Rise member, Michele Jaquis, has two videos to be screened on April 10th (tomorrow) in Performative Video @ Remote Lounge in New York City. This show is curated by Camilo Alvarez and includes “two 2 hour back-to-back screenings of contemporary video in which the artist confronts the viewer in more ways than one.” If you are in NY check it out, since we at Rise can’t be there.
Hey J, how did you come across that? Its brilliant!
In the spirit of Fluxus, DO IT TV has artist videos and instuctions for artworks to be uploaded by online viewers/participants. This is an interesting project curated by Hans Ulrich Obrist featuring Yoko Ono, Pipilotti Rist, Ilya Kabakov and the like. Check it out.
Today I have several students at Otis who have cancelled their appointments with me to join the anti-war walk out. It is about time that we have some student protests against this possible war with Iraq. Most of the time I feel my students are too apathetic about world issues. For those who don’t know Otis is near LAX, one of the largest airports in the country, so they are hoping that this highly visible, heavy traffic area will get their message out.
Also, we are updating our Reviews section, culling through documentation of shows over the past year. Check back often. The 2002 Otis BFA show is up now. More to come soon….
Check out photos from the Feb. 15th Anti War march in Hollywood. (Click on the projects link.)
Amy (Robinson) and I just got back from the Anti War march/rally in Hollywood. What an enormous and amazing event! I am overwhelmed by the fact that this has occurred all over the world today. Even if the Bush administration doesn’t listen, we attempted to make our opinions heard, and that is an important effort.
Will post photos soon.
