Longva + Carpenter reveal their Hunger

 

Tuesday, June 7, 2011  •  4 – 9pm

MICROSCOPE Gallery

4 Charles Place, Bushwick/Brooklyn NY

Collaborative team Longva + Carpenter presentsHunger, a new durational performance. Hunger uses the familiarity of the dinner table to isolate and augment the subtext of small talk between intimate pairs. Two women sit motionless, looking at each other from across a bare table. The women are physically connected by a banded form; their arms are linked in a single tube, as if they are wearing one piece of clothing. The knitted band suggests warmth and coziness, but also becomes a shared straitjacket, confining each to the unrelenting mirroring of the other. In this heightened visual metaphor, each woman has only a single sentence to offer. One is desperate for attention and approval (“Is it good?”), the other is withholding (“If I don’t say anything, it’s good”). Each woman is therefore isolated in her proximity to the other. Exploring the myriad relationships between two people: lovers, parent/child, teacher/student, friends, colleagues, clerk/client, Hunger considers all the ways we cannot communicate, but long to connect.

Accumulation

 

I recently uploaded some images from an exhibit that I curated called "Accumulation" in 2009.  The concept was built around the idea that the Gallery evolved over the duration of 1 month by the creative action of 6 artists.  Each artist was challenged to leave behind their own remnants and work with the remnants that were left behind by others.  I am planning to curate several phases of this exhibition.  If anyone is interested in having their work considered, let me know.
