Spaces Of Life: The Art Of Sonya Rapoport :: until March 11, 2012 :: Mills College Art Museum, 5000 MacArthur Blvd., Oakland, California.

The art of Sonya Rapoport has long operated as a bridge between the public sphere of intellectual curiosity and scholarship, and the domestic one of spiritual inquiry and nurturing. Spaces of Life presents a group of Rapoport’s interactive works, created between 1980-2010, that function in the intersection between questioning and inviting.

The installation will be structured so as to infuse the spaces of the museum with the energy of the artist’s Berkeley home and studio. Continue reading

Ghost Radio is an ongoing audio collage/fm transmission project by Ven Voisey included in the 2012 deCordova Biennial. To contribute your story, call the Ghost Radio hotline: (213)4-GHOST5 (aka 213.444.6785):

“True ghost stories and paranormal experiences are gathered through individual conversations, spirit communication attempts, telephone messages, radio technology experiments, found audio clips, social media sound fragments… What I have discovered is that ghosts are everywhere, and disembodied individuals and energies seem to be present in increasing numbers. Belief systems and skepticism varies as widely as the personalities I encounter.

Ultimately the material collected is recomposed into an audio installation that drifts between experimental music composition, cut up audio docudrama, and ghost hunt. Continue reading

Hypo Chrysos is the second piece of a series of bio-interactive works based on the Xth Sense (XS), an open, biophysical and wearable technology I’ve recently developed. The work was composed ad hoc for the Matadac Festival in Madrid, which this year explores the theme of Machines and Flesh. In conjunction with this premiere, I’m teaching a workshop on biophysical generation and control of music and video using the Xth Sense tech.

Céline Condorelli + Uriel Orlow: There is nothing left :: December 9, 2011 – January 12, 2012 :: Opening: December 8; 7:00 pm :: Alexandria Contemporary Arts Forum (ACAF) :: 10 Hussein Hassab Street, Flat 6, Azarita, Alexandria, Egypt.

In There is nothing left different works by Céline Condorelli and Uriel Orlow are in dialogue with each other in a new multi-part installation.

There is nothing left explores blind spots, unexpected epilogues and disappearances in the grand narratives of history; it starts from Alexandria and the Suez canal in twentieth century Egypt. A series of installations engage with the constitutive movements affecting time and space: movements of people and goods, the flow of capital, political movements, removal of statues (and regimes) and migrating species.

Architecture of Fear explores how feelings of fear pervade daily life in the contemporary media society. The cause of fear seems interchangeable and constantly fluctuating. Continue reading
