Ellen Sollod’s pinhole camera installation Outside In/Inside Out: The Inner Life of Jack

The Jack Straw New Media Gallery opened in 1999 to support artists working with visual and installation art, with an emphasis on sound. The Gallery is one feature of the New Media Gallery Program, and is one of three residency programs at Jack Straw. The New Media Gallery exhibits artists’ work through an open call process like the Artist Support Program and Writers Program. As one of a handful of exclusively sound art spaces in the world, it has been attracting applicants nationally and internationally, however Jack Straw has a commitment to local artists.

Gallery residencies include an exhibition of up to three months in the gallery; 20 hours of studio assistance with one of our engineers; access to Jack Straw Cultural Center’s audio recording, production, and presentation equipment; two public events – the opening and an artist talk; and an interview podcast.

TIME KILLS combines sound and performance for the camera from an ensemble of artist and musician collaborators. Its fast-paced editing is filled with unexpected turns that transform tropes of the still life genre, raising questions about the perception and experience of time—and how the past inhabits the present.
