Nira Pereg – G Spotting

Posted on April 17, 2009 by doron

G Spotting (2003, excerpt, 4MB, 1 min.)

“G Spotting is a search for the pleasure zone of the look. In keeping
with commands, which are read out aloud, the camera moves horizontally
and vertically over an architectural landscape towards what seems like
pleasure zones. Although the search is visual, the image remains unplanned,
following the sound and carrying out each command. While using the urban
landscape as a chart of the female body, the work touches on the themes of
surveillance, modern weaponry and pornography.”

by Israeli video artist Nira Pereg.

This body of work by John F. Simon was shown in September 2007
in a solo show at the Gering & Lopez Gallery in New York City.
Playing between instinct and idea, this series of large-scale compositions
combine laser cut Formica and LCD screens with endlessly changing software.
Each composition merges the physicality of the material world with the fluid
inner world of code. The LCD screen functions simultaneously as a visual element
of the surface and a window into the system’s evolution.

Voice by Cinzia Cremona

Voice (2003, 18MB, 4:38 min.)

A performance to camera taken to its extreme with the power of digital editing,
Voice ignites a conflict between an object of desire and its uncomfortable voice.
Refusing to be passive, this female collapses the psychoanalytic good breast and
bad breast into a paradoxical creature that defies expectations. It is a witness to the
complexities of subjectivity and relationships – and of being in the world.

Regardless by Cinzia Cremona

Regardless (2007, 14MB, 3:37 min.)

A woman calls you from inside a monitor and asks you to touch her.
Yes, you. This call is for you. A presence in a box requests contact in
a game of vulnerability, seduction and power. It is a call for contact now,
but it is also a call to reflect on relationships, strength and weakness,
ethics. How do you respond to vulnerability? What do you offer?
What do you ask for? What do you take?

Farheen HaQ – (un)covering

(un)covering (2002, excerpt, 13MB, 2:39 min.)

“Using 6 metres of fabric, the artist engages the viewer in a highly
personal act, playing on notions of the gaze. The artist maintains
a strong gaze of her own looking beyond the audience.
The performance becomes a drawing as the fabric becomes a line
that fills the space.”
Excerpt from a 5 min. single channel video loop by Farheen HaQ.

Cinzia Cremona – Solo Show

Solo Show (2006, 25MB, 6:22 min.)

Solo Show takes the viewer on a short trip in a complicit game of art making.
The image overlaps the body of the viewer with that of the artist. As the frame
moves from place to place, formats and titles are recalled in an attempt to
uncover the dynamics of making meaning by calling things art.
