Stories for Telling Me

Kate — Fri, 23 Mar 2012 14:37:51 +0000

Opening tonight at Cara + Cabezas Contemporary : Now Knowing – an exhibition featuring artworks that “address early sexuality and the discovery of sexual orientation.” I am participating in this exhibition with a new work entitled, “Stories for Telling Me,” a progressive performance/video piece collecting stories of knowing, meaning, and love. For tonight’s opening, I will be facilitating Phase I: Past + Now.

You can participate long distance by leaving me a voicemail or text @ 573 286 0459, via email at stories@organicartfactory.com, or by visiting the Stories for Telling Me Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/StoriesForTellingMe).
Please let me know if you wish to remain anonymous, as these stories, images, videos, and anything else you may wish to add will become part of the exhibition in one way or another as it progresses.

Stories for Telling Me is dedicated to the memory of Mark Aguhar.

Data Loss

Our latest video entitled, Data Loss, will be premiering this Friday, March 16 at Links Hall in Chicago as part of Arte No Es Facil. Data Loss is comprised of the binary translation of all communication between the artists and their partners in Cuba as they attempted to configure and realize a work in partnership. Simultaneously confronting the limitations and possibilities of digital communication, language, and physical distance, Data Loss is the story of the creative potential so often lost in translation.

ARTE NO ES FÁCIL is a project “based in creating relationships beyond pictures between Cuba and the US through the manifestation of art. The project seeks to create a two-way passage for dialogue, collaboration, and information between our two countries by establishing connections between artists separated by location and context, yet sharing an interest in form, content or strategy.”

The Year of the Rope.jpg is slow going, but enjoyable. Meditative. A friend saw it from a distance and thought that it was a winter landscape…I hit the 5000 mark on December 19, 2011. Here are a couple of images:

KU – here I come!!

First day of classes at KU today. I’m terribly excited to begin teaching my Installation Art class. Our first project is going to be about scale – everything from theoretical issues of size + scale to the practical skills of learning to use scale models. In honor of this first day, I’d like to share one of my favorite artists with everyone.

Her name is Katrin Sigurdardottir. She hails from Iceland and works in sculptural installations. Enjoy!

A new home for an old friend…

Today we sold the pixelated guitar that we created as part of our MFA thesis exhibition. The guitar has quite a storied history in its own right, and was given to us by my aunt in 2008. It played a major role in our debut EP, Ironing is the New Boring. When it died in 2009, we decided to paint it as a tribute.

The Year of the Rope, 1

Not exactly sure what the name of the diptych is going to be yet, but this is the name of the original performance on which it’s based. The process requires that we number and individually paint each of 10800 squares drawn on a 30 x 40 canvas. It’s somewhat tedious work, but enjoyable at the same time. I’ve always enjoyed numbers…
