BYOB (Bring Your Own Beamer)
Friday, November 12, 2010, 6-10 PM
Spencer Brownstone Gallery,
39 Wooster St, New York City.
PARTICIPATING ARTISTS:
ARTIE VIERKANT, BILLY RENNEKAMP, BRITTA THIE, CALLA HENKEL & MAX PITEGOFF, CHARLES BROSKOSKI, DAMON ZUCCONI, DUNCAN MALASHOCK, HAYLEY SILVERMAN, JEREMY BAILEY, JOEL HOLMBERG, JOHN MICHAEL BOLING, JOYCE JORDAN, KRIST WOOD, MAI UEDA, MARLOUS BORM, MICHELLE CEJA, MIKE RUIZ, RENE ABYTHE, RILEY HARMON, RYDER RIPPS, SARAH WEIS & ARTURO CUBACUB, TOM MOODY, TRAVESS SMALLEY, WOJCIECH KOSMA.
Spencer Brownstone Gallery is pleased to present the New York edition of BYOB, a one-night-exhibition exploring the medium of projection. 25 artists are invited to bring their own projectors to create a collaborative happening of moving light, sound and performance.
An acronym for Bring Your Own Beamer, the evening will propose a glimpse of computing in the future. Today the internet is confined to screens. Tomorrow information will surround us, composing our surfaces, defining our spaces, enmeshing itself with the ether. No longer simply part-and-parcel of everyday life, it will become a medium in which the everyday exists.
Featuring a generation of artists that grew up behind the screen, BYOB will have an open and dynamic structure that not only allows for spontaneity and experimentation, but also places questions concerning the formalism and engagement of the exhibition directly in the hands in the artists. A moving image is never an object, and when it is coupled with the increased flexibility of portable projection, the realm of experience quickly expands. The individual works will often overlap and sometimes even merge, producing a total environment that is more than the sum of its parts. Ultimately, this loose, free form format will mirror the chaos of the internet. Gallery visitors will stroll in a forest of browser windows much in the same way one browses sites on the web.

Free Proposals for Art School Art Critiques: "1
Materials required: white noise, Microsoft word, projector
Using any brand of audio editing software, create 30 minutes of white noise. Amplify it by 12 dB, create a six-minute fade in, then save it under the name “noise wall”.
Crank the room speakers up to full volume, and play the noise wall. Making sure that it can be projected onto a screen, or a wall, for everyone to see, open a blank Microsoft Word document. Type into the doc:
“For the next 30 minutes, all critiquing of the project will take place in this text document.”
As the noise wall rises to a volume so unbearable that you feel it in your chest, the audience tension will escalate. As that tension escalates, more people will queue up in line to critique.
Eventually, the noise wall will obliterate the audience who attempts to engage with/critique the piece. Blocking out the sound eventually becomes a lesson in futility; however painful the experience, most semblances of stage fright, shyness, and individuality will be annihilated.
When the 30 minutes come to an abrupt end, everyone will feel an immense relief. A brief recuperation period should be allowed.

"Existence Value"
Paul Cowan and Scott Cowan
Opening October 15th, 6-9pm
Through November 13th
at Roots & Culture 1034 N Milwaukee Ave.
.
"Existence Value" investigates the intrinsic value people and cultures give to things- how people with different
understandings of the same thing can assume to agree according to the meaning that a thing has in their own life.
We have options, an infinite amount of them, which we must see as wide-open variables to use or to deny. Every
decision made is made with intention. It isn’t about being ‘right’ or ‘wrong’, but rather the sequence of events and
how they add up.
In "Existence Value", a gesture precedes all considerations and assumptions, rendering immediate perception
obtuse. These objects, losing all subjectivity; question their own role (real or imaginary) and the artist’s desire to
create and be present in the work.

Who are we now? and where are we going?

Tara Downs for STATE
Material Test introduces images of film gels, cellophane, mirrored Mylar that have gradually dissolved their material base, becoming molten shapes and forms that undulate through foreground and background. French critic and curator Nicolas Bourriaud in his text Postproduction considers that “precariousness is at the center of a formal universe in which nothing is durable, everything is movement: the trajectory between two places is favored in relation to the place itself”. The particularities of the path between these two ‘places’ – the original material and the image as transformed state – becomes open to curiosity and consideration.

In 1935 the New York City Museum of Modern Art held a Van Gogh exhibition. On the theory that many attendees were more interested in the sensational aspects of Van Gogh’s life than in his art, prankster Hugh Troy (see also our Hugh Troy page) molded a piece of beef, placed it in a velvet-lined box and attached a label that read: “This is the ear which Vincent van Gogh cut off and sent to his mistress, a French prostitute, Dec. 24, 1888.” Troy smuggled this supplementary exhibit into the museum, where it attracted the greatest crowds.
Art Forgeries
The 1953 edition ‘Captured by the Norwegians’ by Robert A. Robinson, has been re-publised by norwegian publishers Aki Books & Flamme Forlag.
As well as reproducing to the previous edition, this new book also includes new texts by David Campany, Frode Grytten and a personal interview
with Robinsons long time friend Dan Young.
