The Remains of Something Whole, 2011

The 2012 RISCA Fellowship Exhibition honoring this year’s recipients opens this Friday, Feb. 3rd from 5-8pm. We will be debuting our single-channel video, The Remains of Something Whole, which features the cast, crew, set and sound during the making of Rachel Jendrzejewski’s experimental text Meronymy, which was performed at the Pell Chafee Performance Center in 2011. The sound design is by Peter Bussigel. You can see the history of the development of this project here.

We are honored to have been selected for both a 2012 RISCA fellowship in New Genres as well as a RISCA project grant to fund our next work (which we’ll be filming in March — more on that later).

The Shape of Our Best Intentions, 2011

We will be debuting our new video installation, The Shape of Our Best Intentions, at the 2012 deCordova Biennial, which runs from January 23 to April 22. There’s no public opening, but there is a Members Preview Day that’s open to guests of the artists — all you have to do is give them our name at the gate. We’ll also be giving an artists’ talk on Saturday, March 10 at 2pm. Here’s a link to the full list of events for the exhibition. Hope to see you at one of them.

Artist Discussion: Artistic Collaboration

We’re pleased to announce that our current project, The Shape of Our Best Intentions (which was previously referred to under the working title Flying Room) will open as a video installation this January at the 2012 Biennial at the DeCordova Museum in Boston (Lincoln).

Our lead actors will step out into the water, grab the camera using the two handles, lift it up and out of the tray and place into a similar tray installed on a crane that will move away from the structure, while the structure is spinning.

Director of photography Kieran Delaney and his assistant John create some quick lighting tests.

This is moment we’ve been working towards: releasing the supports and seeing how the room hangs and moves. We were delighted to find out that it was surprisingly stiff and moved better than expected.
