I have a little web-based animation that's included in the Riders on
the Train show curated by Nance Davies. The animation can be seen at
http://www.ethanham.com/infinitesubway (make sure your speakers are
on). The show's website is at
http://www.axiomart.org/riders/
The opening reception is tonight (Friday November 13th, 2009) at 6:00
pm. I'm not able to make it to the openings, but if you're in Boston
you might want to drop by.
From the press release:
'RIDERS on the TRAIN' is an interdisciplinary art exhibition
exploring new relationships between artist, audience, site, and
context. Drawn from an international call for submissions, these
artists and writers explore 'the private within the public' experience
of mass-transit in Sweden, Australia, South Africa, India,
Switzerland, NYC, London, Madrid, Paris, Berlin, Mexico City, Chicago,
San Francisco, Seattle, LA, DC, Portland, and Boston. The poetics of
acceleration, compression, fragmentation and sensory immersion are
explored as the artists record, collaborate, and devise small scale
tactical interventions - juxtaposing high with low technology.
'Riding Artists' sample their 'ride' and generate an aggregate
description of the mass-transit experience through a diversity of
lenses and media including video, sound art, photography, web-based
interactivity, performance, installation and writing.
Artists in the show include Manuel Vazquez, Sarah Rushford,
Stephen Cady, Jeff Morris, Jesse Malmed, Nance Davies, Andrew Sempere,
Denise Marika and Dana Moser, Henry Gwiazda, Francois de Costere,
