SUMMARY:Water Memories: A Happening...
DESCRIPTION:Join us to celebrate a multi media installation environment created by Zhiyao Ding\, Mila Jafarnejad\, Alexander Nezam\, Nikita Potnis\, Marcus Santos\, Yangyanyun Tang\, Siqi Xiong\, and Yishu Yu whose work is the culminating project from the Film and Media Arts graduate installation art course “Space\, Place\, Image\, Sound.”  Location: Huret and Spector Gallery\, please enter on the 7th Floor. \n\n\n\nAlthough we don’t remember it\, every newborn human being develops in the amniotic fluid of their mother. Our first interaction with the external world is to leave the water and breathe land’s air. One of the criteria for exploring a planet’s habitability is evidence of water\, because without it life cannot live. Water exists in many forms: oceans\, rivers\, clouds\, snowflakes and even inside our bodies. \n\n\n\nJapanese scientist Masaru Emoto studied the molecular structure of water and discovered that when water was exposed to different human emotions the molecular structure of water changed. He realized that the water we drink\, use and interact with every day has memory. Water remembers. \n\n\n\nThis exhibition explores many modes of interacting with water including memories of water\, the biological and cultural significance of water. How would it feel to submerge yourself in water again? Fear? death? cleansing? or a warm embrace? After all\, every drop of water once belonged to the sea\, and all life will eventually meet again as one.

SUMMARY:Kameelah J. Rasheed's Book Launch (NEW DATE)
DESCRIPTION:Attend the artist’s Scratch Disk Full launch event. THIS EVENT HAS BEEN RESCHEDULED DUE TO ARTIST ILLNESS to TUESDAY\, FEB. 27.. \n\n\n\n\n\nJoin our artist in residence Kameelah J. Rasheed for the launch of her book\, Scratch Disk FullAttendees will receive a complimentary copy of the publication. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nScratch Disks Full asks\, in the spirit of Sankofa: What did you leave behind? What would happen if you went back and got it? Scratch Disks Full is a publishing project for those with leaky sensory gating\, sprawling interests\, kinetic brains\, and “too many ideas.” We publish the excess\, the dirty data\, the spillage\, the noise\, the leftover\, and the unfulfilled.  \n\n\n\nA scratch disk is a hard disk used as a workspace to store data temporarily. In applications like Adobe Photoshop\, the scratch disk is used to hold the data being edited. When an error reads “… the scratch disks are full.” it means there is not enough space on the drive to perform the upcoming task. The users need to find space elsewhere or end the process; they are left holding the excess energy of an unfulfilled action.  \n\n\n\nScratch Disks Full is a publishing project producing readers\, workbooks\, and lo-fi playthings exploring the excess of an exhibition\, piece of writing\, lecture\, performance\, or even other publication. By excess\, we do not mean process work leading up to a final work; we literally mean the embodied experiences you could not give yourself over to due to spiritual unreadiness\, the sentences you had to blunt because there was not enough time for further editing; the feral idea that blossomed during a performance and began to shape you as much as you shaped it.  \n\n\n\nThis offering will explore the excess of the current exhibition — notes\, diagrams\, excerpts of writing\, and other leftovers. \n\n\n\nChristopher Gregory for The New York Times\n\n\n\nA learner\, Kameelah Janan Rasheed explores writing practices across all species\,states of living\, states of consciousness\, and substrates. Curious about the poetics and possibilities of loss\, ruin\, and failure in the reading and writing process\, Rasheedexplores Black knowledge production and fugitivity. She creates sprawling\,“architecturally-scaled” installations; public installations; publications; prints;performances; performance scores; poems; video; and other forms yet to bedetermined. Most recently\, she is a recipient of a 2023 Working Artist Fellowship; a2022 Schering Stiftung Award for Artistic Research; a 2022 Creative Capital Award; a2022 Artists + Machine Intelligence Grants – Experiments with Google; and a 2021Guggenheim Fellowship in Fine Arts.Her recent solo exhibitions include KW Institute of Contemporary Art (2023)\, Art Institute of Chicago (2023)\, and Kunstverein Hannover (2022). In 2024\, she will have a solo exhibition at REDCAT (Los Angeles\, CA). Rasheed is the author of five artists’ books:in the coherence\, we weep (KW Institute\, 2023); i am not done yet (Mousse Publishing\,2022); An Alphabetical Accumulation of Approximate Observations (Endless Editions\,2019); No New Theories (Printed Matter\, 2019); and the digital publication Scoring theStacks (Brooklyn Public Library\, 2021). She is an adjunct instructor at the Cooper Unionand Barnard College\, a Critic at Yale School of Art\, Sculpture\, and an instructor at theSchool for Poetic Computation. Rasheed founded Orange Tangent Study\, a consultingbusiness that provides artist microgrants and supports individuals and institutions indesigning expansive and liberatory learning experiences. \n\n\n\nRasheed is represented by NOME Gallery in Berlin\, Germany.

SUMMARY:Artist Reception Kameelah Janan Rasheed
DESCRIPTION:Join us to celebrate the brand new exhibition of “Kameelah Janan Rasheed: all velvet sentences as manifesto\, Like a lesson against smooth language or an invitation to be feral hypertext\,” a multimedia solo exhibition featuring visual artist Kameelah Janan Rasheed (American\, born 1985) on view in the Media Art Gallery at 25 Avery Street from January 23 – March 23\, 2024.  \n\n\n\nRasheed thinks conceptually about text\, type\, and printed matter and uses publishing as a platform to engage and enlarge conversations with others. Her work invites important questions about the materiality of text\, such as\, “What is the shape of a failed sentence?” or even to quote Fred Moten speaking to the work of Renee Gladman\, “Is there an underground railroad in the sentence?” These questions are central to the artist’s practice. \n\n\n\nKameelah Janan Rasheed\, Lucid Dream\, still\, 2024\n\n\n\nA learner\, Kameelah Janan Rasheed explores writing practices across all species\, states of living\, states of consciousness\, and substrates. Curious about the poetics and possibilities of loss\, ruin\, and failure in the reading and writing process\, Rasheed explores Black knowledge production and fugitivity. She creates sprawling\, “architecturally-scaled” installations; public installations; publications; prints; performances; performance scores; poems; video; and other forms yet to be determined. Most recently\, she is a recipient of a 2023 Working Artist Fellowship; a 2022 Schering Stiftung Award for Artistic Research; a 2022 Creative Capital Award; a 2022 Artists + Machine Intelligence Grants – Experiments with Google; and a 2021 Guggenheim Fellowship in Fine Arts. \n\n\n\nExhibition hours are Tuesday – Saturday\, 12-6pm.

SUMMARY:EL Putnam: Artist Reception and Performance
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a celebration and unveiling of the new spring exhibition EL Putnam: PseudoRandom. Artist will perform a newly created piece “Ghost Work” live at 6PM. Mary Gray and Siddharth Suri define ghost work as the hidden human labor that powers our digital systems. In the performance of this title\, Putnam acts as the human mediator between two generative animation systems\, making visible the labor that responds to and produces data\, as her body acts as the database of lived experience. Please RSVP to be placed on the guest list. \nEL Putnam is an artist-philosopher working in performance art\, video\, sound\, and digital media. Her practice focuses on borders and entanglements\, particularly the interplay of the corporeal with the machinic. Through her artistic practice\, she is interested in exploring hidden histories and emotional experiences\, testing the limits of their un-representability as she takes the familiar and makes it strange. In particular\, she probes our gestural relationship to digital technology using wearable electronics in live performance\, through the creation of responsive multimedia installations\, and the crafting of short moving image and sound pieces. \nTreating art as inherently participatory\, her work opens intersubjective spaces that offer multiple conceptual and aesthetic points of entry for the audience through alchemical diffractions of experience\, cultivating new modes of embodiment. In addition to creating works that are rich in cultural and political meaning\, including the biopolitics of motherhood in Ireland\, she is interested in how aesthetic pleasure can be used as a critical strategy\, or as a means of captivating audiences in order to expose them to provocative ideas. \nEL actively presents artworks and performances in the United States\, Europe\, and beyond\, and has been a member of the Boston-based Mobius Artists Group since 2009. Originally from the United States\, she is Assistant Professor in Digital Media at Maynooth University\, Ireland and lives in Co. Westmeath\, Ireland. \n
