"Digging the Future"

Artists

Dennis Begg, Monte Cazazza, Marque Cornblatt, Michelle Handleman, Eliot Linwood, Adam Savage, Tim Shrarmim, Dave and Cathey Spensley. Curated by Michael Lewis.

Description

Relics and curiousities recovered from the next millenium, will invite the public to visit a field museum of artifacts from our future, and help piece together the puzzle of what will be. Just as ancient artifacts left clues to what has gone before, so will future relics hint at where we are going. Seven artists/archeologists present findings from their various excavations accompanied by scientific interpretations. This is your chance to sample the future without the expense and risk of time travel.

Description

The New Media Membership Gallery will be launched by this exhibition. The philosophy of Art-Tech is that the gallery should evolve and grow with the imaginations of the artists working in the medium of technology. Our new membership gallery has been created to provide thematic juried shows bi-monthly at least five shows per year for members. This gives more artists who are experimenting with new media access to a public audience.

Exhibition Dates

December 31-January 29, 1999.

Jurors

Mark Wagner and Susan Felter.

Moving Out. Snapshots from the Book of Genesis


Artist

Christopher Dean

Description

This series takes a leisurely stroll through the book of Genesis. The story is spotty; there was no attempt to illustrate each of the book's important and defining moments or lead the viewer through the lives of its characters. Instead, the focus is drawn to individual narratives. Each piece contains a moment, frozen in time, investigated, filtered and rendered back into the fabric to become yet another point of entry into the text. The effect is similar to a funhouse mirror which, in its entertaining distortion of the truth, amplifies its source to bring about a reexamination of what seemed common and familiar. The color anaglyph print, text and glasses are conceptually integrated to further this idea.

     
     

The perspective is one which tries to remain orthodox to my Christian heritage and practice even amidst the absurd and humorous rendering of some of the stories. These are stories which form the intricate and quirky web of interhuman and human-to-divine relationships that Jews and Christians both draw upon. The book is a marvel, a testimony to the stellar range of human intellect, emotion and ethics, the dimensional God whose life the characters are so entangled in, and brilliant story telling at its best. Super naturally charged, faithful to portray the monstrously horrid actions of some of its chief heroes, tremendously humorous in the most suspicious of places. Because of this complexity, there is little effort to present carefully packaged, moral statements in these pieces; things are much too messy for that. Still the work finds room for the drawing together of ethical and theological ideas and a place to hang my questions.
