Hi, everyone,
We would like to thank our pionneering and thoughtful guests of week one, Sherry Miller Hocking, John Conomos, Kathy High, Carolyn Tennant, and Isak Berbic, Megan Roberts who have gotten this month's discussion of "Video: Behind and Beyond" off to a flying start. This week we welcome four video artists who works have been front and center in international festivals and discussions of video art, with all of these artists toggling between analogue and video systems, installation, and project. Alan Sondheim has generously gifted his archives to the Rose Goldsen Archive of New Media Art where the ETC archives are also housed. Lynne Sachs also has been discussion archival projects with the Goldsen Archive and has been so inventive in blending platforms and venues in the productive of her provocative art -- most recently last weekend in a laundromat! And Ray Roberts Ghirardo and Megan Roberts are our artistic neighbors in Ithaca, New York. Just a couple of weeks ago, Megan made a significant contribution to the Goldsen Archive of the tapes she had stored for years of the pionneering Ithaca Video Festival, which run in the late 1970s and early 1980s under the creative care of Philip Mallory Jones. We are very much looking forward to your thoughts this week, and we hope that our -empyre- subscribers will jump into the discussion as well. Welcome to -empyre_ Ray, Megan, Lynne, and Alan. Tim and Renate Megan Roberts (US) is a composer and media artist and Raymond Ghirardo (US) is a sculptor and media artist. Collaborators since the mid-70s they have produced a large body of installation work exhibited internationally in a wide range of gallery, museum, festival, public and site-specific venues including Walker Art Center, Anthology film Archives, Oakland Museum, Center for Contemporary Art, Prague, Visual Studies Workshop, Maselnice Gallery, Cesky Krumlov, Consolidated Works, Seattle, and Infermental, Tokyo. Their awards include fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts, New York Foundation for the Arts; grants and residencies from NYSCA, Yaddo, MacDowell Colony, Emily Harvey Foundation in Venice and Lademoen Kunstnerverksteder in Norway, among many others. Lynne Sachs (US) makes films, performances, installations and web projects that explore the intricate relationship between personal observations and broader historical experiences by weaving together poetry, collage, painting, politics and layered sound design. Since 1994, her five essay films have taken her to Vietnam, Bosnia, Israel and Germany ‹ sites affected by international warwhere she tries to work in the space between a community¹s collective memory and her own subjective perceptions. Strongly committed to a dialogue between cinematic theory and practice, Lynne searches for a rigorous play between image and sound, pushing the visual and aural textures in her work with each and every new project. Since 2006, she has collaborated with her partner Mark Street in a series of playful, mixed-media performance collaborations they call The XY Chromosome Project. In addition to her work with the moving image, Lynne co-edited the Millennium Film Journal issue on ³Experiments in Documentary². Supported by fellowships from the Guggenheim, Rockefeller and Jerome Foundations and the New York State Council on the Arts, Lynne¹s films have screened at the New York Film Festival, the Sundance Film Festival and Toronto¹s Images Festival. She is currently co-directing "Every Fold Matters", a live film performance presented in laundromats around New York City. In 2014, the China Women¹s Film Festival hosted Lynne in Beijing and Shanghai during a mini-retrospective of her films. Lynne teaches experimental film and video at New York University and lives in Brooklyn. For more info: www.lynnesachs.com ALAN SONDHEIM (US) is a Providence-based new media artist, musician, writer and performer concerned with issues of virtuality, and the stake that the real world has in the virtual. He has worked with his partner, Azure Carter and the performer/choreographer Foofwa d'Imobilite. Sondheim is interested in examining the grounds of the virtual and how the body is inhabited. He performs in virtual, real, and cross-over worlds; his virtual work is known for its highly complex and mobile architectures. He has used altered motion-capture technology extensively for examining and creating new lexicons of behavior. His current work is centered around the phenomenology of terrorism and anguish, and their cultural expression.
