These Creatures
Curated by Cindy Rehm
Wignall Museum of Contemporary Art
September 9 – November 23, 2019
Opening Reception: September 10 from 6 to 8pm
Works by: Johanna Braun, Virginia Broersma, Ursula Brookbank, Nancy Buchanan, Michelle Carla Handel, Carolina Hicks, Angie Jennings, Aubrey Ingmar Manson, Sarana Mehra, Heather Rasmussen, Jaklin Romine, Jinal Sangoi, Mariangeles Soto-Diaz, and Kandis Williams.
In 1979, Nancy Buchanan made These Creatures, a one minute anti-advertisement with a male voiceover that marvels at the daily machinations of women. Like an anthropologist broadcasting his observations of a primitive tribe, his ironic awe reveals a position of authority. Women are portrayed as “the other,” mysterious beings to always be approached with fear and suspicion. This mistrust of women persists through time and can be seen in the persecution of witches, the invention of hysteria, the ongoing fear of the “leaky” female body, and contemporary distaste for women’s ambition. Forty years after Buchanan made These Creatures, women are still grappling with issues around representation, equality, and autonomy.

7. Frank Moore, FF Alumn, removed from Vimeo.com now online at archive.org
After 8 years of active use of the video-sharing website, Vimeo.com, on August 21, 2019 Vimeo abruptly terminated shaman/performance artist Frank Moore’s account. With it, they removed over 700 of Moore’s videos, many of which are 2-3 hours long. Frank Moore’s account was terminated due to violations of Vimeo’s “guidelines”.
A quick look at Vimeo’s “guidelines” reveals this: “Of course, Vimeo respects creative expression above all else. That’s why we allow depictions of nudity and sexuality that serve a clear creative, artistic, aesthetic, or narrative purpose.” Up until recently, on the very few occasions that a single video of Frank Moore’s collection was removed for violation of Vimeo’s guidelines, Frank appealed to this respect for creative expression, citing his history and philosophy of art, and even sharing his essay, “EroArt Not Porn”. Up until recently, this was enough for Vimeo. But in the past few years, they have refused to reinstate videos they took down. And now this termination of Moore’s entire account.
As of August 21, 2019, an average of 10,000 people per day watched Moore’s videos on Vimeo.com. Since he started using Vimeo in 2011, his videos had over 33 million views.
The other casualty of Moore’s account being terminated was the Vimeo group that Frank created: Nude Performance Art Dance and Video – EROART. This was one of the largest groups on Vimeo with over 14,000 members. It was part of the collateral damage of Vimeo terminating Frank Moore’s account.
If anyone has any ideas of alternatives to host Frank Moore’s video collection, please let us know!

Arc of the Moral Universe: a notebook project in the Ottinger Room, Croton Free Library, 171 Cleveland, Croton on Hudson, NY, Sept. 4-Oct. 30, reception Sept. 8, 2-4, program Sept. 22, 2-3:30
“I do not pretend to understand the moral universe, the arc is a long one, my eye reaches but little ways. I cannot calculate the curve and complete the figure by the experience of sight; I can divine it by conscience. But from what I see I am sure it bends towards justice.”
Theodore Parker 1853 (quoted by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and President Barak Obama)
Artist, Carla Rae Johnson conceived of this creative, collaborative project involving bound notebooks following a series of national and international social/political events in 2016/17. In 2018, she invited artists, writers, as well as other creative and critical thinkers to join in this endeavor. Her invitation stated:
This is an opportunity to envision our future, the “arc of the moral universe,” and the fate of our planet by recording your ideas, your feelings, and your vision to share with others. The 2016 presidential election in the U.S. and other social/political events around the globe, have ushered in challenging times. Creative people are the ones to register these events and respond in hopeful, compassionate, and positive ways.
The fruits of this invitation are more than 65 notebooks filled with: drawings/sketches, writing, lyrics, photos, montages, fold-outs, and non-objective rt of color, line, texture, shapes, and shadings. Arc participants come from the Northeast, Midwest, South, and Southwest in the United States. Participants agreed to complete a 96 page notebook in one year (July 4, 2018- July 4, 2019), and could choose to fill their notebook by themselves, or to collaborate with others to fill one or both sides of the pages.
Contents include personal observations and opinions, visual ideas, political/social commentary, poetry,and stories: all generated to reflect upon the arc and its trajectory. The intention is to provide a format for consistent creative acts that will give viewers of the “Arc” an intimate look into contemporary creative minds and how they respond to our current times. The “Arc” documents one year in each of their emotional and intellectual lives.
A selection of 45 notebooks from “Arc of the Moral Universe” will be on exhibition at the OttingerRoom of the Croton Free Library in September/October 2019. This exhibition will generate visitor interaction via handling, exploring, and reading the notebooks. Carla Rae Johnson also sees it as an opportunity to create dialogue and exchange. Thus, at the opening reception, and, again, on September 22nd there will be “Readings and Conversations” that bring people together to talk about the “Arc,” and our current, local, national, and global social/political/environmental realities.
Arc participants with notebooks in this exhibition are:
Gabriel Adames, Karen B. Allen, Ori Alon, Inez Andrucyk, BOLDFACE, Jo-Ann Brody, Edward A. Burke, Angela Carrozza, Judy Collischan. Sarah Connors, Linda Cunningham, Kathy Daley, Karen Fitzgerald, Marcy B. Freedman, Wendie Garber, Bonnie Glauber, Pearl Rosen Golden, Nadine Gordon-Taylor, Susan Grabel, Ellen Hackl Fagan, Sarah Havilland. Hillary Hoffstatler, Carla Rae Johnson, Mary McFerran, G.

It’s Urgent!
August 31 – November 10, 2019
Alexander Gray Associates announces It’s Urgent!, including work by Lorraine O’Grady at Luma Westbau, Zurich, Switzerland. The exhibition is curated by Hans Ulrich Obrist.
Some of the world’s most acknowledged artists participate in the exhibition It’s Urgent!, which is displayed on advertising panels throughout Denmark during the spring election for the EU Parliament and the Danish Parliament.
It is no coincidence, because never has the artists’ voice been more necessary in the political debate than right now, Hans Ulrich Obrist explains: ‘If there was ever a time that the world needed artists, it is now. We need their radical ideas, visions, and perspectives in society’.
CORRECTION: the previous announcement for Lorraine O’Grady’s participation in It’s Urgent! at Luma Westbau, Zurich, included the press release for the first iteration (It’s Urgent! – Part I) which took place from June 8 – August 18, 2019. O’Grady’s work is included in the second iteration (It’s Urgent! – Part II), on view at Luma Westbau from August 31 – November 10, 2019

I am also co-curating this event:
“Backlot Festival” featuring TABLEAU VIVANTS, September 21st, 2-7pm.
Theater Development Fund (TDF), Kauffman Studios, Museum of the Moving Image.
TABLEAUX VIVANTS
“Tableaux Vivants” is a performative re-imagined fashion show, presenting costumed performers in various surreal situations. Tableaux Vivants, a French term meaning “living pictures,” are staged static scenarios that bridge theater and visual arts. Throughout the day, different Tableaux Vivants will form and reconfigure, layering narratives and symbolism. Performers toy with their roles as court jester, vixens, agent provocateurs working their glamour magic to evoke ideas of community, identity, family, safety, freedom from oppression, collective voice and celebration. By the day’s end, these revolving living pictures break out of frame, into a raucous procession, a people’s parade where performers and festival attendants are united in merrymaking. “Tableaux Vivants” draws from the Museum of the Moving Image’s collection of over 85, 000 costumes in the Theater Development Fund (TDF), many of which were donated by the Metropolitan Opera, Broadway Theater and cinema. TDF’s Costume Collection Rental Program offers costume rentals to film, television, digital media, art, dance, theatre, and cultural productions.
“Tableaux Vivants” is created by Co-Curators Jodie Lyn-Kee-Chow, Raxann Chin, Rebecca Goyette, and Alexis Karl. “Tableaux Vivants” will be presented as part of the Museum of the Moving Image’s Backlot Festival on September 21, 2019.

9.9., 18.30 Reception Drinks & Snack supported by Embassy Ireland
WHERE: galerie michaela stock, Schleifmühlgasse 18, 1040 Vienna
Helen Carey, Director of Fire Station Artists’ Studios / FSAS in Dublin was invited to curate the first edition of the performative exhibition series Capture Performance Focus / CPF in Vienna at galerie michaela stock in autumn 2019.
The project EMBODIMENT brings young Irish artists of the Fire Station Artists’ Studios to Vienna in collaboration with Austrian artists. The exhibition highlights an inter-cultural dialogue. The central enquiry of the exhibition is around being in the world, and the different ways people inhabit space both conceptual and temporal, manifesting cultural differences and similarities. Ideas explored include how contemporary art explores the shifting of what might be stable ideas for nationality, for gender and how history and experience makes meaning fluid.
With artists from Austria and Ireland, the exhibition project CPF including multimedia works such as performance art, drawing, photography and video, as well as talks, will take place over 8 weeks. The selected Irish artists are connected to Fire Station Artists’ Studios, which is one of Ireland’s largest and oldest studio institutions over the last 20 years.
In addition to the planned exhibition EMBODIMENT in the two gallery spaces and in the basement of galerie michaela stock, there will also be an interdisciplinary programme with lectures and workshops by art critics and art historians, including international commentators such as Andrej Mircev or Stef van Bellingen, to cite just a few.
An exhibition catalogue and a video with documentation and results will be presented in November in Vienna at Vienna Art Week (VAW) and at the end of November in Dublin at FSAS.

24. Chun Hua Catherine Dong, FF Alumn, at Momenta, Montreal, Quebec, Canada, opening Sept. 5
Chun Hua Catherine Dong, FF Alumns, at MOMENTA | Biennale de I’image, Montreal, CA. Sept 5 -Oct 13, 2019
Chun Hua Catherine Dong presents her work, MOTHER, at Galerie de I’ UQAM as part of MOMENTA | Biennale de I’image, Montreal, CA. Sept 5 -Oct 13, 2019.
Opening reception: Wednesday, September 5, 2019. 5:00pm -6:30pm
“Mother” consists of 14 photographs and a video dedicating to Dong’s absent mother. Absence is a form of presence. Since her mother passed away, she went back to China where she was born and found 14 mothers who are her mother’s close friends and relatives. She bought a pair of floral embroidered traditional Chinese shoes to each mother as a gift, because her mother always loved the floral embroidered shoes. They took photographs together at each mother’s home where the mother wore the new shoes and she wore her cloth. After taking photos with each mother, she invited all mothers to come together for a group portrait that was transformed to a video later.
This work seeks consolation and restores narrations of the past through visual expression of memories and loss, exploring relationship between life and death, human existence and universal emotions. She uses re-enactment as a method of revisiting and re-imagining past to create scenarios of her mother visiting her birth place and meeting her childhood friends. Through using her own body to present her mother’s present, she reunites with her mother and become her. This work reveals how the mother/daughter relationship is experienced as a site of love and care, and how memories cross time and space to create a new experience that not only transcends life and death, bridges past and present, but also transforms emotions and realities. “Mother” is an embodiment of a melancholic longing for an unrecoverable past and a memento mori: a reminder of the inexorable passage of time and the beautiful transience of human life.

27. Mira Schor, FF Alumn, at Hauser & Wirth, Manhattan, opening Sept. 10
Mira Schor, FF Alumn, Group Exhibition, ‘Personal Private Public,’
Opening Reception: September 10, 6-8pm Hauser & Wirth 22nd street NYC
Beginning 10 September, Hauser & Wirth will present ‘Personal Private Public,’ a group exhibition exploring the idea of the inner life in three main themes: introspection, intimacy, and voyeurism.
Contemplating the ways in which we reflect upon ourselves and others, the works on view oscillate in tone from moments of gentle privacy to voyeuristic intrusions, each addressing the power of observation through realms of their own making. The artists featured in ‘Personal Private Public’ are connected by an interest in probing the uneasy relationship between making and viewing images, often exploring timely themes of identity, sexuality, and fantasy.
This exhibition features works by artists Jonathan Lyndon Chase, Ivy Haldeman, Celia Hempton, Tala Madani, Paul McCarthy, B. Ingrid Olson, Mira Schor, Paul Mpagi Sepuya, Emily Mae Smith and Kohei Yoshiyuki.
