WALKING WATER
UMass, Amherst, March 2, 7 PM
a performance by David Teeple

Also, from Holyoke based performance group SWITCH: DRIP MUSIC by George Brecht
(a seminal Fluxus work performed by Jessica Higgins) and works with Mary Averill, Erika Knerr, GLOVE, Denis Luzuriaga and others

Walking Water Is An Evening of Performance Art At The University Museum Of Contemporary Art, in association with the exhibition Thinking Water: Poetry, Systems and Politics by David Teeple

This performance evening is part of David Teeple: Dialogue with a Collection, Thinking Water: Poetry, Systems and Politics. The exhibition is part of a series of exhibitions at the University Museum of Contemporary Art in which artists are invited to integrate their own works with pieces they select from the museum’s works-on-paper collection, which includes over 2600 contemporary prints, drawings, and photographs.

It features work by David Teeple alongside works he has selected and placed in direct dialogue with his own sculptures and works on paper.

Teeple’s works reference rivers, aquifers and the hydrologic cycle in context to systems of economy, society, nature and science. They include the construction of glass tanks containing water, video images, sculptural pieces derived from bathymetry, vector drawings based on satellite imagery, and laser cut objects. Moreover, the exhibition includes paintings and silk-screens of river systems to create interwoven patterns and structures.

Artists from the museum’s collection in Thinking Water: Poetry, Systems and Politics include: Ansel Adams, Agnes C. Denes, Donald Judd, Sol Lewitt, Lucio Pozzi, Richard Serra, Alan Sonfist, David Teeple, Jane Tuckerman and Jessica Weiss

Somewhere..

In and around the Piazza Sordello!
And who knows where else!?

Temporary Art Manto (MAT / tam) will secretly occur, suddenly, for brief moments and in varied sites..

..even in art spaces.

The events or exhibits happen when they happen, unannounced except by word of mouth or word of web, surviving for almost 60 minutes. While Temporary Art Manto suddenly emerges, its de-programmed events generate their own meaning.

“These are exhibitions or events, things done by people we come to know, whom we ask to do something: friends, family, acquaintances, ourselves and especially many others. They are things to see, but then it also happens that there is stuff to read or listen to or touch or taste or smell.” — Annarosa Buttarelli and Lucio Pozzi

Though Mantova itself is an ideal center for reticent, yet public, action, it also forms an awareness that sprouts like a weed. From Mantova, MAT / tam comes up everywhere: Lodz, Ulan Bator, Oaxaca, Bamako, Paris, Asuncion, even Mantova.

Thank you in advance for receiving this classified disclosure. We entrust it with confidence to seventy five thousand one hundred eighty three recipients certain to ensure it’s absolute secrecy.

#129: OUT OF THE BOX

Calling all kindred spirits…
Please support the first new issue of New Observations in 10 years.

With strong resolve, it is my pleasure to relaunch New Observations, the historic editorial laboratory of art, with guest editors Joshua Selman and Lance Fung, titled “Out Of The Box,” in the first half of 2012. The 1st new issue (#129) will be an extraordinary, oxygenating leap within the Magazine’s 30 year lifespan. I have great faith in Joshua and Lance who I have known for decades. Their unique ways of navigating through a commercial art world inspire me. Our vision for the 2012 lineup inspires each of us and will inspire YOU, our readers. Together, we will examine, through a list of world famous artists, newcomers and those you’ve never heard of, ways that artists fearlessly offer their authenticity.

This revival draws on a rich history of artists self-organizing, initiating systems of collaboration and emerging operations that form within voids of opportunity. Our editorial program supports freedom, and resistance to frameworks that are easily defined. We are excited to experiment with the fun and panic of renewing an artist-run journal born of the pugnacious and provoking spirit of the early 1980s in Downtown New York City. Combining the interdependence of avant-garde art in life, with activism, communication and media brings about a diverse engagement in our world. For this dialogue, Artists need a think tank that is alternative to the cube. Join us and support our print and production costs for 2012. Your gift will be tax deductible. New Observations is a 501(c)3 Non-Profit organization.

Yours Sincerely,
Erika Knerr, Publisher

+ More Suggestions

An Art of Limina Gary Hill’s Works and Writings Text by George Quasha & Charles Stein Foreword by Lynne Cooke Poligrafa  With 640 pages and more than 900 illustrations, it is the most comprehensive and in-depth treatment of Gary Hill’s work to date, written in close connection with the artist, and offers an essential theoretical and scholarly frame for continuing study. Shamanism + Cyberspace by Mina Cheon Atropos Press “Rereads new media theory and shamanism itself, specifically in South Korea. Perhaps most radically, it proposes a new theory of “media mourning” to help us see and hear shamanism colliding with contemporary media art worlds, collapsing time and space, updending gender and racial categories, and confounding the boundaries between East and West.“ The Grid Book by Hannah Higgins The MIT Press “Hannah Higgins’s new book on grids is a confident synthesis of art, architecture, geography, geomety, urbanism, and social history. Its elegant prose and easy erudition recall the work of Lewis Mumford; its intellectual energy and subtle humor, the writing of Roland Barthes.” Stephen F. Eisenman, Professor of Art History, Northwestern University

TV Production in Holyoke

An interview with the Creative Director, Jessica Higgins and Producer, Denis Luzuriaga, of SWITCH, a new art for television project syndicating throughout Massachusetts. The discussion examines global participation in a local media market. The project is produced in Holyoke Massachusetts, the future home of a High Performance Computing Center. Built on a canal system, Holyoke produces more hydro electric power than it uses. It’s a rarity as an American carbon negative city.

For SWITCH, Jessica Higgins is bringing intermedia together with an open, experimental approach to public television. Denis Luzuriaga is producing for local television to position material for a specific community, yet include a forum designed for millions of people. Together they have launched a seriously playful project that reverse engineers the global audience.
