Oscar Tuazon‘s sculptural works made in collaboration with artists and writers Ariana Reines, Matias Faldbakken, Elias Hansen, and Vito Acconci are now on view at the Bellevue Arts Museum—Tuazon’s first solo museum show in his native Washington State.

The exhibition—COLLABORATOR—also includes work in honor of Leonard Peltier, and “new sculptures and site-responsive interventions that respond, in part, to the porous, light-filled nature of architect Steven Holl‘s design” for the museum’s third floor galleries.*

INGA LĀCE AT LAXART

Leave a reply

Inga Lāce—a curator from Riga whose practice connects the art/historical with the social/political—will give a talk at LAXART this week and present AMERICA IS NOT READY FOR THIS, the artist Karol Radziszewski’s 2012 film that takes as its starting point the 1977 trip Natalia LL made to New York City.

“Radziszewski revives Natalia LL’s memories, confronting both Polish and Western narratives of art history and raising a series of questions on issues such as gender, feminist art, conceptual art, and queer and East-West relations and their impact on the art world in the context of the period of the Iron Curtain.

“The film is both a search for parallels between the artistic experiences of Natalia LL and Radziszewski, as well as an attempt to examine the rules governing the positioning of artists in the art world, both in the 1970s and today.”*

Included in the film are interviews with Carolee Schneemann, Vito Acconci, AA Bronson, Douglas Crimp, Antonio Homem, and Mario Montez.

CURATORIAL TALK AND FILM SCREENING WITH INGA LĀCE*

ACCONCI — TUAZON — VIOLETTE

Leave a reply

An exhibition at Migros revisiting works by Oscar Tuazon and Banks Violette will be up for two more weeks.

In addition to sculptures by the two artists, the show includes Tuazon’s two-track sound piece My Flesh to Your Bare Bones (2010), a dialog with Vito Acconci:

“Acconci drew up the text Antarctica of the Mind (2004) as a kind of utopian blueprint for the British research station Halley II in Antarctica; his proposal was never realized. The recording guides the listener in imagining a virtual place unconnected to any points of reference: ‘So think of this world as a white sheet of paper, a blank page,’ Acconci’s voice instructs the visitor before furnishing his virtual world with balloonlike structures made of light. Tuazon responds to the audio recording by combining it with his own voice in a simultaneous confrontation. Spoken in the perspective of a first-person narrator, his sentences transport the body to Acconci’s immaterial and featureless landscape and compete with it in a subjective and almost vulnerable manner.”*
