It is here that a community of creative pioneers will explore the human situation, in an attempt to re-introduce or re-inject a sense of inclusion and empowerment into the cultural mainstream by pushing the boundaries of traditional practice.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">The theme, ‘Emergence: Creative pioneers in uncharted territory’ was chosen to resonate with the context of Governors Island and the emergence occurring on this site that is so rich in history. This show in the ‘Commanders House’ (Building 14) is part of the growing cultural renaissance of the island and an exploration of its creative potential.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Emergence is a show of transformation. The Commanders house has morphed from an abandoned outpost into an inclusive, interactive, 3-dimensional, living exhibit, featuring contributions from visual artists working across fields of media which include but are not limited to sculpture, installation art, aerial kinetic sculpture, photography, and computer graphic sequencing. The installation will change over the course of the summer as a result of the interactive elements and the engagement of visiting participants. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">What are the resultant artifacts in the experience of discovery of land, creating a new set of rules and culture? What is the romanticized idea of moving to a brave new world? These can include authentic objects and ephemera of time or contemporary objects that reference people and things of the past. Who are the people who lived and passed through the island? The present reveals our questioning of economic, political, environmental, social and sustainability issues. What are challenges that we are facing today? Creative explorations of the future will reveal new inventions, manifestos and fantasies that illuminate our understanding of self, place, change and time.<br /><br />EMERGENCE Curators: Johan Kritzinger, Joyce Manalo, Elke Dehner and Audrey Boguchwal<br /></span><br /></span>Emergencehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05643741568047466471noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7854644958200932857.post-9942920491930637392008-05-31T20:30:00.000-07:002008-06-17T09:14:43.790-07:00Anne Arden McDonald<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBbzlhP6XQMZBeLK7WYlmNXLtvga4hythSLbrqsFhzz4BMWu38Cw7HFKwFiBqUGIFqyjSkUmYxRvLu9Y2WCz3C22sNY9YJQiMZVwjXOGGXguYkZeQxqk9GuNMfNIeDk7ZVrZj7-5jQcu_w/s1600-h/IMG_8160.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBbzlhP6XQMZBeLK7WYlmNXLtvga4hythSLbrqsFhzz4BMWu38Cw7HFKwFiBqUGIFqyjSkUmYxRvLu9Y2WCz3C22sNY9YJQiMZVwjXOGGXguYkZeQxqk9GuNMfNIeDk7ZVrZj7-5jQcu_w/s320/IMG_8160.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5208082785264909826" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjufkooeUakBuyWKPf-sk5HwWdAIzEj2Gomqe4i_jnarAM7t7RbQ_EdaVar2jrz-5HBU6we8OjMw-Ludz8SpO6Q8dUgoa5t2F1GKTFrSTy21tUI2edydKXgK0oFtWe6zvQxZAgo_TqPvqE_/s1600-h/IMG_8171.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjufkooeUakBuyWKPf-sk5HwWdAIzEj2Gomqe4i_jnarAM7t7RbQ_EdaVar2jrz-5HBU6we8OjMw-Ludz8SpO6Q8dUgoa5t2F1GKTFrSTy21tUI2edydKXgK0oFtWe6zvQxZAgo_TqPvqE_/s320/IMG_8171.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5208082236873677330" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Photo image: David B.

A dress is suspended in the air that invites viewers to crawl underneath it. The plumb bobs also function as a drawing tool.

They make honest statements about how we can reduce our environmental impact and they also comment upon the relational dynamics between first and third world contexts. These statements are coupled with a sideways homage to Johannesburg as the New York City of Africa.<br /><br />Participate: Both artists and viewers are encouraged to actively consider the carbon footprint incurred when producing work for exhibition and when traveling to view works, respectively.

The motivation of this project comes from the fact that most people do not take responsibility for their actions and their lives. This trio has created a scenario that spans the Atlantic and crosses the equator to Johannesburg, South Africa where the viewer tells them what to do. The artists will follow orders like soldiers do.<br /><br />Participate: For the full 9 weeks of the exhibition, visitors are offered the opportunity to "take command" and the artists will be "acting on orders". Visitors should email commands to:<br /><a href="mailto:museumofcontemporaryart@gmail.com">museumofcontemporaryart@gmail.com</a><br />and action of artists will be posted on:<br /><a href="http://actingonorders.blogspot.com/">http://actingonorders.blogspot.com.</a><br /><br /></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://actingonorders.blogspot.com"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0vXcoJGYMjS-IzuK0AO8R990y1OkAsTinuU808O1Yd9o49W7Py5JAs6Qxdiv3AGJQOLkqsGX4N09QUVm9RyjoGJh8b0RLjQoCpHvV6GGHiFFViWkkHyP4Fo_qiJafsIMEBILhj5h9bxxq/s400/-1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5223668736592090002" border="0" /></a>Emergencehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05643741568047466471noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7854644958200932857.post-58315514677961089382008-05-31T18:30:00.000-07:002008-06-17T09:56:14.804-07:00Chris Jordan<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwNJBqkuX0lp1TQem4PBzoQDO_Ek5MUHyG-rrkuaDGIzHmCR2TfTrY3jtmLs1EpmwrAzJh_sPNmSHEGRxMiEbovUSh9ETWpOCxi2Wj8B2bFtSANfvPsBPFvj3r6UKMSzdIAhiKPwN_EqDQ/s1600-h/CJordanW2+-+2.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwNJBqkuX0lp1TQem4PBzoQDO_Ek5MUHyG-rrkuaDGIzHmCR2TfTrY3jtmLs1EpmwrAzJh_sPNmSHEGRxMiEbovUSh9ETWpOCxi2Wj8B2bFtSANfvPsBPFvj3r6UKMSzdIAhiKPwN_EqDQ/s320/CJordanW2+-+2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5212895210286298082" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQNenFyXwwODP_VkQuikzMKCy1M3WSCJoitY-0hyLf4vQBB8gzSjdqpIG9G78kG5Ljgs4beE2E8Z5jcZNJSPbY4ai6L9tQhAIaCkZvCRI0e1WAhvY1qH68vBfV2miR0t6li0XbpL_KkF12/s1600-h/CJordanW2+-+1.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQNenFyXwwODP_VkQuikzMKCy1M3WSCJoitY-0hyLf4vQBB8gzSjdqpIG9G78kG5Ljgs4beE2E8Z5jcZNJSPbY4ai6L9tQhAIaCkZvCRI0e1WAhvY1qH68vBfV2miR0t6li0XbpL_KkF12/s320/CJordanW2+-+1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5212895004658418322" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-family:arial;">Photo image: EMERGENCE</span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"><strong>Chris Jordan<br />"Hectagon Heliograph Strategies", 2008<br />Projector, mirrors and camera<br />Site specific installation (2nd floor backroom and backyard)</strong><br /><br />Concept: This installation attempts to juxtapose an historical environment with the political disparity found in consumerism and warfare. The work highlights the connection to the site's military background, while fragmenting the modern day struggle surrounding the concept of land and environment we live in. Broken mirrors (found objects) with arial projections and maps of Governors Island fill the room, and an auxiliary piece in the backyard captures sunrays that reflects into the backroom.<br /><br />Participate: By incorporating environmental projections that appear constantly in motion and engaged with individuals in the installation space by projecting on all surfaces, instead of the traditional media 4:3 box. This piece aims to reverse the consumer role by reflecting and refracting the viewer's movement and physical presence. Viewers essentially become imbedded in the work through timelapse recordings.</span>Emergencehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05643741568047466471noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7854644958200932857.post-38603931889818484362008-05-31T18:00:00.000-07:002008-06-17T09:21:58.837-07:00Casper Electronics<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhzthgAJo7YoM8t50KHL8ypnWqLIGC6FVJ92-cgyBfYotyYLpKogQvGUi12Y7tOEM4RAGO6OPbeQC3zd0eHuhgthROJrwSe7RxtNGWPUpF1hvRmVMmiux2R6HFF7CYc69ST3Z8X2Fcx06z/s1600-h/Emergence+Blog+-+1.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhzthgAJo7YoM8t50KHL8ypnWqLIGC6FVJ92-cgyBfYotyYLpKogQvGUi12Y7tOEM4RAGO6OPbeQC3zd0eHuhgthROJrwSe7RxtNGWPUpF1hvRmVMmiux2R6HFF7CYc69ST3Z8X2Fcx06z/s320/Emergence+Blog+-+1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5207763620063568082" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dxOlhVrFvJ_Z4Hgrl1mFAVFVCy1awS9BdRFxNiBM2Bg0A6t5G-oKrzT3wYIQDG9ULAh7TWKqTksWn5x3h8biA' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe><br /><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-family:arial;">Photo/video credit: EMERGENCE<br /><br /></span></span><span style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;font-size:100%;" >Casper Electronics Performance</span><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:arial;"> </span></span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;font-size:100%;" ><br />Peter Edwards</span><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;font-size:100%;" >Circuit bending</span><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:arial;"> </span></span><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">20 minutes</span></span><br /></span><br /></span>Emergencehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05643741568047466471noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7854644958200932857.post-55122800282901274992008-05-31T17:00:00.000-07:002008-06-17T09:22:27.202-07:00Damon Hamm<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhb6GvtTdzSurqcF2L_0e_msDo3xoNJCSZTLfS1BDYqPn9bCbyW27_h7igvW_8cqiVAU5jd7263OO4KqJHAvVCfNI6BsbhJ3IhZ8U5nJJsEnjURpwqIO9Wset8TMiqLCDPk6PedSE4zepc0/s1600-h/Emergence+Blog+-+13.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhb6GvtTdzSurqcF2L_0e_msDo3xoNJCSZTLfS1BDYqPn9bCbyW27_h7igvW_8cqiVAU5jd7263OO4KqJHAvVCfNI6BsbhJ3IhZ8U5nJJsEnjURpwqIO9Wset8TMiqLCDPk6PedSE4zepc0/s320/Emergence+Blog+-+13.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5207752010318644434" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgl65-3QHkRkgFy2PaG580ddcKyrA_FflpBPhDT7bMoCqAKT2WpBUYMuHvlKTsUKlEttfkR2aQFbqIZ6-kSiDco70IHBLsSr7vHiFYRSL-c89cdp5rxLCmoNaHY7LQsHgAzh81t9VKCx0KO/s1600-h/Emergence+Blog+-+14.jpg"> <img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgl65-3QHkRkgFy2PaG580ddcKyrA_FflpBPhDT7bMoCqAKT2WpBUYMuHvlKTsUKlEttfkR2aQFbqIZ6-kSiDco70IHBLsSr7vHiFYRSL-c89cdp5rxLCmoNaHY7LQsHgAzh81t9VKCx0KO/s320/Emergence+Blog+-+14.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5207752012625354450" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-family:arial;">Photo image: EMERGENCE</span></span><br /><span style="text-decoration: underline;font-family:arial;font-size:100%;" ><br /></span><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" >Damon Hamm</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" >"Toy Piano (Stanley)", 2007</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" >Toy piano, wood, electronics</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" >7.5" x 12" x 12"</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Concept: As an old building of classical style, this sculpture fits with the antique motif.

Governors Island sat in the middle of water teeming with the local bivalves. Humans moved in, polluted New York's water, the oysters became poisoned and eventually all but disappeared. In a way, the apple is to Eden as the oyster is to NYC - innocence lost.<br /><br />Participate: Viewers will hear loud mumbles and noise coming from the room, but then, as they walk in, the oysters abruptly shut. After a moment the oysters will come back to life, at first tentatively. When left alone for a while they will cause quite a commotion.<br /></span></span>Emergencehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05643741568047466471noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7854644958200932857.post-13146755070950628252008-05-31T14:00:00.000-07:002008-06-17T09:25:53.568-07:00John Krill<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFC8hR6x5TjEKaQNijMQxgICvoMr4E-MgNt0qlP-KRiQzUQOl1Gwr9WjG5YDEDaQqclharU9-8FIbZ_d03z_PD5CLGkjQvcYm0YlcQBVxVQufwb9C2Opf8zh0Jx2yEB_pfSFQUC1tVmrrP/s1600-h/IMG_8050.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFC8hR6x5TjEKaQNijMQxgICvoMr4E-MgNt0qlP-KRiQzUQOl1Gwr9WjG5YDEDaQqclharU9-8FIbZ_d03z_PD5CLGkjQvcYm0YlcQBVxVQufwb9C2Opf8zh0Jx2yEB_pfSFQUC1tVmrrP/s320/IMG_8050.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5208084090876726674" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-family:arial;">Photo image: David B.

However, unlike traditional mirrors, the True Mirror reflects without reversal, so for the first time what you see what everyone else sees. The differences are not just physical, as what you say with your face is right and left sided, so your expressions and underlying personality change when they get reversed. Its the real "you" looking back!<br /><br />Participate: As you walk past the row of True Mirrors, notice some funny physics - you are always in the center of each True Mirror! Hold some writing up - can you read it? Now look into your eyes - who is that looking back? Try a smile - can it be real for once? Do you feel crooked (don’t worry its an exaggeration). Compare to the side panel - notice how its familiar, but flat and uninspiring. Think of how mirrors have been doing this your whole life!<br /></span></span><br /></strong></span></div></div>Emergencehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05643741568047466471noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7854644958200932857.post-35420107323894787772008-05-31T13:00:00.000-07:002008-06-17T09:26:57.869-07:00Michael Alan<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCQ_UHUAh6HWYtQTpa3fsQc66RyCbx5l1XjZqWhSrkL3bEQHWNva-Tn9mc6zCGxIc2OfhJD5w1YbykD044BMHmOA4k3zNm0-2RsFrWZ4r_9Xhk6D8l5jmE2KHS0dCS4ZGrklUFib_cvLmE/s1600-h/IMG_8153.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCQ_UHUAh6HWYtQTpa3fsQc66RyCbx5l1XjZqWhSrkL3bEQHWNva-Tn9mc6zCGxIc2OfhJD5w1YbykD044BMHmOA4k3zNm0-2RsFrWZ4r_9Xhk6D8l5jmE2KHS0dCS4ZGrklUFib_cvLmE/s320/IMG_8153.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5208073079491635938" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIE3rr6-wxIcmPhy-d0JL3qApH-BuY3hxqOYfUCUbjQWwiZYGc0ZepGA77W8AMAnTE3-m2VSAWxDGYHsYgT0iKeCph9HCBPAdyHcWLOzH06SSBYcTsUovUqu12S0e6AWfIkwLYdnD0H8Ve/s1600-h/IMG_8148.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIE3rr6-wxIcmPhy-d0JL3qApH-BuY3hxqOYfUCUbjQWwiZYGc0ZepGA77W8AMAnTE3-m2VSAWxDGYHsYgT0iKeCph9HCBPAdyHcWLOzH06SSBYcTsUovUqu12S0e6AWfIkwLYdnD0H8Ve/s320/IMG_8148.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5208072896780770722" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-family:arial;">Photo image: David B.

It is a collaborative art piece that grows, evolves, and takes on new meaning with each additional input and feeling. It grows like a bee hive as new combs are added, symbolizing the creative and constructive potential all of us possess.<br /><br />Participate: The installation has several existing pieces that are already in place. Viewers can place hexagonally-shaped pieces, roughly 12 inches in diameter, with varying arrangements directly on the wall with pushpins. From that point forward, the people that venture to the piece will be able to activate it in their own way.<br /></span>Emergencehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05643741568047466471noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7854644958200932857.post-27554943784980189552008-05-31T11:30:00.001-07:002008-06-17T09:28:29.085-07:00Pornj Diamond Cell<span style="font-family:verdana;"><strong><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgX5cYERO2FmFNpDEhOohKMVq2bWF2kP0e3WqrXGW8yFLzcz5fi1NE0KcUexZTDcVYsjpl_udaA-ApCdioYcxtEfuTP4SK_wBmKxoMK__iaz2BsfsOPsQ1Qy9lH5hWuHXWEhsj3AtpcESgi/s1600-h/Pornj+lores.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5208060329384905714" style="margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; float: left;" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgX5cYERO2FmFNpDEhOohKMVq2bWF2kP0e3WqrXGW8yFLzcz5fi1NE0KcUexZTDcVYsjpl_udaA-ApCdioYcxtEfuTP4SK_wBmKxoMK__iaz2BsfsOPsQ1Qy9lH5hWuHXWEhsj3AtpcESgi/s320/Pornj+lores.jpg" border="0" /></a></strong></span><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 102, 0);font-family:verdana;" ></span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"><strong><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5EsPi_MIwqxt5uqMiYiyXl3GFCsOLwx2F43JXyGemBtnsztCg4Vj_VxgXahuFLPIZUnIzEt6Ocm351PwipL2lZooT4ojqXwfHvHiCMnmqoLrmdgtdvJDzykB3_as4WYPKK0IFuawtlZrj/s1600-h/Pornj+detail+lores.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5208060323526473810" style="margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; float: left;" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5EsPi_MIwqxt5uqMiYiyXl3GFCsOLwx2F43JXyGemBtnsztCg4Vj_VxgXahuFLPIZUnIzEt6Ocm351PwipL2lZooT4ojqXwfHvHiCMnmqoLrmdgtdvJDzykB3_as4WYPKK0IFuawtlZrj/s320/Pornj+detail+lores.jpg" border="0" /></a></strong></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"><strong></strong></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"><strong></strong></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"><strong></strong></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"><strong></strong></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"><strong></strong></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"><strong></strong></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"><strong></strong></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"><strong></strong></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"><strong></strong></span><br /><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-family:arial;"><br /><br />Photo image: David B.

The title 98° refers to the approximate body temperature of humans on the Fahrenheit scale as well as a cartographer’s unit of measurement.<br /><br />Participate: The image of Governors Island is printed with regular green ink and the surrounding waterway is printed with thermochromic (heat-sensitive) dark blue ink that disappears at a set temperature. Participants may touch the image with a warm body part. The blue ink on this print disappears when it reaches human body temperature. As the ink heats up, it will disappear. For optimal results, be patient and touch the map for longer periods of time.</span>Emergencehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05643741568047466471noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7854644958200932857.post-83915515650398063812008-05-31T11:00:00.000-07:002008-06-17T09:29:20.376-07:00Saviour Scraps<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3Guyk8DtT0gVxlBYH3oLxHQqProsB7PmxROQnFOAsIC1vZLbzlgsgRKwcb1vv0h01BktfcTsyTOiy9OZC22jD_-YYFsPZ0Ca1Vd0B6H67k6gOctC0aty-tLgk3A2YIZCddjIA1tZadZH5/s1600-h/SS_2s.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3Guyk8DtT0gVxlBYH3oLxHQqProsB7PmxROQnFOAsIC1vZLbzlgsgRKwcb1vv0h01BktfcTsyTOiy9OZC22jD_-YYFsPZ0Ca1Vd0B6H67k6gOctC0aty-tLgk3A2YIZCddjIA1tZadZH5/s320/SS_2s.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5209921330973651538" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjr64mTMUe4e6cHZ5Ep3y5IR8GQ4PfeuD2h1CrxEv67vxvmHO9Cy021cB6yMuQABi4LxBkMv9K739c3x3VyYuIdbeVDIroQyBE-E8Om37uyl_BDygr7ayI76NyYqh83C-KI9Fd0huDzYAmY/s1600-h/SS_1s.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjr64mTMUe4e6cHZ5Ep3y5IR8GQ4PfeuD2h1CrxEv67vxvmHO9Cy021cB6yMuQABi4LxBkMv9K739c3x3VyYuIdbeVDIroQyBE-E8Om37uyl_BDygr7ayI76NyYqh83C-KI9Fd0huDzYAmY/s320/SS_1s.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5209921205388041010" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-family:arial;">Photo image: EMERGENCE</span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Saviour Scraps</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">"Porch Songs: Into the Shade", 2008</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Rope, yarn, clothing and textiles</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Site specific installation (front porch and 2nd floor)</span><br />Performances Saturday 5/31, Sunday 6/22 & 6/29, Saturday July 26<br /><br />Concept: Donated, used, and recycled fabric is woven into the installation that creates fantastical environment.

It deals with the literal sense of the price of the war (the most recent numbers indicate $822 billion, with expectations of it surpassing $1 trillion), but also with the cost on the lives, livelihoods, and quality of life of all of us. Military families mainly carry this burden.<br /><br />This war is quickly becoming one of the most expensive wars the US has ever fought, with the inflation-adjusted rate of WWII being the only larger amount. We are each personally getting “poked,” and asked to shell out for a war that could be seen as unconstitutional. Is it possible to fill the room with 822 billion of these paper forks? Or even 1/1000 of this figure? (Each fork representing a $1000 note.) 822,000,000 is a number that is impossible to imagine as a number that could actually be represented-- and that is part of the point of this installation, it is impossible to create this amount of a simple handmade object.<br /><br />Having the content of this installation be about the Iraq war is important because it is situated on a former military base. Site specificity is a central aspect of my work, therefore the fact that the space that I am using is a kitchen space, and the fact that it is on a military base are both drawn out in the piece.<br /><br /><br />Participate: Visitors are encouraged to add to the installation by using the provided scissors to make more of the fork cutouts. The forks can be placed anywhere in the room. Viewer participation is important because we all, in some way, are bearing the cost of this war.<br /></span>Emergencehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05643741568047466471noreply@blogger.com4
