Critical exploration of old monuments meets the analysis of a new mom’s wardrobe. A study of family names parallels unanswered questions about the meaning of home. Moon-like rock sculptures find new context alongside documentation of the fight to preserve a community garden, and abstracted landscapes contrast patterned knits. –on view function findAnchor(linkID){ var yPosition= $("#"+linkID).offset().top + "px"; $('html,body').animate( {scrollTop: yPosition }, 300); } Photography— the recording of ephemeral moments in time with a camera on light-sensitive film; drawing with light. <img width="1200" height="1600" width_o="1200" height_o="1600" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/60340c97394fd9b56f6368d1c9f3b1be833472177f1959956d34737bd68663af/jamesbarkleyphotography.jpg" data-mid="224929986" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/60340c97394fd9b56f6368d1c9f3b1be833472177f1959956d34737bd68663af/jamesbarkleyphotography.jpg" /> James Barkley Calm in the storm Public green spaces in New York City are a rare and precious commodity, which is why the community’s outrage over the impending destruction of Elizabeth Street Garden for a new housing development is so profound. Despite alternative sites being suggested for the project, Mayor Adams remains resolute in his decision to proceed. This photographic series seeks to preserve and map the fleeting moments and memories of this cherished space before it is irrevocably lost. By framing the images as if they were part of a verdant wall, the work aims to offer the viewer a similar sensation of being engulfed in the garden’s lush and calming greenery.

It premiered at SCOPE BLN in Berlin in 2021 during Filipa Tojal’s exhibition, which work was used to generate the visuals. At the premiere, The Artist presented the AV work as follows: “I used electroacoustic music, photo editing of painting close-ups, machine learning models and generative visuals. At first, I borrowed colors and magnified details from photos of paintings made by Filipa Tojal. Then, I treated these materials as generators of imaginary naturalistic landscapes that morph into each other continuously, creating a flow of green and blue shades juxtaposed with the sharp and shiny outlines of the strokes of the paintings. It is a peaceful visit to an unknown place. It is an auspice, an expression of my genuine curiosity, and a form of escapism from the impossibility of meeting and visiting that we are all subject to the current pandemic. Music is created according to this feeling by following the charming colors streams and turning them into soft melodic patterns and colored textures. The artwork title Inner Landscape is a wordplay on In A Landscape, a meditative piano work of John Cage that inspired the piano part of the piece (In A Landscape is inspired in turn by Erik Satie’s compositions.)” The piano plays a meditative modal melody in a loop, around which several fragmented and off-beat electronic sounds and percussions develop a constantly changing flow of sound between structure and ornament. The modal pattern changes twice, becoming darker in its second variant and more open in the third one, which partly homages to Nine Inch Nails’ work through a pseudo-Mixolydian set of notes, with occasional drifts occurring due to a deliberate usage of ambiguous dissonances. Inner Landscape Album is released by Elli Records on Bandcamp and every major streaming platform.

The work invites reflection on how histories are written, rewritten, and wielded—an ongoing act of control over identity, culture, and progress. Today there are over 17,000 Official Texas Historical Markers placed throughout the landscape of the state. Texas has the most prolific state historical marker program in the United States with a high proportion of historical markers focused on maintaining the memory of the Confederacy. Each charcoal rubbing captures more than text; it embodies the texture, erosion, and physical presence of the markers, serving as a metaphor for the selective preservation of history. The chosen markers represent not just isolated events but the broader effort to shape collective memory through the physical landscape. Mythography— the compilation, description, or analysis of myths. <img width="1512" height="2016" width_o="1512" height_o="2016" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/491e030bc56c175c8ab8e0eeaa743f789a3d9bd0d2d89dd29dc2c0f6ef35652c/c_field_2.jpg" data-mid="224929943" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/491e030bc56c175c8ab8e0eeaa743f789a3d9bd0d2d89dd29dc2c0f6ef35652c/c_field_2.jpg" /> <img width="1512" height="2016" width_o="1512" height_o="2016" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0caba27d0c3fc85d082b5644e8efbfeed9114693ad378880c12d2e95ec98a890/c_field_1.jpg" data-mid="224929942" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0caba27d0c3fc85d082b5644e8efbfeed9114693ad378880c12d2e95ec98a890/c_field_1.jpg" /> <img width="1512" height="2016" width_o="1512" height_o="2016" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b6e648d78a6c3d8c39e43eac6cd09aca8c6ebad941f183e626531a8752eeb16c/c_field_3.jpg" data-mid="224929944" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b6e648d78a6c3d8c39e43eac6cd09aca8c6ebad941f183e626531a8752eeb16c/c_field_3.jpg" /> Christopher FieldReasons For Knocking at an Empty House (After Bill V.) 31 Johnson Ave in Mount Sterling, Kentucky was the first home I ever owned. In 2013, my wife Sarah and I moved to Kentucky for my teaching job and bought the house cheap, a fixer upper in a small town near a small city. Our son was born and we lived there for three and a half years, until Sarah became suddenly ill from bacterial meningitis and died after three and a half months in the hospital. Our son was in preschool in Lexington (the small city) and he and I needed to move there so he would have continuity in his life with that at least (the commute to Lexington, to my school, to Lexington and back would have been untenable). I decided to sell our house. A local realtor came and met with me to go over the details and after a few months, it sold. Sarah and I had done so much work on the house (ourselves, we didn’t have money to hire contractors) and imagined taking lovely, sun-lit photos of the renovated rooms to impress prospective buyers, should we ever move. I never looked at the real estate listing–I told the realtor what I wanted to get for the house and that was that. Over the years since then, the house has been the backdrop and setting for my memories of our time as a family, as the place the three of us lived together for a short while–the only place we lived. Despite knowing better than to do so, late one night I searched for our old address online and found the Zillow listing. It contained 44 photos taken by the local realtor who sold the house. They were snapshots taken with a digital point and shoot camera–there were even orange dates superimposed on the lower right hand corner of the pictures. Some were taken in July 2013, when Sarah was still alive, and most were taken in October, when she was not. In the realtor’s photos the house is empty, devoid of anything marking us as its owners, save the white walls and occasional intentional use of plywood. The photos are awkwardly framed–sometimes I struggle to identify which room we’re seeing. Viewed as a collection, the photos give a detached view of the empty house, of the space, of the light on those summer and autumn days.. I see my toddler son playing with IKEA trains on the floor, my late wife reclining on our blue sofa. The old listing on Zillow ends with “This Can Be Your Home!!!!”, and it could, or could have been your home in 2013, as much as anything is ownable or knowable or understandable, then, now or ever.

Transfer stems from a compilation of over 80 of my own answers—everyday experiences of belonging and connection that map to an array of incongruous desires, locations, and times. When I moved to Germany, I expected to feel a more straightforward appreciation for the privilege of occasionally flying “home.” In reality, the 24-hour periods that see both Berlin and Boston set me totally adrift. The airplane is a bridge between lives, but it’s also where I see most clearly the impossibility, no matter what choices I make, of compiling all of my versions of home into one reality. (If I’m lucky enough to get a window seat, I try to lose myself in the clouds instead of dwelling on this.) This work is constructed with watercolor (part of my current home) and uses words excerpted from my many home-definitions, rendered by hand with aging dry-transfer Letraset sheets. Letraset is no longer produced, and while I was initially hesitant to use this irreplaceable material, the effort fittingly parallels my experience.

How do the meanings/origins of our names represent who we are? Are they tied together? What happens to identity when two families of vastly different cultures meld together in marriage? How do we continue to honour our histories in a blended family? “I am” navigates these questions and more, representing names of my immediate family (context: Karnataka, India) and husband’s family (context: New Hampshire, USA). While Ashok/Dwarkanath, Vasantha, Janhavi and Vaishnavi are rooted in Hindu mythology and Sanskrit; William, Lisa, Robert and Amanda are rooted in family history &amp; lineage, European naming origins, and American culture. Through freehand-cut panels and laser cut marigolds, “I am” lives as a hanging lamp; honouring each family member. Their names and roles (anchors, protectors, companions, partners, nurturers) are symbolized through different motifs. Lamps evoke a feeling of sanctuary, anchored in the memories of my dad building unique table lamps to make our house a home. Marigold garlands cascade down, celebrating our families coming together. Geography— the study of the physical features of the earth and its atmosphere, and human activity as it affects and is affected by these. <img width="4642" height="6497" width_o="4642" height_o="6497" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1b4af887754c1f22e3a03fa104c9dc8852b404ec3901e8129970bf936e309901/KMallia-Rocks-4.jpg" data-mid="225134764" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1b4af887754c1f22e3a03fa104c9dc8852b404ec3901e8129970bf936e309901/KMallia-Rocks-4.jpg" /> <img width="1500" height="2100" width_o="1500" height_o="2100" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e82ac31a40500b057ad96a0a1eea0635eb1f43fd55c1bf207c75d9f71fcb7074/KMallia-Rocks-1.jpg" data-mid="225134763" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e82ac31a40500b057ad96a0a1eea0635eb1f43fd55c1bf207c75d9f71fcb7074/KMallia-Rocks-1.jpg" /> <img width="1500" height="1875" width_o="1500" height_o="1875" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/24dfa4040ef1d49bf6f87be7e88e60dd3a36c13dcd72145d68773150bb43b406/850_6705-sm.jpg" data-mid="226537999" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/24dfa4040ef1d49bf6f87be7e88e60dd3a36c13dcd72145d68773150bb43b406/850_6705-sm.jpg" /> <img width="1500" height="1875" width_o="1500" height_o="1875" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9f3def33bf9a1cf89908a2f3ba130eb3e2b1ffbeb518edfd54042cc6116b844c/850_6874_sm.jpg" data-mid="226538000" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9f3def33bf9a1cf89908a2f3ba130eb3e2b1ffbeb518edfd54042cc6116b844c/850_6874_sm.jpg" /> <img width="1500" height="1200" width_o="1500" height_o="1200" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5defd8fbe0ecaf62231cc32d0c9a0755ecbc56accd73e3031f55511b1409749c/850_6910_sm.jpg" data-mid="226538001" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5defd8fbe0ecaf62231cc32d0c9a0755ecbc56accd73e3031f55511b1409749c/850_6910_sm.jpg" /> Kristen MalliaReconstructed Site: Geography (as Memory Device) with Rock Flats My work examines ritual, collection, and preservation through material and process-based investigation. I am interested in the relationship between identity and geography, and the placed-based nature of memory. My work considers the evolution and accumulation of behaviors and structures over time with a particular focus on histories in relation to “home” spaces. Site-specific research, rituals, environmental processes, and multimedia techniques inform a range of methodologies for understanding memories, foundations/landscapes, and the trust we place in these ever-shifting structures. Through rigorous documentation, memories and landscapes are iterated, re-presented, and re-contextualized over time. Reconstructed Site: Geography (as Memory Device) with Rock Flats is a collection of work that began in early 2020 when I was Artist-in-Residence at Skaftfell Center for Visual Art in Seyðisfjörður, Iceland. Memory Device is a collection of time-based memories. The video is accompanied by immersive audio crafted by CK Field from my personal field recordings. Rocks is a body of handcrafted forms constructed with air dry clay, and inspired by the vesicular basalt that surrounded the fjord where I resided at that time. Rock Flats were constructed for this exhibition using Oriented Strand Board, air dry clay, and hardware. Referencing stage flats, which are large flat pieces of theatrical scenery used to create an illusion of context and depth, this rock wall examines the accuracy of memories and our recollections of particular moments in time and place. ︎︎︎Top https://radiuscollective.com/Tangent-2 Wed, 20 Dec 2023 16:03:09 +0000 Radius Collective https://radiuscollective.com/Tangent-2 TANGENT &nbsp; &nbsp;TANGENT &nbsp;&nbsp; JANUARY 4-11, 2024&nbsp; MAGMA GALLERY, ROME&nbsp; Tangent: a straight line or plane that touches a curve or curved surface at a point, but if extended does not cross it at that point — or — a completely different line of thought or action.

This series aims to capture some of the energy, fun atmosphere and visual stimuli one is exposed to on a trip there. I believe it’s this special energy that comes from the mix of all walks of life there that draws people back, and has made it such an iconic playground that has withstood the test of time.

Fluctuations of the two population numbers are used to generate sound in real-time. Their motion can occur in several forms: periodic patterns, quasi-periodicity, attractors, and chaos. Its fragile balance reflects how little changes in a simple ecosystem might escalate into macroscopic effects.

Joshua Duttweiler UptickTwo-channel video, 2022 The Port of Corpus Christi is the largest port in the United States in total revenue tonnage and is the largest crude oil export gateway in the nation. The passage of these large ships are awe-inspiring in both the scale of the vessels, the length of their journey to this small seaside community, and the potential negative impact of its’ cargo.

These pieces are the result of work inspired by the intersection of knitting and typography—recognizing that changing the scale of an alphabet being used for knitting requires a redesign, essentially changing that alphabet’s resolution. This process is reminiscent of past practices creating analog typefaces, for example punchcutting.&nbsp; <img width="3596" height="2331" width_o="3596" height_o="2331" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2b9efed7564c63de9863eca69c49d958a488db0987b7c6702eb1fb9076250369/IMG_7242.jpg" data-mid="164717411" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2b9efed7564c63de9863eca69c49d958a488db0987b7c6702eb1fb9076250369/IMG_7242.jpg" /> <img width="3676" height="2757" width_o="3676" height_o="2757" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8e921c3ecf3f242d86ba0a877cc9b83ebcd0533f6d4d7fcddfb3e7fc9a72abb8/IMG_7243.jpg" data-mid="164717412" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8e921c3ecf3f242d86ba0a877cc9b83ebcd0533f6d4d7fcddfb3e7fc9a72abb8/IMG_7243.jpg" /> Molly Haig Speech/Pattern Risograph posters, audio, 2022 What shapes our experience of a conversation? Underneath the words, timing can render a conversation inviting or exclusive, engaging or sluggish. Do we speak simultaneously in enthusiastic support? Do we wait several seconds to jump in? This is subjective and heavily influenced by our cultural backgrounds. I find it both comforting and fascinating that our perceived emotional alignment or misalignment sometimes just comes down to expected pause length. Speech/Pattern is a study of the pauses in a facetime call with my family—the source of my own cultural orientation around conversation timing. <img width="4200" height="3300" width_o="4200" height_o="3300" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d9464cef49d002799afc989e7d8a7e4dbf6378f8227406d565d547c4ca53a07c/1.VKumar_watercoolers-copy.jpg" data-mid="163781681" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d9464cef49d002799afc989e7d8a7e4dbf6378f8227406d565d547c4ca53a07c/1.VKumar_watercoolers-copy.jpg" /> <img width="4200" height="3300" width_o="4200" height_o="3300" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5de0130c2b7b01229ab83426987b37742cb5c5fa593d15c64af486dc7e08edf2/3.VKumar_watercoolers-copy.jpg" data-mid="163781683" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5de0130c2b7b01229ab83426987b37742cb5c5fa593d15c64af486dc7e08edf2/3.VKumar_watercoolers-copy.jpg" /> <img width="4200" height="3300" width_o="4200" height_o="3300" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ad686d6ed6db8135cce5b945e6ba590a0b4c3e1990770ad7edbe628225a19d67/2.VKumar_watercoolers-copy.jpg" data-mid="163781682" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ad686d6ed6db8135cce5b945e6ba590a0b4c3e1990770ad7edbe628225a19d67/2.VKumar_watercoolers-copy.jpg" /> <img width="4200" height="3300" width_o="4200" height_o="3300" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/00ad7bf16e6db354750dac607d4675848b6ce2eaabda0f6470b5e9e923f58b3f/4.VKumar_watercoolers-copy.jpg" data-mid="163781684" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/00ad7bf16e6db354750dac607d4675848b6ce2eaabda0f6470b5e9e923f58b3f/4.VKumar_watercoolers-copy.jpg" /> &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; Vaishnavi Kumar “Water, water, everywhere”, الكويت Photography, 2022 Life in Kuwait offers a consistent visual landscape: a spectrum of sepia tones, blue skies, shrubs, trees, and a seamless blend of modern and traditional architecture. With extremely hot summers (112°F on a good day), cool drinking water is vital. Residential streets are lined with a series of free drinking water coolers on every block — many installed by the Ministry, and some by residents. Often designed in unexpected ways, you’ll see water coolers mimicking traditional Kuwaiti architecture, shaped like giant water bottles or pots, or even as miniatures of Kuwait’s most popular landmarks. As odd and unexpected as they are, these water coolers are a significant, much-loved part of Kuwait’s daily landscape. What is oddly normal in your hometown’s daily surroundings?

The reconstruction of landscape through surface experimentation becomes a performance, with on-site photography, graphite iteration (on stone-based paper), and environmental processes informing a modified version of place. Landscapes, foundations, and even “home” become ever-shifting structures that are iterated, re-presented, and re-contextualized over time. The composting of organic household waste (April 2022–present), supported by comprehensive record-keeping, is displayed and packaged — organic media and daily ritual becomes artist-crafted substrate (soil as identity). Paper manufactured from calcium-carbonate reinforces the role of geological processes. https://radiuscollective.com/About Fri, 16 Apr 2021 19:27:09 +0000 Radius Collective https://radiuscollective.com/About About Using the symbolic and literal form of a line, Radius Collective is a creative body of artists and designers focused on critical discourse around identity, place, and connection.

The final solution is the alignment of all of the artists.&nbsp;In contrast to previous years, this project could focus on positive emotions and the desire to unify, but not necessarily. Each member conducted an interview with another member for 20-30 minutes. Each interview started with the same first question: What is the first thing you think about when you hear the word align? Each member then created 3 executions in response to the interview as well as their own understandings/interests as related to “align.” Participating Radius Collective artists:1. James Barkley2.

As the pandemic continues to strip away the superficial, relationships have either become closer and stronger, or faded away with the old world. One truth that holds is how aligning on core values is of the utmost importance for a thriving relationship.

They collect and dissipate, refracted through memory. Recording them is a form of alignment with ourselves, but as we change, the accuracy of their narrative changes too. Accumulation is an ongoing bedtime ritual. Each captured phrase connects to the experience of living through the day, and each resulting six-sided form reframes its content. Together, these memories create an intricate, illegible cloud, the original sentiments obscured but not erased.

Ben’s work at that time was centering on the Matterhorn, the beloved natural monument that punctuates the Alps that straddle Switzerland and Italy. Curiously, my mother’s comical tale of train-hopping while 5 months pregnant led her straight up the Alps. This alignment was one of many. As I dipped into different aspects of my studio practice with Ben’s “environmental renderings” in mind, concepts seemed to overlap in myriad unexpected directions. “tran•script” began as a digital process space where the flaws of Zoom transcription and glitchy wifi might mirror the lapses in memory recollection and the re-telling of family stories over time. Digital mock-ups made connections tangible, resulting in three physical “landscapes” (sculpture) and one “reconstructed memory” (video). __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ Benjamin Earl MisalignmentVideo For something to be misaligned, it must be out of alignment with something else.

My piece layers different visual representations of audio files (of a piece of music, of the recorded “Align” conversation, of a rejected podcast theme I composed for my sister, as text) with images of my late father, who was an art teacher for 35 years and who died in 2021.

Similarly, the act of change in ourselves is a hesitant, brave and cyclical action — a contrast between what feels safe and familiar and what is exciting and bold to reach a mysterious middle ground that could be neither or both. Are you ready to make a shift? Even if it’s scary? Even if it changes you? __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ <img width="4000" height="5662" width_o="4000" height_o="5662" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5702f50829102f343cb0bec72523fa25680dd64606d732e62cab66baa973a375/Align_left_duttweiler.jpg" data-mid="130343769" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5702f50829102f343cb0bec72523fa25680dd64606d732e62cab66baa973a375/Align_left_duttweiler.jpg" /> <img width="7017" height="9933" width_o="7017" height_o="9933" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/aa41d75e6af1f5c8f5d8b2a385b715e0cfcc18fe4a34213c2c7087a78ceb5295/Align_middle_duttweiler.jpg" data-mid="130343771" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/aa41d75e6af1f5c8f5d8b2a385b715e0cfcc18fe4a34213c2c7087a78ceb5295/Align_middle_duttweiler.jpg" /> <img width="7017" height="9933" width_o="7017" height_o="9933" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/bdbf0e5c3a0da9361809850136870458d23db99ce34ddb3913560bbc2e751ea8/Align_right_duttweiler.jpg" data-mid="130519834" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/bdbf0e5c3a0da9361809850136870458d23db99ce34ddb3913560bbc2e751ea8/Align_right_duttweiler.jpg" /> Joshua Duttweiler Where the earth doesn’t meet the skyInkjet print, projection installation, 2021 The desert of South Texas is alien, calm, and vast in its emptiness.&nbsp; A summer trip across the border region where divisions are drawn in this otherwise blank space, forced in the desert sand.
