Call for Entries: Graphic Work: Imaging Today’s Labor Movement
by admin on February 1st, 2007
The American labor movement has an amazing history of graphic
production, creating some of the most effective political images in the
history of this country. However, work and workers, along with the
labor movement, are often depicted as experiences of the American past:
photographs of children in factories in the early 1900’s, paintings of
Joe Hill or Rosa Parks, historic […]

IN_TENTION: Emerging Contemporary Performance Art Practices
by admin on October 19th, 2006
Steven Lam
IN_TENTION :: October 25-November 4, 2006 :: Tyler Gallery, Elkins Park, PA :: OPENING Thursday, October 26 2006, 7-9 pm.
This exhibition explores emerging contemporary performance art practices, and is curated by the student group Produce. The project will include work by five artists from across the country. A two-week exhibition will present ongoing performances by David Howe (GA) and Steven Lam (NY), and there will be three one-night performances by artists Quentin Davis (PA), Benjamin Kinsley (OH) and Nelson Loskamp (NY). In addition, a panel discussion will be led by philosopher, critic and artist Tom Zummer, and a workshop for students will be offered by Benjamin Kinsley from the Poke Orchestra.
Steven Lam’s project (in the Main gallery) will consist of an alternating suite of videos and a pirate radio transmission. Pulling from cybernetics/systems theory, apparatus theory, post-modern dance, and historical video art, the project is dialectical in nature; it re-uses discarded clips from an earlier library splicing them with new footage.
For the past few years, Lam has been interested in video as a medium that recodes, archives, and transmits. A new suite of videos will be introduced periodically within the duration of the exhibition. A perpetually evolving archive, the exhibition, ironic and deadpan, will be an experiment for me to toy with distributional media. Additionally, Lam will transmit an audio project on a local AM radio band of me reading the entirety of Friedrich Kittlers “Gramophone, Film, Typewriter.” This will be broadcasted and accessible 24 hours a day during the exhibition. The AM band will be announced shortly.

Naoki Honjyo: “Small Planet” Photography Exhibition
by GeoSocial on April 21st, 2006
I attended Naoki Honjyo’s “Small Planet” exhibition in Daikanyama’s Good Design Gallery with a friend, after giving up on a planned field trip to Yokohama that day (he overslept big time, and we figured it wasn’t worth going all the way up there so late in the afternoon). I had no clue where he was taking me as it was a last-minute decision on his part, but I am glad to say that I was pleasantly surprised as soon as I saw the first photograph.
Honjyo specializes in taking photographs of real people, real events, real cities, and magically portraying them as if they are dioramas.
