Description

HERE is a series of performances projected across numerous digital platforms. It is an investigation, reaction, and dialogue about Art on the Screen. Here explores the trivium of subject, camera, and observer. It concerns itself with time, in that the works are temporal and permanent; performance and document. It ponders the voyeuristic paradigm many are navigating in the age of COVID-19 where we are physically separated yet invited into each other's homes. Moments happen and are held in no-place places. They are here, anywhere, everywhere, and nowhere. Here is a scavenger hunt that invites artists and viewers to bounce across various communication, display, and presentation platforms. We have invited artists that have created work specifically meant for the screen, whose final product is meant to be consumed through a computer or phone. Artists include: MOREHSHIN ALLAHYARI · JIMENA BERMEJO · JOVAN BROCK · JYLIK BUISSERETH & WARREN DICKSON · TOM MAIO · KIRK AMARAL SNOW · MANDY CANO VILLALOBOS Information about performance location and times will be released on our channels: montserrat.edu/galleries || facebook.com/montserrat.galleries || instagram.com/montserratgalleries || Montserrat Galleries on YouTube PERFORMANCES Monday, June 15 Jimena Bermejo Tabled 2:00–6:00pm YouTube Live Tuesday, June 16 Mandy Cano Villalobos Sanities and Solitudes: Blow (Birthday) 7:00–7:30pm Wednesday, June 17 Morehshin Allahyari She Who Sees the Unknown (Aisha Qandisha) 7:00–7:30pm Thursday, June 18 Kirk Amaral Snow Untitled 7:00–7:30pm Friday, June 19 Jovan Brock 6:30–7:00pm Jylik Buissereth Survey and Herd 7:00–7:30pm Montserrat College of Art is a private, residential college of visual art educating the designers, artists, entrepreneurs for a rapidly changing world that requires creative solutions to new challenges.
