Jack Straw announces 2010-2011 New Media Gallery residencies
The artists selected for the 2010-2011 New Media Gallery Program are:
Nari Baker will create an installation about transnational adoptees who have had unsuccessful searches for their birth parents. The piece will incorporate oral letters from herself and other adoptees to their imagined birth parents with a visual collection of these letters and digital photographs of sites significant to their adoption histories, such as birth cities and the hospitals in which they were born.
Jim Hobbs and the band Kinski will collaborate on an atmospheric, multi-media installation consisting of two 16mm film projections and a new, collaborative sound piece. The installation will be based on 16mm footage and field recordings taken at Fort Worden, in Port Townsend, Washington.
Carlisle Roveto will create a sculptural installation evoking a surreal desert canyon. The piece will guide the viewer through a maze of columns, where they can engage with wire-framed creatures that bounce and create sound in response to audience stimuli.
Robert Millis will create an installation that explores how we 'file away' memories. The piece will consist of file cabinets and chests of drawers. Each drawer, when opened, will cause a different recording to play. The recordings - fragments of voices, stories, sounds, music - when taken together, might tell a whole story.
To celebrate Jack Straw's 50th anniversary in 2012, Ellen Sollod will create an installation transforming the New Media Gallery into a camera obscura that reflects the world outside the gallery. The installation will include a soundscape that deals with the idea of urbanism and what it is to live in a city as well as Jack Straw as an institution today and historically.
