Hi all, Well, we've been busy setting the Shu Lea Cheang & Mark Amerika exhibition opening this coming Saturday.
Come along & say hello, It would be a great to meet some you on netbehavour also... Chat soon. marc It opens Saturday 31 August 2013, 2-5pm Duration of show - from 31 Aug - 20 Oct 2013 http://www.furtherfield.org/programmes/shu-lea-cheang-and-mark-amerika This exhibition by Mark Amerika (US) and Shu Lea Cheang (TW/US/FR) at Furtherfield Gallery marks a significant moment for contemporary art. Amerika and Cheang are both 'net native' artists. They share many of the obsessions of the growing multitude of artists who have grown up with the net since the early 1990s. They are also big "names"- internationally established artists who regularly show their work, to critical acclaim, at contemporary art galleries around the world. They have crossed over into the mainstream art world whilst maintaining a critical edge. Amerika is a media artist, novelist, and theorist of Internet and remix culture, named a "Time Magazine 100 Innovator" in their continuing series of features on the most influential artists, scientists, entertainers and philosophers into the 21st Century. http://markamerika.com/ Cheang is a multi-media artist who works with net-based installation, social interface and film production. She has been a member of the Paper Tiger Television collective since 1981 and 'Brandon' about gender fusion and the techno-body was early web based artwork commissioned by the Guggenheim Museum (NY). http://www.mauvaiscontact.info/ Both artists continue to shape and be shaped by contemporary networked media art cultures of remix, glitch, social and environmental encounters. + More information about the artists and the exhibition http://www.furtherfield.org/programmes/shu-lea-cheang-and-mark-amerika At the same time as the exhibition opening we are holding an Open Event - Shu Lea Cheang's Seeds Underground Party Saturday 31 August 2013, 2-5pm Join us for a seed exchange party where packets of seeds change hands and go underground in the fields around Finsbury Park. http://www.furtherfield.org/programmes/seeds-underground-party _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@netbehaviour.org http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
