SUMMARY:Sound-Sites in the Age of Utopian Recoverism: Art\, Technology and Exhibition Practices
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition Dates: August 9\, 2023 – September 30\, 2023Opening Reception: August 9\, 2023 from 12:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSound-Sites in the Age of Utopian Recoverism: Art\, Technology and Exhibition Practices includes the works of the artists Amor Múñoz and Thessia Machado\, winners of the first CIFO-ArsElectronica Awards in 2022. The exhibition will be held at the Gary R. Libby University Gallery between August 9th and September 30th\, 2023. \n\n\n\nThe main purpose of this exhibition is to initiate a series of conversations about how the artists’ exploration of the connections between art and technology can lead to rethinking problems related to our ways of inhabiting the environment. These conversations will take place in different formats including but not limited to gallery talks\, workshops\, interdisciplinary meetings\, master classes\, studio visits and small gatherings\, and should be understood as an expansion of the presentation of the artists’ works at the Gary R. Libby University Gallery. \n\n\n\nThe works of these two artists\, belonging to the Cisneros Fontanals Art Foundation Collection\, are particularly relevant to the Creative B 2023 and 2024 theme focusing on arts and disaster recovery. In her work\, Muñoz questions the mono-technological culture that has led to the depletion of natural resources and the degradation of life. Machado explores the transformation of space through technology and her work is partially inspired by “how the place most of us call home\, now have to embody different sets of expectations and interactions\,” in part due to the pandemic and other spatial conflicts and contemporary life traumas. \n\n\n\nAccording to Muñoz\, her work titled Chimera\, Expanded Bodies (2022) is “a sound installation made up of a set of bioautomata\, artificial entities that contain living matter and generate performative gestures through their biological processes\, which are monitored by sensors.” \n\n\n\nAccording to Machado\, her work int.: time slip is “an architectural lullaby. Two wall-mounted instruments react to light and vibrate the space itself with the sounds produced by bass and guitar strings.” For Machado\, her installation is way to reflect on how “[i]n the last few years\, the few rooms that most of us can call home had to perform many new roles. Safe haven\, shelter\, protective bubble\, sanitized respite\, the structural components that make a home now had to embody other types of expectations and interactions.” \n\n\n\nThe exhibition Sound-Sites in the Age of Utopian Recoverism: Art\, Technology and Exhibition Practices is curated by Jesús Fuenmayor\, director and curator at the Gary R. Libby University Gallery. \n\n\n\nSponsored by the College of the Arts Creative B Summer Program in partnership with the Office of the Provost.

SUMMARY:Time Consuming: Tanja Vuksanovic
DESCRIPTION:Screening hours for August 23 and September 1: 3:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.Screening hours for all other days: 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTime Consuming is an installation of roughly 100 videos projected onto a wall of cardboard boxes. Installed wall to ceiling\, the cardboard boxes are repurposed\, complete with shipping labels and tape. The videos feature a range of consumer products such as electronics\, cosmetics\, and vitamin supplements\, and mimic the seductive and hypnotic aesthetics of commercial advertisements. The installation consumes the viewer with its size\, composition of boxes\, and multitude of videos ranging in speed\, color\, and content. While the videos are used to symbolize advertising and the role it plays in propagating an environment of consumerism\, the boxes are an index of the online purchasing cycle and the waste that results as a byproduct of this cycle. Together\, the installation speaks to how intertwined these two are\, and how the individual is caught in this entanglement.
