100 SUNS, by Michael Light
http://www.michaellight.net/100suns/index.html

EXHIBITION:

100 SUNS
18 October - 26 November 2003
Reception and booksigning: Saturday 18 October, 3-5 pm

Hosfelt Gallery
430 Clementina Street
(between Howard and Folsom, at Fifth Street)
San Francisco, CA 94103
http://www.hosfeltgallery.com/

Between 1945 and 1992 the United States detonated 1,149 nuclear test
explosions. Until 1962 the tests were conducted in the atmosphere and
oceans. 106 of the 216 above-ground blasts were exploded 63 miles from
Las Vegas, Nevada. The remaining were detonated at the Enewetak or
Bikini Atolls in the Pacific Ocean. The immediate and lasting
consequences of these tests were unforeseen.

Hosfelt Gallery is pleased to be the first venue to present San
Francisco artist Michael Light's mixed media installation 100 Suns. At
the heart of this exhibition are 100 photographs culled by Michael Light
from the U.S. National Archives and the records of the Los Alamos
National Laboratory. The re-photographed images depict above-ground
tests at or shortly after the moment of explosion.

Utilizing the found photographs along with text and photographic imagery
shot by Light, the installation raises palpable issues about "weapons of
mass destruction" in the hands of any nation.
100 Suns, a book published by Alfred A. Knopf, will be released
simultaneous to the exhibition.

Hours are Tuesday through Saturday 11:00 - 5:30.

BOOK
100 Suns: 1945-1962
Michael Light
Knopf 2003
ISBN: 1400041139

Synopsis
"100 Suns" refers to J. Robert Oppenheimer's response to the first Los
Alamos test of the atomic bomb, at which he famously quoted a
description from the "Bhagavad Gita" - "a sun brighter than a thousand
suns". This book photographically documents 100 US nuclear detonations
from the 215 declared atmospheric nuclear tests conducted by the US
between July 1945 and November 1962. After that date, the tests were
conducted in the Nevada desert and on various islands in the Pacific.
The book is divided between the desert and the ocean. The photographs
have been gathered by Michael Light, who has drawn the material from the
archives at Los Alamos and from the US National Archives in Maryland.
This material was formerly classified but is now in the public domain.
It includes photographs taken by the clandestine Lookout Mountain squad
based in Hollywood, whose 250 producers, directors and cameramen
together with 30 to 40 still photographers were sworn to secrecy. Each
photograph is presented with the name of the test, its size in mega or
kilotons, the date and the location. The pictures are taken at the
moment of detonation, not during the aftermath.

From the Publisher
An awesome collection of 100 previously classified photographs of
nuclear tests conducted by the US between 1945 and 1962, with detailed
captions and chronology of the development of the nuclear bomb.

About the Author
Michael Light is a photographer living in San Francisco. He has been an
environmental lobbyist. His project Full Moon in conjunction with NASA
was exhibited worldwide in 1999 and 2000. He is currently working on an
aerial survey of the American West.

Peter Greenaway - a personal history of Uranium
the tulse luper network media projects
http://www.kasanderfilm.nl/tulseluperproduction/

Media projects of the Tulse luper network
The Tulse Luper Network concerns several larger productions in the whole
scope of the Tulse Luper Suitcases. At least five media are used in the
project: feature films, DVDs, the Internet, book publications and
television. Further, some parts of the project will be staged as
theatrical plays and an online game is currently being developed. The
Tulse Luper Suitcases project will culminate in a traveling exhibition,
starting in February 2005 in Berlin. Marc Thelosen of Rotterdam based
company ...Math... is coordinator of the different media projects.

To realize this vast project we are creating a network,the Tulse Luper
Network. In this network people and organizations will co-operate together
to realize most, if not all, challenges this project offers. The main
office the Kasander Filmcompany resides in Rotterdam, and will
coordinate and initiate proceedings in at least two other offices; in
Leipzig and in Rome. There are plans for additional offices in Europe and
world wide. The Tulse Luper Offices will work closely with local
educational institutes to enable students to make their contribution to
the projects.

The large scope of the Tulse Luper Network will not just allow students to
work as trainees for the projects. The many different aesthetic and
technical aspects and its long time span of production offer
possibilities to embed the various projects in the regular curriculum of
the educational institutes.

http://www.tulselupernetwork.com

This website is part of the major media project 'the Tulse Luper
Suitcases'. The site will build up an archive in the next 3 years from
which the life of the character Tulse Luper can be reconstructed out of
the content of 92 suitcases that he has apparently travelled with and are
found all over the world. It is our ambition to build it into a vast
network. Not only the life of Tulse Luper can be reconstructed from this
archive, but in addition some 60 years of 20th century history can be
explored, starting in1928 when uranium was found in Utah till 1989 with
the fall of the Berlin Wall when Tulse Luper was presumably last heard
of...

The site is designed and developed by the Dutch compnay the-Case. At this
moment students from different universities in Holland and Germany are
working on projects to incorporate into this site at some point.
Coordinator of these projects is Marc Thelosen of Rotterdam based
...Math...

The Tulse Luper Journey
The Tulse Luper Journey is an online interactive story and a multi-player
game experience, in which intensive collaboration between the players is a
must. The goal of the game is to reconstruct the life of Tulse Luper and
to unravel the mystery of his life and will be an online interactive
search in 20th centurys European History. The game is currently beind
developed by Submarine in Amsterdam. The plan is to have it online when
the first feature film: 'the Tulse Luper Suitcases: episode I - the Moab
Story' will be released.

"..The 92 suitcases also play a major role in the Tulse Luper journey, the
online game designed to complement and extend the story told on film.
Players enter the game as interns on a research team, charged with piecing
togther the life of Tulse Luper. Nobody knows the exact story, since the
films themselves present opposing accounts.." katie salen [res magazine]
