An informal lecture by the artists will touch upon their collaborative practice and their interest in alternate and revisionist histories. The talk will take place within the duo's 'Fix It' office where they worked at editing, redacting and manipulating September, an art historical broadside made specifically for TBA.

Lecture
Vanessa Renwick

The MFA in Visual Studies invites Vanessa Renwick to speak for the 2011-12 Graduate Visiting Artist Lecture Series.

Working in experimental and poetic documentary forms, Vanessa Renwick produces films, videos and installations that explore the possibility of hope in contemporary society. She puts scholars to rout by solving through nature’s teaching problems that have fretted their trained minds. Her iconoclastic work reflects an interest in place, relationship between bodies and landscapes, and all matter of borders.

Presented by: ZGF Architects LLP

Supported by PNCA+FIVE (Ford Institute for Visual Education)

Louis B. James
143 Orchard Street
New York, NY 10002

Louis B. James is pleased to present its inaugural exhibition You can never go home anymore, featuring the work of Travis Boyer, Kelly Jazvac, Arnold J. Kemp, and Virginia Poundstone. Through diverse media, the four artists grapple with the materiality and origin of an object, creating subtle transformations and minor displacements. You can never go home anymore is a verbal stumble, a deviation on Thomas Wolfe’s title sung by the Shangri-Las, a story of a regretful runaway whose home has disappeared. The work on view betrays this inconspicuous though definitive shift away from one’s origins.

September 8th - October 30th, 2011

Anna Gray & Ryan Wilson Paulsen present "Don't Worry We'll Fix It" for PICA's annual Time-Based Art Festival. This show will be on view throughout the festival, as a part of the "On Sight" program.

How is it that 115 billion human life stories are distilled into one approximate “history”? Anna Gray & Ryan Wilson Paulsen indirectly approach that question through the establishment of a production office that specializes in redaction and restorative text-work.

The Fix It office will employ a variety of divergent archival and historiographic methods in order to examine the ways that the institution of history is continuously built up and broken down through texts.

The office will both produce the publication September, a daily art historical broadside specially made for TBA:11, and be an active space where the artists will work onsite to correct, revise, and compile errata from previous editions of the paper amidst a new body of their related object-work.

Opening Reception

Gallery Hours: 
Sept 9-Sept. 18 -- 12-6:30 everyday
