Before the Rush, Installation by Adriane Colburn
The Visionary Drawings of Edward Matthew Taylor, by Frederick Loomis
Northern Lights, 16mm Film by Kerry Tribe
Liquidations – The Dance of Water & Power, Installation Video by Jessica Tully
=================
Adriane Colburn is a San Francisco-based installation artist who reconstructs personal and social history through the study and reinterpretation of maps, photographs, and other historical documents. Her site-specific installation, Before the Rush, consists of a large paper sculpture that is inspired by San Francisco maps dating from the 1700s to the present. Colburn engages with the ways in which history is constructed from absence – defined as much by the lack of information it holds as by that which it purports to tell. Her installation incorporates both the linearity of maps and the abstraction that emerges from a tangled mass of information.
San Francisco-based artist Frederick Loomis presents a series of graphite drawings by Edward Mathew Taylor. Taylor is a fictitious individual constructed by Loomis in the attempt to focus attention on the artwork rather than the artist. The meticulous renderings integrate image and text as a means to advance the artist’s personal prophetic vision. This work is part of a larger project to publish The Third Testament: The Genesis Story of the Coming Race of Human Computers, a legend of a human super race that traces back to prehistoric times and prophesizes a coming race of human computers.
Los Angeles-based artist Kerry Tribe works in a film, video and installation to investigate memory, perception, and subjectivity. Northern Lights is a 16 mm film that explores encounters with light through abstract imagery of colored light. Inspired by her personal experiences facing blinding white light on a snow-covered highway and witnessing the northern lights during a cross-country trek, Tribe’s installation projects film footage of a psychedelic optical light device. The film is accompanied by eerie sounds of a lyricon, an obsolete wind instrument/synthesizer.
Jessica Tully is an Oakland-based artist who explores the intersection between performance and social sculpture, and often incorporates dance, political activism and Hip Hop culture. Her new project Liquidations: The Dance of Water & Power is a choreographed water ballet performance and installation that highlights the connection between water, power, privatization, and consumption. The performance involves four swimmers enacting a water ballet in the California waterway. At Southern Exposure, Tully will present a video installation with drawings and texts of the performance.
In the OVERLOOK Project Space, the first year students in the MA Curatorial Practice Program at California College of the Arts present a media display as the culmination of their research and collaboration with inSite, a series of contemporary art projects in the San Diego-Tijuana region.
