SUMMARY:Fragile Monuments
DESCRIPTION:Fragile Monuments: Paper Sculpute by Jyung Mee Park  \nJyung Mee Park creates sculpture with thousands of pieces of rice paper. Each sheet of paper is folded by hand with the assistance of students and community groups. The artist then creates the installations on site by layering the sheets of paper\, one by one\, into a larger form without adhesives. \nThe sculptures are influenced by archetypal forms in nature\, forms rooted in ritual practices (Buddhist lanterns\, mandalas) and forms derived from daily labor in agricultural communities (thatched roofs\, haystacks). Many of these traditional structures were meant to be impermanent and seasonal\, but now are replaced by industrial processes and materials. The works explore traditional craft practices while participating in the dialog on contemporary art and installation art. \nIn a past project at P.S.1 in New York City\, the artist involved over 400 high school students. The artist will be in residence on weekdays from September 21 through October 6\, 2000\, working with students and school groups and installing the sculptures in the Turk Gallery open to the view of visitors. Plan to visit the Museum during this time to see the installation in progress. \nAbout the Artist \nJyung Mee Park received her BFA from Parsons School of Design in 1986 and went on to receive an MFA from the Rhode Island School of Design. She has recently exhibited at P.S.1 in New York\, Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington\, D.C. and Seoul Arts Center in Korea. \nASU Art Museum Presentation \nOrganized by Heather Sealy Lineberry\, Fragile Monuments will be installed in the 2\,500-square-foot Turk Gallery of the Arizona State University Art Museum at the Nelson Fine Arts Center. \nDuration \nFragile Monuments (October 8 – November 5\, 2000) is open Tuesday from 10 am to 9 pm\, Wednesday through Saturday from 10 am to 5 pm\, and Sunday from 1 pm to 5 pm. \nSupport\n\nThe exhibition is supported in part by Friends of the Arizona State University Art Museum.

SUMMARY:Oyvind Fahlstrom
DESCRIPTION:Oyvind Fahlstrom: The Complete Multiples  \nOyvind Fahlstrom: The Complete Multiples is a comprehensive survey of Fahlstrom’s graphic work\, including twenty-seven prints as well as four multiple editions in three-dimensional object and book format. \nAbout the Artist \nA multi-media artist\, Oyvind Fahlstrom (1928-1976) produced works in film\, performance\, installation\, sculpture\, print\, and painting. His influences were diverse\, including the Dadaists and Surrealists\, pre-Columbian manuscripts and modern Mexican art\, john Cage\, and underground American comic books. Using text and imagery to convey complex information about the world around him\, Fahlstrom’s work brings to life psychodramas that investigate the historical context of political\, social\, and economic concerns. Aesthetically\, the interaction between artist\, the art object and its viewer is explored through game-theory\, maps\, puzzles\, performance\, and installations. \nASU Art Museum Presentation \nOrganized by The University of Illinois at Chicago\, Oyvind Fahlstrom: The Complete Multiples will be installed in the 2\,500-square-foot Lower Lobby South Gallery of the Arizona State University Art Museum. \nDuration \nOyvind Fahlstrom: The Complete Multiples (August 5 – October 29\, 2000) is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 am to 5 pm\, and Sunday from 1 pm to 5 pm. \nSupport \nThe exhibition at the Arizona State University Art Museum is supported in part by Friends of the Arizona State University Art Museum.

SUMMARY:PHACAEANS
DESCRIPTION:PHACAEANS  \nPhoenix has rapidly developed from a desert landscape of saguaro\, buttes and roaming wildlife to its current cityscape of over three million people. Desktop video artist Sloane McFarland superimposes an Homeric tale on this melding of desert land and optic-linked people: Odysseus’ encounter with the Phaeacian people. PHACAEANS \, a desktop video/laptop installation\, assumes the perspective of one living from and through a desert metropolis; one who – using calculus and memory – recognizes that surroundings constantly transmute. \nAbout the Artist \nSloane McFarland currently resides in Phoenix\, Arizona\, where he is a desktop video/installation artist\, making videos with a consumer-available camera and computer. He received his Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy and Mathematics from St. John’s College of Santa Fe\, New Mexico\, in 1995. \nHis recent projects include: Spine \, a desktop video/sound installation as the inaugural exhibition of Jennifer Katell’s Guard Shack space at Bergamont Station\, Santa Monica\, California; T-West \, a desktop video/performance/installation at Barlow & Straker\, Phoenix\, Arizona; and NAUSAKKAA \, a desktop video/laptop installation for the one-hundred artist exhibition The Spurgeon Experience \, Santa Ana\, California\, curated by Mike McGee and Max Presneill. \nASU Art Museum Presentation \nOrganized by John D. Spiak\, PHACAEANS will be installed in the 2\,400-square-foot Experimental Gallery of the Arizona State University Art Museum at Matthews Center.

SUMMARY:Club Extra
DESCRIPTION:Club Extra\n“Beauty” is spandex on a perfectly toned thigh\, perspiration on an upper lip\, sweaty underarms of live artists in action. A fitness club\, a performance venue\, and an art museum are all spaces of objects and subjects of beauty. All share the promise that their institution might help us transcend the physical to the ethereal. We sweat\, we critique\, we long to be a part of these institutions of absolute beauty. \nClub Extra is inspired by the similarities between health fitness clubs and art museums. We become members\, bring friends\, grapple with beauty\, carry attitude\, and gaze at what we want (or wish we had) while trying to achieve profound aesthetic connections. The vaporous sweat of art enthusiasts and health fanatics will fill the space of a major art institution. \nClub Extra Operates on Three Different Levels \nSpecial one-hour exercise classes will be held in the Experimental Gallery of the Arizona State University Art Museum throughout the exhibition. Participants are invited to work off “Art Ass” or observe others work it off for them. The classes will be complete with an instructor\, loud music\, All-Sport power drinks and a towel girl/boy. “Angie\,” the Fitness Coordinator of Club Extra\, will facilitate all classes and club activities. Angie doesn’t have a degree in cardiovascular performance\, but she knows how to “turn it on” and she wants others to reach that higher state of performance. \nWhile riding a stationary bicycle or developing inner thigh muscles\, participants can listen to “Walkin’ to Concepts” and “Sweatin’ for Academia.” Participants not interested in “collaborative” performance can visit the interactive installation and check out a headset of “Theory-on-Tape.” \nUsing the strategy of local fitness clubs\, there will be brochures and free membership opportunities at major sites around the Tempe/Phoenix area. Temporary membership cards will be distributed in the exhibition invitation. \nComplimentary\nTemporary Membership Card: \n   \nAbout the Artist\nAngela Ellsworth currently resides in Phoenix\, Arizona\, where she is a visual and performance artist. She received her Master of Fine Arts in Painting and Performance from Rutgers State University of New Jersey in 1993. \nHer recent projects include: performance/installation at the Salt Lake Art Center for Out of the Closet which also included three of Ellsworth’s mixed media works; performance/installation at Barlow & Straker in Phoenix with Tina Takemoto as Her/She Senses entitled Squeak and Clean</em>; and waist/waste room\, a performance for the opening reception of the Arizona State University Art Museum exhibition Art on the Edge of Fashion. \nEllsworth’s writing will be published in the upcoming performance book\, Women’s Comedy: Cross-Cultural Perspectives on Gender and Humour\, edited by Lizbeth Goodman (Cambridge: Polity Press) and an issue of Contemporary Theatre Review on performance and disability with a paper entitled Performing Illness: Crisis\, Collaboration and Resistance. \nASU Art Museum Presentation \nOrganized by John D. Spiak\, Club Extra will be installed in the 2\,400-square-foot Experimental Gallery of the Arizona State University Art Museum at Matthews Center. \n \nDuration\nClub Extra (January 29 – March 12\, 2000) is open from 10 am to 5 pm\, Tuesday through Saturday.

SUMMARY:Face Off:
DESCRIPTION:“Censorship is to art\nwhat lynching is to justice.”\n-Henry Louis Gates\, Jr.\, 1990 \nTwo of the most prominent African-American painters of their respective\ngenerations\, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Michael Ray Charles make works that\ndraw from complex cultural sources. Some of these sources are shared— the\nheritage of Africa\, and the American black experience of slavery\,\nexploitation\, and racism— and some are unique to each. They are both\ninformed and energized by resistance to persistent colonial stereotyping. \nBasquiat\, a controversial figure who painted for only eight years\, is of\nCaribbean ancestry\, a New Yorker who participated in the street culture of\nthe graffiti artists (he was SAMO)\, and soared to fame in the high-rolling\n80s\, dying at the age of 27. The debate is open that questions who\nexpolited whom. Was the market-driven art world of the 80s duped by the\ninfant terrible or did that art world\, in which money and the cult of personality\ncan so easily become focal\, create and then turn its back on Basquiat the victim? \nCharles is keenly aware of the dangers of exploitation. But unlike\nBasquiat\, whose reactions seem to beat an immediate gut level\, Charles\nanalyzes the traditions and sources of sterotypes. He does meticulous\nresearch into sources to find the origins of the caricatured images. He\nuses the imagery of advertising that puts forth black figures — athletes\,\nentertainers — to sell products\, bringing into question the role of a double-edged\nexploitation\, of both the consumer and the figure used to sell the product. \nStylistically\, the two artists are diametrically different. Basquiat\,\nworking in an intentionally primitivist manner\, is close to the abstract\nexpressionists in his use of paint and the directness with which he goes\nfrom feeling to canvas and in the texts that emerge from free association.\nCharles uses the skills and strategies of the graphic tradition he draws on\,\nmaking pastiches of circus banners\, and advertising signage with a\nrelentless wit. His unmasking of visual and textual stereotypes turn\nintention and meanings against themselves. Like other black artists of his\ngeneration\, he challenges the audience by keeping the often insulting\nstereotypes before our eyes so that they continue to be the subject of\nanalysis. His work does not romanticize or apologize for these images\,\nrather his work puts them under a microscope to seek the roots of racism\nrather than to hide its persistence.

SUMMARY:The Eye of the Collector: Works from the Lipman Collection of American Art
DESCRIPTION:Howard and Jean Lipman lived with their collection which embraced both classics of modernism and folk art. The works in this exhibition were for their eyes only\, the work that they lived with in their apartment and home. The spirit of their untrammeled collection is apparent in their choices and in the dynamic confluence of the two sides of their collector personalities. \nThe exhibition includes works by Alexander Calder\, Louise Nevelson\, David Smith\, Roy Lichtenstein\, Claes Oldenburg\, Lucas Samaras\, Robert Morris and will feature folk art and jewelry. \nA Public Reception for this exhibition was held Sunday\, November 21\, 1999 at the Nelson Fine Arts Center. \nThank you to Gentle Strength Cooperative and Starbucks Coffee for their generous contributions.

SUMMARY:Sig-alert
DESCRIPTION:Original Sigalert device from 1955\nPhoto courtesy of Loyd ‘Sig’ Sigmon \nDedicated to Loyd ‘Sig’ Sigmon (b.1909)\nRadio Pioneer and Father of the Sigalert \nThe exhibition Sig-alert looked at the work of artists actively involved in the Los Angeles art scene. These artists take responsibility for energizing and promoting the LA art community by finding alternative/non-traditional approaches to exhibiting\, not only their work\, but the works of others. Along with traditional gallery showings\, they have curated exhibitions\, organized art spaces and exhibited in venues such as the Hollywood Department of Motor Vehicles and the Pavilions Super Market. Through their outstanding artwork\, focused commitment and dedicated\nentrepreneurial efforts\, they have created a new shape for LA’s always kinetic art scene. Instead of waiting in traffic\, they find new routes around the road blocks of the art world. \n Sig-alert was re-curated at California State University\, Fullerton as Sig-alert 2. The exhibition included works by all of the original Sig-alert artists. The exhibition was presented at CSUF’s\nGrand Central Art Center in Santa Ana\, CA from June 19\, 1999 through August 14\, 1999. Works for Sig-alert 2 were selected by Mike McGee and Susan Joyce. \nIn Collaboration with Smart Art Press\n\n \nA reception with performance by Habib Kheradyar\ntook place January 29th from 8-10 P.M.\n*Reception sponsored by Arizona Roadhouse. \nThank you to Smart Art Press\, Santa Monica\, CA. for their support of this exhibition.\nPlease visit the SMART ART PRESS WEBSITE to learn more about their publications.

SUMMARY:Contemporary Art from Cuba: Irony and Survival on the Utopian Island
DESCRIPTION:In present day Cuba\, humor has come to play an essential role in coping with the challenges of everyday life in the face of an uncertain national destiny. In September 1998\, the ASU Art Museum opened   Contemporary Art from Cuba: Irony and Survival on the Utopian Island  \, an exhibition of the work of 17 contemporary artists working in Cuba today. \nThese artists are young\, ranging in age from 24 to 39; many of them are Afro-Cuban. While they are the generation that voices skepticism about the pieties of the socialist Revolution\, they remain loyal Cubans. Included in the exhibition are Pedro Alvarez\, Belkis Ayón\, Abel Barroso\, Jacqueline Brito\, Yamilys Brito\, Carlos Estévez\, René Francisco\, Carlos Garaicoa\, Luis Gómez\, Kcho\, Los Carpinteros\, Sandra Ramos\, Fernando Rodríguez\, Esterio Segura\, José A. Toirac\, Tonel (Antonio Eligio Fernández)\, and Osvaldo Yero.  \nThey comment on shortages\, persistent racism\, the manipulation of history\, and the tragedy of the balseros who left on makeshift rafts\, the contradictions between revolutionary rhetoric and present day Cuban reality. \nThe ASU Art Museum specializes in contemporary art\, and has a reputation for exhibiting work that is experimental in content\, form or presentation. Recent projects have included Bill Viola: Buried Secrets\, the US representative to the 1995 Venice Biennale; Art on the Edge of Fashion\, presenting artists who use clothing forms and materials to convey meaning; Physical Fiction: Electronic Installations by Sara Roberts and  Dis/Functional. \nFor more information on the exhibition\, catalogue and videotape \n  Contemporary Art from Cuba:  \n  Irony and Survival on the Utopian Island  \n contact: John Spiak  \n ph: 480.965.2787  \n fax: 480.965.5254  \n or  spiak@asu.edu

SUMMARY:Millennial Myths: Paintings by Lynn Randolph
DESCRIPTION:Millennial Myths: Paintings by Lynn Randolph organized by the Arizona State University Art Museum examines “metaphoric realism” paintings by Lynn Randolph. The exhibition\, curated by Marilyn A. Zeitlin\, opens on February 21\, 1998 and closes on May 24\, 1998. Randolph’s works bring together ideas of art\, science and technology executed since 1989\, reflecting her interest in radical science\, the body\, and visions of the future. It displays an array of the iconographic vocabulary that she has developed to dramatize ideas in compelling visual terms. Randolph has honed a style that she calls “metaphoric realism\,” that presents the visionary in vividly tangible terms\, giving the work an intensity and edge that satisfy the longing for images of the unknown. The vision hovers between the novelist Thomas Pynchon’s Gravity’s Rainbow and the films of Andrei Tarkovshy or Ridley Scott’s Bladerunner. In fact Rachel in  Bladerunner\, a cyborg with emotional capacity for fear\, love\, and confusion\, personifies [sic] much of Randolph’s notion that the changes that science will bring need not be regarded as invasions of the mind and body snatchers. Randolph most clearly aligns herself with artists as the visual translator of the unseen. Her artistic kinships are with Frida Kahlo and Remedios Varo\, William Blake\, Jan Van Eyck\, Rene Magritte\, Georgia O’Keeffe\, Hieronymus Bosch\, Francisco de Goya\, Pierre Bonnard (for his iridescent color)\, medieval manuscript illuminators and painters of Mexican Ex votos and retablos . \nA catalogue will include essays by Donna Haraway\, David Hopps\, and Marilyn Zeitlin\, and a text by the artist. Haraway’s publications include Primate Visions: Gender\, Race\, and Nature in the World of Modern Science (Routledge: 1989)\, Simians\, Cyborgs\, and Women: The Reinvention of Nature (Routledge: 1991)\, and more recently\, Modest Witness (Routledge)\, which includes many of Lynn Randolph’s paintings. Haraway is a Professor of the History of Science at University of California\, Santa Cruz. Marilyn Zeitlin’s most recent publications include Too Late for Goya: \nWorks by Francesc Torres (1993)\, Art Under Duress: El Salvador 1980-Present (1994)\, and Bill Viola: Buried Secrets (1995).

SUMMARY:Physical Fiction: Electronic Installations
DESCRIPTION:Sara Roberts is an artist who for the last eight years has been working with interactive video installations\, making portraits of common relationships; mother and child; watcher and watched; person and thing; husband\, wife and friends. Video and physical space work together in the installations to establish tensions which involve the visitor in a kind of social sculpture. Computers are used to sense presence\, sequence video events\, and provide an underlying\, biological-seeming tendency to the installations. The work occurs more in the world than on the screen. The visitor participates as a whole person\, not just with eyes and mind. \n\nThis installation is currently open at the ASU Art Museum’s Matthews Center Experimental Gallery from November 22\, 1997 to January 31\, 1998. Physical Fiction was originated by the ASU Art Museum and organized by Heather Sealy Lineberry\, Senior Curator. The Experimental Gallery features exhibitions that explore new formats\, media or content. \n\nIn Early Programming\, Sara’s first interactive piece\, the visitor sits down at a kitchen table with a computer “mom” (named MARGO) and is effectively recruited to the role of child. Since the computer is supposedly a neutral presence\, Sara wondered what the effect would be if it said things that were less words than emotional tokens\, as exchanges between parents and children often are: Why do I have to? Because I say you have to!\nWith a machine voice and an onscreen rectangle as an emotional indicator\, which appears smaller and darker as her mood worsens\, it is hard to mistake MARGO for anything but a machine. But the power of familiar words is strong and it is often difficult to tear visitors away from the argument. \nSara was commissioned to make The Digital Museum based on the theme of the museum in the age of computer technology. The installation explores the contemporary shift in emphasis from finding\, naming\, and categorizing\, to seeing the relationships between that which has been collected\, and ourselves\, and questioning objectivity. A physical relationship seemed like a first step\, thus when a finger reaches through the glass and touches an object a varied vocal response is generated. \n\nElective Affinities \nElective Affinities was adapted from Goethe’s novella and involves questions of passion and commitment in marriage. In 1806\, at the age of 57\, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe finally married the woman he had lived with for eighteen years\, the mother of his five children. He then fell in love with Minna Herzleib\, a young woman of eighteen. This affair provoked him to write the novella with the odd title\, Elective Affinities\, a term used at the time in chemistry to describe a perfect molecular attraction. Goethe’s metaphor has survived as we still describe sexual attraction as chemistry. \nThe video installation brings the characters from the novella\, the devoted couple and their two friends\, into the present where they sit together in a car suspended in time. Each character runs through a constantly fluctuating range of emotions affected by the emotional states of the other three. This is where a network of computers becomes useful for a narrative. Each character runs its own “emotional engine” which shifts when a glance is sent by another character\, bringing new interpretations of past events. \nTheir expressions are stored on laser video disc\, and called up by the computer as appropriate to the current mood. On the walls of the gallery are the drafts of the thoughts for each character\, each square becoming a memory\, each memory interpreted 12 different ways. Choosing a pivotal moment in their complicated relationship\, writing out and videotaping each characters thoughts\, Sara attempts an extension of literature into the sculpture realm\, bringing thoughts off the page and into space and time. \n\n\n\n\nCollege Unit:\n\nASU Art Museum
