| Continuation
of the on the spot/improvised solo violin’s uptight zipping about
with the flurry fingers and the zig zag chase; out for the tension -
the soft touch’s lament - bird song buzzing, amplified hums hurling
about - caught in the hustle, and taking care of business;
implemented with phaser and delays, etc... Wandering into the
wavelengths of heady frenzy, ensconced in the sliding of the touch
’n go - to and fro, Light into dark - dark into light, with

Tony Martin (New York) |
Thursday
25 |
| The
film and video work of Tony Martin - Throughout the 1960's the
artist created pure light and combined image projection, and
recording technique; these pioneering intermedia compositions were
first seen at the San Francisco Tape Music Center and then
internationally; the Howard Wise Gallery in NYC exhibited
viewer-activated light sculptures and installations; these used
custom mirrors, and various sensors built into the pieces; during
subsequent decades these personal systems are fed into film and
video pieces, along with electronic and stylus/pad
manipulations tonymartinartist.net |

| Since
1971, she has completed hundreds of video portraits for
installation; her works have been seen in the US and abroad in
installations that she terms ‘video portrait galleries,’ including
portraits of Richard Diebenkorn, John Baldessari, Jasper Johns,
Willem DeKooning, Robert Rauschenberg, John Cage, Joan Mitchell,
Vija Celmins, Judy Chicago, Jacques Derrida, Rosa Parks, Cesar
Chavez and Noam Chomsky among many others; since 1979, she created
another form of portraiture, '30 Second Portraits (Spots)’; some of
the portraits that will be screened here are of composers (such as
John Cage, Pierre Boulez, Alvin Curran, Michael Nyman, Carles
Santos, Liz Phillips, and Meredith Monk), other portraits shown are
on dancers (contemporary and traditional) painters, poets,
performance artists, writers, philosophers, New England Fishermen,
2011 Occupiers and a few from the series Before the Ghetto videoportrait.net |
