PAST PRESENCE - CHARLESTON

Redux is proud to present Past Presence, a group exhibition featuring new works by local artists who have had a presence with Redux through residencies, two-person exhibitions, past group exhibitions and events. The featured artists are Karin Olah, Jonathan Brilliant, Kevin Hoth, Dorothy Netherland, Seth Curcio, Jarod Charzewski and Tim Hussey.

Two featured artists will be paired up to talk about their work and process July 30, August 6 and August 13. All lectures begin at 7pm.
New! Thursday August 13, 7Pm // Karin Olah & Jonathan Brilliant

Karin Olah works in a manner that mimics the flow of paint from a brush through the use of fabric. Intricately cut, placed and pasted textiles are combined with gouache, acrylic and graphite to create collage paintings that are deep in color and texture. From a small-town upbringing in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, her interest in Amish quilts and textile traditions led her to study Fiber Art at Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore. For several years, Karin managed a textile studio in New York City where she invented color and created surface design for clients in fashion and theater trades. Now, she applies her fabric know-how to the realm of painting in Charleston where she has lived and worked since 2003. Her paintings have been featured in American Contemporary Art, Art Business News, Charleston Style & Design and Charleston Magazine and on the covers of Carolina Arts and Black & White: Birmingham’s City Paper. She is represented by ML GALLERY in Charleston, SC.

Jonathan Brilliant describes himself as a Southern Has-Been and a British Wanna-Be. He was born in 1976 in Charleston, SC. Brilliant holds a BA in Studio Art from the College of Charleston and an MFA in Spatial Arts from San Jose State University. He has exhibited his work in several group and solo exhibitions nationally, most recently at The Dam, Stuhltrager Gallery in Brooklyn, NY. He has received numerous fellowships to artist residencies and communities including: The Vermont Studio Center, The Ox-Bow School of Art, The Penland School of Crafts, The Sumter Accessibility program and Redux Contemporary Art Center. In 2008 a panel of distinguished jurors, including senior curators from the Whitney Museum, San Francisco MOMA, and The Bridge Art Fair, awarded him the myartspace.com Bridge Art Fair emerging artist prize. His work is a synthesis of the Southern craft based approach to object making and the late-1970s British methods of installation. He currently lives and works in SC with his wife, Brooke, and their cat, Zero.

LIAO YIBAI - NEW YORK

If you have not yet seen the exhibition of Liao Yibai's works at the gallery, please stop by. The show will be on view until August 15th.

Yibai's first experience tasting an American hamburger as a child is one of his most enduring memories. While attending school at the military factory, Yibai and his classmates were taught one English word a day. One day, the word was "hamburger," however, the teacher was not able to explain what it was beyond a symbol of American "decadence". The father of one classmate was going to America, so the students begged him to bring back an actual hamburger. Initially he was reluctant as he was traveling under the auspices of the Chinese government. However, when he returned, he gathered the children, shut all the windows and doors, and clandestinely pulled an envelope stamped "Top Secret" from his briefcase. From inside he pulled a five day old, greasy, American, hamburger. (At the time it took five days to travel between China and the US). Tasting it, the first student screwed up his face and declared it "Gross and Horrible". Nevertheless Yibai and his classmates all tried part of the completely rancid burger.

Growing up, Yibai's favorite dog, Manman would fight every dog it encountered. Recently Yibai visited Hong Kong's Disneyland and waited in line with his daughter to meet Mickey Mouse. For much of his life, Mickey Mouse was taught to be a major example of American culture's decadence. While greeting Mickey Mouse, Yibai noticed the figure threw a long shadow. In "Fighting Shadow", Yibai uses these two figures to represent the futility of fighting and creating enemies by showing Manman stabbing his shadow with a spear. However instead of mirroring his figure, the shadow reflects Mickey Mouse's shape.

Yibai's father worked for 40 years in a confidential military factory as an engineer of long-range cruise missiles. Believing that the USA was imminently preparing to fire on China, the Communists decided that for every one missile the Americans sent to China, they would reciprocate by firing ten missiles back. Yibai small missile sculptures are intended to be sold to the American public, thereby coming full circle from the intention of his father's lifetime work. Instead they serve as an indication that the enmity between the two countries is now over, and confidentiality should be eliminated between them.

FRANCK ANCEL - LUNE FUTURISTE

1969/2009: from Futurist Moon to Explorer Art

Conquest for Numerical Exploration of Stage and Screen

On the night of 20 to 21 July 2009 at 3:56 (French time), I will make an appointment in space and time - a Conquest for Numerical Exploration of Stage and Screen - for Internet on-line platform (room 27) on SELFWORLD founded by Ivan Chabanaud.

After releasing a streaming audio-video in real time from an aircraft in flight between Shanghai and Munich in December 2005 "From Scenography to Planetary Network" with "From Futurist Moon to Explorer Art", this is today a new setting things back to zero away from the limits of what is known.

This event is not a copy of the Cirque Calder, or my Container Theater in 1998, but it is a model that was also thought to be connected to the Internet, inspired by the words that I projected on the screen of the Montparnasse Tower in Paris in 2004, "Mobile Wireless Digital".

By coordinating the exhibition on scenographer Jacques Polieri in Paris in 2002 and Berlin in 2003, I was able to present his model in relation to the conquest of space, cosmic as well as scenic. Now I've concluded that there can be no new languages without a temporal written form as a primary consideration for experimenting with space itself. (**)

One hundred years after the manifesto of Futurism, I play with the "art of silence" (*). The so-called "technological arts" have come of age, forty years after McLuhan's theories in relation to electronic communications along with the first steps of man on the moon. We are now entering into a "digital atmosphere" that has nothing to do with the past.

Before my upcoming publication-performance-installation "00/00" in Paris, to close my triptych "1957/2007: from Sputnik Satellite to Explorer Art" and "1958/2008: from Philips Pavillon to Explorer Art" you can participate in "From Futurist Moon to Explorer Art".

I invite you as a space tourist to experience, instead of the absence of gravity, an amusing discovery and, perhaps, to leave your mark on my work, which is also a break from definite space. As Pascale did not say, "facing the eternal silence of these defined spaces which frighten us no more".

"From Futurist Moon to Explorer Art" selfworld is connected to a wireless IP camera, with different scenery available, directly from the planet Mars taken by NASA robots (***) and characters that I can animate at the time of your choice.

By purchasing a character in this work, representative of the cosmonauts, you become an actor Futurist, Marswalker, Explorer, Artist, etc., depending on your institutional support or private finances.

The pieces in this game are set in a black cube type flightcase. The entire architecture of this "Little Cosmic Theater" is available for exhibition performances in museums and galleries. This gesture is an amusing but radically critical opening to imagine real interconnections between the arts.

Franck Ancel, Paris 11th July 2009.

1969/2009: à partir de la Lune Futuriste à l'Art Exploratoire
Conquête pour l'exploration numérique de la scène et l'écran

Dans la nuit du 20 au 21 Juillet 2009 à 3h56 (heure française), je vais prendre un rendez-vous dans l'espace et le temps - un numérique pour la conquête pour l'exploration numérique de la scène et l'écran - pour Internet sur la plate-forme en ligne (salle 27) de SELFWORLD fondé par Ivan Chabanaud.

Après la sortie de streaming audio-vidéo en temps réel à partir d'un aéronef en vol entre Shanghai et de Munich, en Décembre 2005 "De la Scénographie au Réseau Planétaire" avec "De la Lune futuriste à l'art exploratoire", c'est aujourd'hui une nouvelle mise à zéro des choses hors des limites de ce qui est connu.

Cet événement n'est pas une copie du Cirque Calder, de conteneurs ou de mon théâtre, en 1998, mais il est un modèle qui a aussi été pensé pour être branché à l'Internet, inspirés par les paroles que j'ai projeté sur l'écran de la Tour Montparnasse à Paris en 2004, "Mobile Wireless Digital".

Par la coordination de l'exposition du scénographe Jacques Polieri à Paris en 2002 et Berlin en 2003, j'ai été en mesure de présenter son modèle par rapport à la conquête de l'espace cosmique, ainsi que des paysages. Maintenant, j'ai conclu qu'il ne peut y avoir de nouvelles langues sans temporelle forme écrite comme une considération primordiale pour l'expérimentation de l'espace lui-même. (**)

Cent ans après le Manifeste du Futurisme 1 2, je joue avec "l'art du silence» (*). Le soi-disant "arts technologiques" ont de l'âge, quarante ans après les théories de McLuhan en matière de communications électroniques avec les premières étapes de l'homme sur la lune. Nous entrons maintenant dans une «atmosphère numérique" qui n'a rien à voir avec le passé.

Avant ma prochaine publication-performance-installation "00/00" à Paris, à proximité de mon triptyque «1957/2007: à partir de Sputnik satellite Explorer pour l'art» et «1958/2008: du Pavillon Philips de l'art Explorer", vous pouvez participer à la "De Lune Futuriste à l'Art Exploratoire".

Je vous invite en tant que touriste de l'espace à l'expérience, au lieu de l'absence de gravité, une découverte amusante et peut-être, de laisser votre marque sur mon travail, qui est aussi une rupture définitive de l'espace. Comme Pascale n'a pas dit, "face au silence éternel de ces espaces définis, qui nous effraie pas».

"De la Lune Futuriste à l'Art Exploratoire" Selfworld est relié à une caméra IP sans fil, avec différents décors disponibles, directement à partir de la planète Mars prises par la NASA (***) robots et des personnages que je puisse animer au moment de votre choix.

Par l'achat d'un personnage dans ce travail, représentant des cosmonautes, vous devenez un acteur Futurist, Marswalker, explorateur, artiste, etc, en fonction de votre soutien institutionnel ou privé des finances.

Les pièces de ce jeu sont définies dans un cube noir de type flightcase. L'ensemble de l'architecture de ce "Little Cosmic Theater" est disponible pour des performances d'exposition dans les musées et les galeries. Ce geste est un amusant mais radicalement critique d'imaginer l'ouverture réelle des interconnexions entre les arts.
