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 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.”

Jacir resolution
Federation came to their senses and are allowing Ms. Jacir's exhibition
to continue with no strings attached.
According to the MKJF's statement, their excuse is -- basically -- that
they're clueless:
Judith Press, Executive Director:
"We made a request to the University, and we are under the impression
at this point that this was not an appropriate request," Press said.
"We did not realize that this was considered inappropriate or
infringing on the artist's rights. We need to not ask for that if it is
not appropriate."
The University *should have* known it was inappropriate, and if not,
they *should have* consulted with the professionals running the museum
in order to determine the appropriateness of the "request" from the
MKJF. But according to a commenter on NEWSgrist posting under the name
Debbie Gordon (with a wichita.edu email address), "the lead donor in a
major building project on campus. Someone the news got to her about the
exhibit, and she threatened to pull her donation." So we see what sort
of "request" this was -- one that is very hard to refuse.
What is somewhat bizarre to me regarding this whole affair is that
there are plenty of ways to encourage dialogue around the exhibition
which would have been sensitive to everyone's needs and expectations.
Public panels, symposia, gallery talks and etc probably would have been
acceptable to the artist, but the University simply took some
ham-handed approach to the situation and compounded the stupidity with
lack of communication between all involved.
It's important to remember that the outcry against the MKJF's "request"
to place brochures and signage outside the gallery wasn't an outcry
against dialogue in the white box of the contemporary museum gallery.
It was an outcry against springing a forced dialogue on a particular
artist that would have pitted Jacir's aesthetics against the MKJF's
polemics and propaganda without consulting with the artist.

Re: Re: Arts Intolerance: Emily Jacir/Ulrich Museum Wichita
think it contains an important point, sorry if it dupes
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
OK, I'll admit that this is driving me crazy and that I should stop
posting about it...
Two things:
First, we haven't discussed that tho it's probably NOT illegal for the
museum to put these materials inside or outside the gallery, it
probably IS illegal for the artist to cancel the show. I'm sure she has
a contract with the museum and if she canceled the show she could be
sued. So she may be forced into showing her work in an environment she
finds unacceptable.
Artists take note -- we may want to start adding 'acceptable
conditions' clauses to our agreements.
Second, for the apologists on the list, I demand space on your
homepages in order to make my POV heard.
