We will not be free if we do not imagine freedom… Dislodge the mind from the lazy\, timorous habit of thinking that the way we live now is the only way people can live.\n— Ursula K. Le Guin \nStatues and Attitudes is a three day exhibition and series of free public workshops and events; an imaginary educational institute and retreat center; a portal and a liminal space. Examining 1970s feminist speculative science fiction and themes such as environmentalism\, aging\, consumerism\, and time travel\, Statues and Attitudes investigates the trope of the futuristic female-only utopia as an exploration of female agency and liberation from patriarchy. Society faces a sudden catastrophic event. At this moment even the hope of human survival seems like a utopian desire. We seek to create a ritualized\, aesthetic space within which we will consider strategies for collective healing\, self-critique\, and social change. Metaxis is a Greek word that means an in-betweenness\, a way to exist in two different worlds at once. We visit astrologers and crystal healers. We have a sense of humor and a sense of responsibility. We find ways to protect and love each other. Statues and Attitudes gathers a chorus of women’s voices\, past and present\, that sings of things to come beyond the terrifying immediate future and of old possibilities that were never allowed to exist. We can make things happen.  \nWe invite you. You are not a consumer but a participant. We want to uncover our connections and reveal our communities. What are you are thinking? How are you feeling? There is no outside where you can simply stand and watch. We travel through time. We are laughing and crying. We are listening and reaching out. Anyone willing to participate is invited. Climb the ladder and throw it away. The body is engaged with our process of thinking. Thinking takes place simultaneously in the brain\, the body\, and the world around us. The universe is participatory. The universe is relational. The space from here to there is fixed. Those are the riverbanks. But the space between is unforeseeable. The river you enter is always new.

SUMMARY:Yann Novak: Repose
DESCRIPTION:Opening Reception: February 10\, 7 – 10pm\nClosing Performances: Rebecca Bruno\, Sarah Rara\, & Geneva Skeen\, February 18\, 8 – 10pm\nGallery Hours: February 11 – 12 & February 15 – 18\, noon – 5pm\nCurated by Suzy Halajian \nRepose is a solo exhibition of new work by Yann Novak that explores how context changes perception. \nRepose consists of an audiovisual installation and series of seven chromatic prints. The installation presents a monolithic sound piece\, comprised of purely synthetic timbres devoid of traditional compositional elements\, accompanied by a projected field of light that continually shifts in color\, hue\, and saturation. \nThe series of prints\, titled Repose.Heptaptych\, is fabricated on acoustic absorption panels and installed in the gallery foyer. Each print represents one of the seven fundamental colors in the installation. The acoustic properties of the material serve to dampen the ambient sound outside the gallery as the audience enters the more sonically excited environment of the installation. \nThe first iteration of this project began as a performance commissioned for the 2014 AxS Festival and was performed in Cocky Eek’s inflatable SPHÆRÆ. The performance was an examination of the inseparability of sound from context\, and its effects on our perception of time\, space and subjectivity. In that piece\, Novak proposed that our experience of sound is highly dependent upon the listening environment\, and that the modernist notion of “reduced listening” introduced and championed by Pierre Schaeffer is problematic as our ability to understand and decode sound is always produced as a negotiation between phenomenon and context. For the listener\, there is never an opportunity to decouple the phenomenon of listening from the personal\, structural\, and political context within which the sonic field exists. \nWhile structurally similar to the 2014 performance\, Repose reframes the original inquiry into the relationship between sound and environment by extending it into the world outside the gallery. While the original performance asked\, “How does a simple shift in color influence our experience of sound?”\, Novak asks the audience to allow their own experiences as a witness of the recent US election debacle to precede their interpretation of the work\, and further asks\, “How do the economic\, political\, and social problems of the United States recode our collective listening experience? What does it mean to come together as participants\, as subjects\, and allies in this context?” \nThe exhibition’s closing will present performances by Rebecca Bruno\, Sarah Rara\, and Geneva Skeen. Rebecca Bruno will offer a choreographic response to Novak’s Repose.Heptaptych. A gestural run-on sentence performed in four orientations meditating on the relationship between movement\, subjectivity\, and repetition. Sarah Rara will present Separating the Air\, a new performance which involves games of listening and learning between voice and computer at the boundary between music and speech. Each part is a device to punctuate silence\, divide time\, move the air.  Geneva Skeen will present Pop Song\, a temporal response to Novak’s drone work\, and a cultural response to our times. In harmonizing with Novak’s loop – divided into 3-4 minute segments (the average acceptable length of a pop song) – Skeen’s Pop Song acknowledges that populist times call for populist measures\, but refuses populist comfort\, acceptance\, and pale standards of beauty as means of resistance.
