with Sandrine Schaefer

June 17th-21st, 2013

Monday- Friday

9 am - 4 pm

Montserrat College of Art

23 Essex St.
Beverly, MA 01915

In this week-long workshop, students will learn about the complexities of creating and witnessing durational performance art. What happens when a performance extends into hours, days, weeks, or even years? How do these works conceptually evolve over time and what effect does a lengthened duration have on the artist’s body? In this workshop, students will learn various strategies used by contemporary artists working in this way. Students will heighten their body awareness to increase physical and mental endurance. We will also explore various documentation techniques that are unique to this method of working. At the end of the workshop, students will present durational works that will be open to the public.

Price: $715 Early Bird | $795 After April 10
(available as a credit* or non-credit course | open to the public)

Longva + Carpenter reveal their Hunger

 

Tuesday, June 7, 2011  •  4 – 9pm

MICROSCOPE Gallery

4 Charles Place, Bushwick/Brooklyn NY

347.925.1433  •  www.microscopegallery.com

 

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.
