KARL COONEY (documentation)

....lengthy exposition (scroll down)...Ayana Evans sent an email introducing performance art organizers in NYC/metro area to Atadja Lèwa, who will be in NYC for a very short time only, in the throes of some very intense international travel and practice. Yes, absolutely! We have a free night at PPL in the throes of show season, yes let's do it. Atadja says yes to Feb 1, and yes, curate other artists, who speak to themes like death, love, identity, sexuality (INDEED). Who's around and has been doing (p)articularly interesting things? Yes! 3dwardsharp hasn't performed @PPL recently (they just moved back to Brklyn), Uniska Wahalo Kano just posted on facebook that she wants "gigs"=DONE/anytime, and w/ Nia Nottage there happens to be email correspondence already in process about some potent work + yes, these four together crosses powerwires w/high potential to generate tactile+cognitive+agentic forms of disturbance and desire = invitation: information: confirmation (yes). Karl volunteers to document/perform doc. YAAS this is going to be *YES* (surge) now someone has to write "blurbs," for "the outside" which is a real problem I.E. if you want YES=thisisart one is supposed to write something like this::: "these four artists investigate thresholds and tolerances. using their bodies to transgress social codes, cross-contaminating "real" and virtual spaces, and working over the sharp edges of nationalities, personalities, identities, and intimacies blah blah "shock" metaphor" (basically: believe it lady, ART = states beyond death) bbbut to whom/&forwhy do we give up the ghost? (DOWN WITH CULTURAL IMPERIALISM) language is not the opposite of sex (YES! MAKE ME CRY) & you are not the opposite of me, death is not the opposite of any-thing (DRAMA) &neither is it no-thing; THEMES! take off your uniforms! don't just stand in the DOORWAY, come in!

KARL COONEY:
Can video documentation amplify the reach of a performance or only commodify it?
Which performances should be documented and who decides?
Will processing and organizing of raw footage with a machine learning algorithm yield any insight or beauty? Is there any way to avoid appropriation of the images of others or is a sterile art object devoid of context or spirit inevitable?

Matthew Gantt: Iterations

Sunday, September 18th 2016

Installation open from 1pm-8pm

Performance at 8pm featuring: Jeremy Toussaint-Baptiste, Julia Santoli, Akio Mokuno, Amelia Marzec, Hans Tammen, Cesspool + Karl Cooney

http://gantt.works/Call%20for%20Realizations

--------------------

Presenting a pop-up recording studio as functional sculpture, a double cassette album release, and a complex network of conceptual research, Iterations is an investigation into the production of recorded media in the age of digital plasticity.

Gallery visitors are invited to participate in a call for realizations during installation hours, to be featured as part of the resultant cassette release by Gold Bolus Recordings. Other processes on display explore methodologies for the creation of media that exists as both infinitely reproducible form and procedurally unique content.

Drawing equally from Walter Benjamin's conception of aura and Brian Eno's writings on generative music, these systems will culminate in an evening length performance intended to highlight the works included in Iterations as the confluence of event, artifact and documentation.

Trauma salon : disorder & detachment

Thursday, January 28th 2016

nostalgia is life-threatening. mercury retrograde is a real thing. how much more can you tolerate? how many systems have you recycled in your life?
everything is necessary. more will be revealed. everyone's in love. everybody's terrified. we are a collective book; writing & editing each other, always.
in such a way, we endlessly sustain.
