Announcing the next CATALOGUE: Saturday, February 26, Kevjn Kelly, Iconoclasm

56 Arbor Street, Hartford, CT 06106
Suite # forthcoming / 8:00 PM

This event is a video installation based on the painting The Swing and, though video is finite, Kevjn's wraps around itself and makes me think of a spirograph, which makes finite images too, however infinite and true the splatters of color, information, interpretations, definitions, explanations, and patterns seem to be. It's a relief that we can enter Kevjn's installation from any perspective (though, to be clear, there's only one door into the space. It's a regular door). Kevjn is an experimental director and inquisitive artist - come see what he's doing, interpret what he's doing. There will also be drinks in the space, to drink, and things to read and people to meet. This is a CATALOGUE event - we are very very ready to get 2011 underway.

CATALOGUE is a venue for events, a network for artists, and a workshop for ideas. It is a collaboration between artist, curator, community, and space. It is created and maintained by Joe Saphire and Nick Rice.

Part of New Media Curious Experimental Moving Images Festival

Media artist Gene Gort and composer/sound artist Ken Steen of New Media New Music New England bring us an audience participatory experiment in audio and video called What If? 60x60x60. The project uses 60 video clips and 60 sound compositions that are 60 seconds in duration each. Contributors of the clips were selected from a call to New England mediamakers. During the event, audience members select one number each from a video and audio designated list.
These selections will determine the evening's program of 60 works, resulting in a 60 minute screening. What If? 60x60x60 investigates the serendipitous relationship of sound and moving image in terms of coincidence, shifting context and potential meanings that result. Participating artists include Bebe Beard, Halsey Burgund, Gene Gort, Eva Lee, Sara Rushford, Ken Steen and others. Gort, Steen, and others will discuss the project following the screening.

On Saturday, March 27th at 8:00 PM thy will feature the work of Brendan Mahoney.

Brendan Mahoney is a soup-eater, a daily morning one, and this practice is done alone, in the morning, in the kitchen, before work, one hit of Romen per day. Brendan is a craftsman of soup, a proud cook, and lover of those noodles that you can't get anywhere else. The broth packets, however, he has retained and must now purge. With us, Brendan shares this cleansing. He will be cooking soup all night, a bowl at a time, and maybe you'll get one if you ask him. Don't know. This is a celebration. This celebration will include soup, hot-plates, Brendan, soundscapes, boiling broth, maybe video feeds? Love those.

Brendan is a Hartford warrior, writer of referenda and avid bike-man who works for the city. CATALOGUEs for Nick Rice's February show, as well as other previous shows, will be available on Saturday the 27th.
