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

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 - 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: Fwd: rally to end


I think the advocates against rent control are missing the point of the first post.

The landlords are illegally evicting people and using a loophole in the law as a fig leaf.

Whether or not you agree with rent control, do you agree that shady landlords should use under-handed and illegal tactics to sidestep the law? Or should they try to change the law through the democratic process?

Hey! Billsburg ain't nasteee! It's the bomb! That's where our studio is and I love it. N. 6th st, ahhhh, what a beautiful place. Y, there are lots of posers, so what! I always said I'd never complain about bburg gentrification (or hipsterification) since I was part of the problem anyway. I ain't gonna start now :-)

Seriously tho. I lived in bburg and greenpoint for over 10 years and I have a real soft spot in my heart for that part of brooklyn. Before i moved to another part of BKLYN, I mentioned to Kevin McCoy that I lived on Grand St. btw Bedford and Berry. His reply? "Ah. Right on campus." hahahahahahaha

Haha. Ya know? It's true. Thankfully. We NYers always say that, "new york isn't really america," but it's strange to hear someone from the "real" america say it.

Tell me, why do you say that? Just curious.

good luck.
