of greater freedoms, the work in this exhibition represents queer activism, intentional and imagined communities, self-determinism, and DIY alternative world-making.

Suggestions of Life Being Lived begins from a place of ‘outness’ and considers how a sense of liberated queerness is pursued and mediated within public spaces and behaviors. Less concerned with catergorical sexual identities or coming-out narratives, this exhibition presents work that looks outward towards collective and resistant expressions of queer community existing outside of dominant gay and lesbian culture.

Featuring works by Steven Miller, Tara Mateik, Killer Banshee Studios, Gay Shame, Kirstyn Russell, Jeannie Simms, Lenn Keller, Mercury Vapor Studios, Falling in love with Chris and Greg, Jason Fritz Michael, Darrin Martin & Torsten Zenas Burns, Eric Stanley & Chris Vargas, Aay Preston Myint and Allyson Mitchell.

Fragments

Filmmaker Darrin Martin in Attendance

Friday, August 13, 7PM

Location: DiverseWorks, 1117 East Freeway

$7 Non-members; Aurora members free

For once, we encourage you to bring your cell phones to a screening so that you can participate in an evening of new video performance, as well as solo and collaborative video works from Darrin Martin. Failed utopias, technologic euphoria, role-playing workshops, hearing loss, the nature of sound, and other actualities often inaccessible to the naked eye are playfully addressed in this presentation by Darrin Martin. Fantasy and delusion through a language of disjointed architectural ruins and sculptural remains fuse with his current research into ubiquitous technologies in a premiere of the video-performance, Fragments. A screening of his most recent solo works and collaborations with Torsten Zenas Burns, an experimental video artist, will precede the performance.

Darrin Martin is a Bay Area artist whose works loosely examine how technologies are used in an attempt to measure and augment our daily perceptions. Martin’s collaborations with Torsten Zenas Burns build diverse speculative fictions around re-imagined educational paradigms. Martin has toured his work nationally and internationally. He occasionally curates screenings and teaches video and media arts at UC Davis. www.darrinmartin.com

WHAT-IF? IN THE DAYS WHEN THE TIGER SMOKED

What If? In the Days When the Tiger Smoked
a total-gallery experience in video and photography by
Torsten Zenas Burns & Darrin Martin

On View June 4-July 17, 2010
Reception for the Artists - Saturday, June 5th 6-9
with Hite Beer and Kimchi!
Special Outdoor "Extras" Screening at 8:30

Krowswork Gallery is pleased to announce the exhibition What If? In the Days When the Tiger Smoked, a collaboration between veteran video artists Torsten Zenas Burns and Darrin Martin. The exhibition includes four videos and accompanying prints and photographs and is the culmination of an ongoing project which began in Busan, South Korea, in 2006. The first part of the title - "What If?" - sets the tone for both the scientific and speculative nature of the artists' point of departure. The second part - "In the Days When the Tiger Smoked" - is the Korean equivalent of "Once Upon a Time," suggesting an event set in a mythical time. This juxtaposition of the exciting, unknown possibilities of "future" with the playful, whimsy of a fictional "past" provides a perfect capsule for this uniquely complex narrative of the imaginative present.

Please join us Saturday, June 5th, from 6 to 9, for the opening reception for the artists. Enjoy complimentary Kimchi and Hite beer... and at 8:30 a special outdoor screening of pop cultural videos and other media gems influential to the artists.

What If? In the Days When the Tiger Smoked represents video art at its most engaged-an exploration of the medium's outer limits, complexities, and crevices. Alternately funny, bizarre, and profound, the works are colorful, both literally and metaphorically, and use video to do what it does best: push and question boundaries.

At the heart of What If? is the unfolding of a role-playing workshop where participants reenact dates leading up to a fictional polyamorous romance. The performance, played by a rotating international cast of artists, culminates in a group wedding and honeymoon between characters based on two obscure Marvel superheroes and two internationally renowned art personalities. What-If? reveals the entangled story that brought this romantic foursome together, spanning the gulf between genders and representations, the body and technology.

Part live action and part animation, equally plastic and organic, and using bodies as physical and philosophical vehicles to question our sense of self at its palpable essence, the presentation of What If? at Krowswork Gallery reminds us that identity, like video itself, can be almost anything we want it to be.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS:
Burns and Martin met in the 1980s when they were both studying art at Alfred University, an unsuspected center of early video activity and experimentation and one of the oldest video art programs in the country. Each of them has been working in the medium of video for twenty years, individually and collaboratively. Together, they have based their single-channel videotapes, curations and current performance works on their research into diverse séance-fictions including re-imagined educational practices, cryptozoological musicals, and transhuman narratives. They have jointly participated in residencies at Eyebeam and The Experimental Television Center in New York. Their videos have screened at venues including The Museum of Art and Design (NY), Pacific Film Archive (CA), Aurora Picture Show (TX), Migrating Forms (NY), Video_Dumbo (NY), Chicago Underground Film Festival (IL), Madrid Museum of Contemporary Art (Spain), Stuttgart Filmwinter (Germany), Art Space Bandee (South Korea), and Oberhausen Short Film and Video Festival (Germany). They most recently screened their work at the 2010 edition of the European Media Arts Festival (Germany) and exhibited at The Lab in San Francisco.

MOBILE GEOGRAPHY PERFORMANCE SERIES: JORDAN BIREN

ALL THAT PASSES BEFORE YOU, ALREADY IN RUIN

With All That Passes Before You, Already In Ruin, Jordan Biren brings a performative incursion to his long-standing ordeal in video. Through live recitation of text the physicality of words is loosed upon an intimate expanse of high-definition imagery and sound. A rich, temporal presence ensues of transient landscapes, time, and characters advancing as spectres in the shadows of glistening cinematic moments. Words—displaced from the image—move as ghostly figures through the illusory promise of narrative towards a question of alterity. In his ongoing performances of All That Passes Before You, Already In Ruin, Biren abandons suggestions of cinematic sense for a resonance carried on the frequency of bodily words.

The 1st in a new series of (Mobile geography performances) "All That Passes Before You, Already In Ruin" will be performed live at Parsons Hall Project Space, Thursday May 20th - 8pm

Jordan Biren

Is an artist for whom video is the poetic rehearsal of his artistic endeavor.

His work has long pondered meaning as a migration behind the illusory promise of narrative utterance. His is work of a melancholic tension built around narrative dissolutions in the chasms of granular image, text, and sound. Narrative, rather, has inhered in his video as a vaporous impossibility against which the work is directed. He seeks in this the more enigmatic holes of unexplained human experience—those breaches covered over, as if unsightly, by the image, sound, and textual impulses of an arbitrary existence. Of late, his work has approached an equivalence of film aesthetic against which notions of video define a new, hybrid form of narrative province.

What-if? Beyond a Carnalove
17:00-2009-Torsten Zenas Burns + Darrin Martin
Our last project, entitled “What-If? ”, was generated through a series of role playing workshops that enacted a romance between four characters based upon two obscure Marvel superheroes and two internationally renowned art personalities. The performances,conducted by an international cast of artists,leads to a group wedding. The happy foursome are Orlan, an artist whose actual redefinition of her own body via plastic surgery confronts representations of woman throughout art history; Stelarc, an artist whose cybernetic mission in life is to render the body obsolete; Scarlet Witch, a mutant superhero who has unlimited powers over probability,and Vision, a “synthezoid” superhero whose mechanically fabricated body contains a human soul.“What-If? Beyond a CarnaLove” is the beginning of a larger body of work that unfolds this entangled story spanning the gulf between genders and representations;the body and technology. We will utilize an excess of workshop materials to focus on the mating rituals of Orlan within the complicated foursome, simultaneously contextualizing her within a grouping of characters that push the boundaries of the very definition of the word carnal.Re-envisioned Orlan operations are performed by her lovers in tandem with intimate dates that develop their deepening relationships.

Torsten Zenas Burns works with lots of different mediums and with lots of different people. COLLABOTRONICA is a sample of different projects created in tandem with artists, Anne McGuire Darrin Martin, Christian K. Burns, and HALFLIFERS. Traversing through the worlds of Choreography, Performance, Video, and New Media, he explores the realms of performed identity through fantasy characters and has an interest in re-envisioning educational spaces. Often creating animated counterparts of his collaborators, TZB creates spaces where kinesthetics meets virtual life. For example, WHAT IF?BEYOND A CARNALOVE, made with longtime collaborator, Darrin Martin utilizes danceforms software that recreates choreography by Merce Cunningham. Weird and playful, TZB's works feel a bit like a good recess. The pleasure of movement and imaginative improvisation win the day. –Christy LeMaster / The Nightingale

Part One:(DIDN’T WORK-DISTRIBUTION IS DOWN)

Dual trajectories through lush innerscapes propel us into
color-saturated action scenarios, where the mission to
re-establish identity and sustain communicatin linkage
is never-ending. Retreating the way we came, we find
ourselves further out --or deeper in?
Part Two:(DIDN’T WORK-DVD NOT BURNED)

A useful inanimate object, burdened with excessive
psychic residue, is funneled through HALFLIFE for a
complete wipe-down and a few healthy exersizes.
Part Three:(DIDN’T WORK-BOUGHT A BUILDING INSTEAD OF MAKING ART)

Frantic re-application of a fluid medium within
pre-sentized areas transports us to the edge of a
churning sea of potential activity. Pitted against the
pounding energy currents, we find we can barely hold
our own. And when the tap runs dry its time to move on!

Cynosure: guiding star, center of attraction. For Cynosure, eleven newer East Bay galleries have been invited to present a sampling of the emerging talents with whom they work. Though the artists included hail from near and far, they all represent the distinctive character of East Bay contemporary art.

The East Bay contemporary art scene has been gaining increasing recognition in recent years. What began as a loose network of artist collectives is evolving into a vibrant new gallery district that has, in the last three years, established a reputation for making challenging art accessible to a broad public of viewers and collectors. These galleries provide an important forum for emerging artists, including students and graduates of UC Berkeley’s Art Practice program, as they are the first point of entry into the professional landscape for so many young talents. These spaces, in the backyard of Berkeley’s campus, also provide experiential learning opportunities for art students and art appreciators from throughout our community.

Krowswork Gallery presents: As X → ∞
Debuts Friday, December 4th as part of Oakland’s Art Murmur
Opening Reception, Saturday, December 12th, 5 to 9
480 23rd Street, between Telegraph and Broadway, in midtown Oakland

Krowswork inaugurates its program with “As X → ∞” (As X Approaches Infinity),* an exhibition of videos and photographs that explores ideas of the infinite, divinity, and the leap between reason and faith as a natural expression of the mediums themselves. Because they are “reality” based and poised at the intersection of the mechanical and the conceptual, video and photography are uniquely suited to emulate and traverse these philosophical pathways. In “As X → ∞” the artists record their specific engagement with the infinite as either direct references to spiritual or ritualized experiences, abstracted allusions to cosmic forms, or playful, elliptical manifestations of the paradox of attempting the approach at all, affirming Kierkegaard’s belief that “the only thing that can save [man] is the absurd, and this he grasps by faith.”
In the screening room, we will feature a 20-minute looped program of videos ranging from 21 seconds to 4 minutes with works by Usuna & Kristie Alshaibi, Animal Charm, Nate Boyce, Torsten Zenas Burns, Volkan Ergen, Sabine Gruffat, Kaliptus, Jason Livingston, Austin Muller, and Aaron Oldenburg. Though conceived individually, the works are curated to be seen together, presenting a complete meditation on the show’s subject. Visitors to the gallery are welcome to a cup of tea or coffee while they watch. Hundred-year-old oak pews with velvet cushions serve as seating and set the tone for a unique experience.
In the project room are an installation and video by RKDB which explore divination and ritual from the eyes of a clown-shaman. Also on view in the exhibition space is the work of five photographers: Gigi Gatewood, Adam Wier, Paula Catao, Walker Dukes, and Lauren Orchowski, whose works approach infinity from the perspective of the sacred, the profane, the fanciful, the ritualized, and the cosmic, respectively.

Language: English

Starting in the 1980s, entrepreneurial operators traveled with video recorders and TV sets to rural Ghanaian villages. Creating makeshift movie houses, often in tents or open air cinemas, they showed violent and often bloodthirsty films on televisions run with generators. Though many were films from America and Asia, most of the posters seen in this exhibition were created to promote the Nigerian made films. Hand painted on the backs of flour sacks by local Ghanaian artists they combine elements of traditional African art and modernity. The artists, in their own styles, often painted these posters before seeing the film themselves. Sometimes they referenced images from the accompanying tape jackets to create these bold and often gruesome advertisements. Many of the images are purely from the artists imagination and may not appear in the film at all. The more shocking the poster, the more likely a show would sell seats. The canvases are tattered and faded from their use to promote the movie as it traveled from village to village. Some of the flour sacking labels bleed through to the front, and some have stitching or patches of odd cloth. This intriguing twist on form and function only adds to the beauty of this dying art.

Today mass- produced paper posters are replacing the hand-painted posters in Ghana. This exhibition offers a peek into that disappearing art form as well as an opportunity to purchase the work. Each poster will be available for sale for $350.00.

Michelle Gilbert teaches anthropology and art history at Sarah Lawrence College, Bronxville, NY. Since 1976 she has done fieldwork in an Akan kingdom of southern Ghana on art, religion and politics on which she has written many articles.
