Wednesday, June 13, 2012 No Comments by ADProjects

AD Projects is pleased to announce the one-day exhibition of CHROMATIC HI-FIVE!, a public fabric installation by Amanda Browder. The installation of CHROMATIC HI-FIVE! is the first in a series of events produced in conjunction with AD Projects’ exhibition Spectrum Vision, currently on view at Reverse Space in Williamsburg. Browder’s sculpture will cover a 17-foot U-Haul truck with fabric donated by people in greater New York City and Toronto. The piece was originally constructed for the Nuit Blanche Public Art Festival/LEITMOTIF, curated by Stuart Keeler, in Toronto, Canada in 2010. CHROMATIC HI-FIVE!, will make its Williamsburg debut in front of Reverse Space on June 17th as a complement to Browder’s wall installation Synesthesia: Lightning + Drips in Spectrum Vision, and will be open for viewing all day.

Spectrum Vision at Reverse Space will be open from 3 – 9pm on Sunday, June 17th. The evening will also include a sound performance by Brooklyn-based electronic collective HEAVYPET (feat. Crinkles). HEAVYPET will perform an experimental set from 6 – 9 pm.

Reverse Space is a hub for the Northside Festival; please check here for details about the festival and other arts events happening in the neighborhood: http://www.northsidefestival.com/art

CAMERA VIVANT preview: Part 5

Friday, February 11, 2011 No Comments by Jill

It’s opening day here in Ephraim, Utah (pronounced e-frame? ffff-ram? not sure).  We’ve got quite a bit done, but there’s still miles to go before the opening at 6 pm.  One of the artists who is here and working on site is Allison Berkoy.  Her installation, The Red Room, entails an arm chair, a sofa, two dummies (a male and a young female), projections, a television screen, and many other components.

She’s made incredible progress in the last day, and we’re about to head back to CUAC to finish install for the day.

It was installed once before at the Fountain Art Fair in 2010.  The work shows life-sized models of a man and a young girl interacting in a staged dialogue of charged sentence fragments, pregnant pauses and nervous giggles. Berkoy projects a video of her own face contorting into various expressions on the blank plane of the young female dummy’s head.

We’ll be sure to post installation shots once it’s complete.

Yours from e-frame,

Jill

CAMERA VIVANT Preview: Part 1

Wednesday, February 9, 2011 No Comments by Jill

In the next two days, the AD Projects team will be headed out west to install CAMERA VIVANT at CUAC. Since our show last summer, Piles, we’ve been hard at work doing lots of studio visits and have met so many amazing, hard-working, and inspiring artists. In this upcoming show, we’re working with a fantastic group of 8 artists and want to share a bit about some of their works before opening on Friday.  They work in photography, video, computer animation, and mixed-media installation.

We hope this will be especially enlightening for those of you who can’t make it to Utah in the next month. So without further ado, I’ll introduce a fantastic artist named Andrea Wolf. Andrea is joining us in our trek out west to Utah!  We imagine it will be a lot like the Oregon Trail, except with more pico projectors and fewer oxen.

Andrea Wolf projects found footage of two tennis players volleying a ball back on forth onto either side of a corner wall in her 2010 video Tennis from the series Little Memories.  A small-scale, sculptural reproduction of the tennis court protrudes from this corner serving as the intermediary field between the footage of the two players on which their game is staged.

While the found footage switched perspectives between the players, Andrea split the original into two separate films depicting the players individually.  She elegantly edited the film to convincingly recreate a miniature tennis game which can adapt to any corner with a right angle.  The viewer experiences both the constant movement of a tennis game while also feeling a stasis and frozen moment in time since the video loops and clearly references a past occurrence.

We can’t wait to see people’s reactions as they stumble upon Andrea’s mini tennis game.

Yours (avec projectors, sans oxen),

Jill
