BIO

Artists M. River and T. Whid formed MTAA in 1996 and soon after began to explore the internet, video, software and sculpture as mediums for their conceptually-based art. The duo’s exhibition history includes group shows and screenings at The New Museum of Contemporary Art, Postmasters Gallery and Artists Space, all in New York City, and at The Getty Research Institute in Los Angeles. In "New Media Art" (Taschen, 2006), authors Mark Tribe and Reena Jana describe MTAA’s "One Year Performance Video (aka samHsiehUpdate)" as “a deftly transparent demonstration of new media’s ability to manipulate our perceptions of time.” The collaboration has earned grants and awards from Creative Capital, Rhizome.org, Eyebeam, New Radio & Performing Arts, Inc. and The Whitney Museum of American Art.

TRACEPLACESPACE
seven audio works .mp3 - Cary Peppermint 2007

The audio works of TRACEPLACESPACE were formed loosely in response to ever-accelerating technological developments, passing time, urgent ecological issues, and remarkable events of our globally connected system in process long before but brought to the forefront since the latter part of the year 2001. The works of TRACEPLACESPACE are components of a digital, multi-media, network-infused performance of the same title.

I like to perform this work in small community venues, outdoor gatherings, art-spaces, and galleries where everyone is welcome and can sit on the floor, talk to one another, and drink green tea. However I will perform TRACEPLACESPACE approximately anywhere.

Filming Outside the Cinema


I have to admit that I'd not given much thought to film outside the cinema, web film or live video, or anything like that, but I've spent lots of time here hanging out with Peter Horvath and I'm impressed.

Peter Horvath, Tenderly YoursPeter makes very beautiful films for the web, and you can check them all out online. Today he showed us The Presence of Absence, which was comissioned for the Whitney Museum's Artport in 2003, and then Tenderly Yours from 2005, which "resituates the personal, casual and ambiguous approach of French new wave cinema in a net art narrative that explores love, loss and memory. The story is recited by a striking and illustrious persona, who moves through the city with her lover. Her willful independence is intoxicating, though her sense of self is ambiguous..." Gorgeous.

Cut Piece - Yoko Ono
Cut Piece (2006, 36.5MB, 9 min)

“Ono had first done the performance in 1964, in Japan,
and again at Carnegie Hall, in New York, in 1965.
Ono sat motionless on the stage after inviting the audience
to come up and cut away her clothing, covering her breasts
at the moment of unbosoming.”

Re: Re: Cremaster web site


These potshots at the financing behind Barney's work are rather pathetic.

Personally I'm excited that an individual coming from the world of
art has been given the resources to create a (for art film)
high-budget work. I see Barney as bringing the values, philosophy,
and traditions of contemporary art to 'the big screen'. I'm excited
that an artist is given the opportunity to compete against main
stream film by getting a budget which, tho paltry compared to Hwood,
is a decent independent film budget.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, if there is a greater
artist of his generation please point that person out to me. (I
didn't want to like Barney, but remembering the '93 Whitney Biennial,
his work is the only work in the entire show that I can vividly
recall.)

This web site is great at giving folks some clue as to the narrative
and background of his films which can be a bit.. opaque?

Personally I like his objects more than his movies which can be a bit
long and boring. Most art video/film has a tendency to linger way to
long on a particular shot and unfortunately Barney falls into this
trap. I can forgive him this for two reasons, first, it seems a
symptom of his genuine love of the images he's creating and secondly
perhaps it's a reaction to the fast-cut aesthetic of the dominant
media (to which I've been trained to enjoy so perhaps it's my fault I
find it boring).

But, I think the real key to Barney's work is that he's an extremely
traditional artist, conservative in a way. I think he bemoans the
loss of meta-narrative in our culture, that is, the place the Bible
once held in western culture. He decided that to make art objects he
needed to reference a meta-narrative so he created his own using the
dominant narrative media of contemporary culture, film. So, instead
of Jesus on the cross, we get Fion MacCumhail: The Case of the
Entered Apprentice.

The web site itself is a bit lame IMO. It could be much easier to
navigate and there is no way to link to specific pages but that's
flash for ya...
