Tracing What It Is Remembered

Memories are cross sections of experiences that become unified ideals of situations that we experience as human beings. Most memories inevitably become temporal imprints upon our brain and are lost, skewed, and ultimately take on multiple personalities. For this project the artist traverse Peterson's bridge incurring visual and physical memories throughout the night. In this case the artist place candles in representation of steps and as markers of a path. In this “light” these candles serve as a memory path that can be easily traceable, Ultimately charting and documenting a memory in real time. This piece serve as an analogy for memory and question the definition of memories and what ultimately constructs our interpretation of existence.

Untitled Relation Project. At Dis-placed artshow on Thursday Aug. 6, 2009, from 7-10p at Studioplex 143.

There is a temptation to create our own little world in the places where we interact. From this interaction, we develop a relationship to the specific space where the interaction takes place. This interaction at times may become intense, forced and private. This is the moment that we can become The Little Prince (Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's most famous children novel published 1943), so we can live or belong to one little world. Our activities can manipulate our attachment to different places. The piece Untitled Relation Project explores the boundaries of our human relationship to space and what we do in these spaces. When experiencing this piece, the audience will have unexpected interpretations of the work, as well as thoughts about space and human relation.

During the opening, the artist will perform the function of the incorporated pieces. For the period of the exhibition the collaboration of the viewers will complement the work. Each member of the Gallery can use Untitled Relations components during office hours. Visitors are invited to reserve a time in the Untitled Relation Project to perform their own activities (see attachments). This reservation can be made online or in person.

Gesture of Benevolence May 15, 2009

Picture By Johana Moscoso

In the exhibition Gestures of Benevolence, artist Johana Moscoso turns her work into a participatory performance that encourages a communal gesture between the children and their families, the artist, and the audience.

The notion of gesture that she is applying is an action to help two special needs children. The artist is making devices that their mothers need to assist them. However, there are some devices that cannot be made by the artist. Therefore, the audience is invited to make a minimum donation of one dollar.

In return donors can participate in making metaphorical versions of the objects, needed by the children, by connecting the dots on the gallery walls. The donated proceeds will be used to purchase the actual devices for the children.

The money collected is giving to the children’s mothers on Tuesday May 26, 2009 at 6:30 p.m and on Wednesday May 27, 2009 at 7:00 p.m at the gallery. The audience is welcome to be in the gallery when the money is presented. The donor participants are encouraged to leave their information so that they can be continually informed of how their gesture has impacted the lives of these two families.
