The press release is an optimistic invitation that asks you to join the good vibes and the energy in motion “radiating within a space.” The work is described as ‘happy objects’ that are there to be touched, picked up and interacted with. 

In addition to the installation, Nastja Säde Rönkkö presented participatory performance sometimes forever on May 18, where visitors were asked to “exchange a memory or a story for a tattoo.”**

Shana Moulton performance @ SLG, Dec 10

10 December 2014
news

Shana Moulton brings a new, sold-out performance titled See me, feel me, touch me, heal me to South London Gallery today at 7pm.

The performance, developed in conjunction with Moulton’s recent video, Mindplace Thoughtstream, comes woven through some of the artist’s video works for a layered multimedia experience of the “anxiety and dreams associated with bio medical advance and alternative medicine”.

The Californian-born artist, whose background lies in Art and Anthropology, has made a lifelong project of her ongoing video/performance series, Whispering Pines, in which her alter ego, Cynthia, is healed by an “Avon lady/witch-healer”. Building on themes of self-healing and the “hysterics of personal improvement”, Moulton’s recent explores the gaps between the catharsis and cliché intrinsic to quests of self-improvement.

See the SLG event page for details. **

Shana Moulton + Sophie Jung @ Medienwerkstatt Wien, Nov 20 – Dec 8

19 November 2014
news

Artists Shana Moulton and Sophie Jung will be exhibiting DOUBLE at Vienna’s Medienwerkstatt from November 20 to December 8.

Medienwerkstatt’s experimental “Carte Blanche for Young Media Artists” is awarded to a different artist each year, and 2014 goes to artist duo Markus Hanakam and Roswitha Schuller and their “HOLO” and “PARA” exhibition formats.

For Medienwerkstatt’s third program, Hanakam and Schuller took on the role of curators and invited performance and video artist Moulton and media-performance artist Jung for a collaborative exhibition. The two artists diverse styles bleed into one another through the access points of fantasy and disassociation seen through Moulton’s New Age alter ego in her performance cycle, ‘Whispering Pines’, and Jung’s abandonment of self.

See the DOUBLE exhibition page for details. **

‘No one lives here’ @ RCA reviewed

No One Lives Here. Planetarity
21 March 2013
reviews

At the entrance of No one lives here, the latest exhibition by MA Curating students from the Royal College of Art, is a research display focused on the Pionen White Mountain Data Centre based near Stockholm, Sweden. Three-dimensional renderings, alongside a short film, show how unique this converted bunker space appears, juxtaposed as it is with plants, geometric glass offices and whirring computer servers. It’s everything a James Bond villain could wish for and as the architect Albert France-Lanord explains in an interview, deliberately so.  Its over-sized doors made to look secure, its sci-fi aesthetic designed to draw clients in closer to a vision of the future.
