Press release:

Opening Reception

Thursday, 8 May 2008:
08:00 pm - 11:00 pm

In “House as Speaking Organ/Casa como Organo Parlante,” New York-based artist Daniel Perlin transforms Mexico City’s Yautepec gallery into a house-as-speaking-organ (HSO). The unique layout of the space has inspired a series of site-specific pieces, in which Perlin will create networked works that treat the house as organ, works as cells and tissues, tissues as foundations for an organ, and organ as a political force within social bodies.

Individual works will be centered around networked and remote communication within the organ. Mini FM transceivers, fm radios, a single monitor with multiple keyboards for input, telegraphy, cables, internal telephony, cups and lines, and other works serve as conditions of possibility for bodies to work within and beyond the house, as sites as residues of potential communicative actions.

Daniel Perlin is an artist based in New York. He works across media creating sound, video, objects, performances and installations. His work has been shown and heard at the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, The New Museum, The Chelsea Art Museum, Postmaster’s Gallery, D’Amelio Terras, TN Probe Tokyo, Temporary Contemporary Gallery London, Guggenheim Film and the Centre Pompidou. Recently, he has collaborated with Natalie Jermijenko on the installation For the Birds for the Whitney Biennial 2006, Rem Koolhaas and Sanford Kwinter on the installation of Mutations, and with Vito Acconci on the public sound installation Viraphone in Madrid, Spain. He has also been a sound designer for such films as as Kelly Reichardt’s Old Joy, Errol Morris’ Fog Of War and Phil Morrison’s Junebug. In 2006 he completed a residency as studio artist at the Whitney Independent Study program. Currently, he is researching traffic and mapping techniques.

An audio only version of Viraphone is currently showing at the New Museum in New York as part of the Unmonumental show. Viraphone was originally installed in a bus stop in Madrid, Spain. Listeners were invited to plug in to the stop, which was affixed with an audio jack. The piece is programmatic, using the 5 stages of the infection of a cell by a virus as its structure.

STOREFRONT FILM SERIES 2007
O MORRO/THE HILL
ISSUES OF REPRESENTATION IN THE MODERN-DAY FAVELA

O Morro (The Hill) is a monthly film series that raises questions regarding representation of the favela in Brazilian film and architecture. Cinema’s fascination with the favela is often driven by genuine social concern for its inhabitants, but does it ultimately reinforce existing forms of exploitation and prejudice?

SCREENING III
7.30 PM on Tuesday, December 18, 2007 @ Anthology FIlm Archives

OMNIBUS 174 (Bus 174)
(Directors: José Padilha, Felipe Lacerda)

The film’s subject is the June 12, 2000, bus hijacking that happened in Rio de Janeiro. Sandro do Nascimento, a young man from a poor background, bungled a robbery and ended up holding the passengers on a bus hostage for four hours. The event was caught live on television. The movie examines the incident and what life is like in the slums and favelas of Rio de Janeiro, specifically how the criminal justice system in Brazil treats class.

admin — Tue, 23 Oct 2007 05:28:22 +0000

Tuesday, October 23rd is the first screening in the film series I am programming through The Storefront for Art and Architecture in conjunction with Anthology Film Archives.
O Morro (the hill): issues in representation of the favela.

O Morro (the hill) is a monthly series created to raise questions regarding representation of the favela in Brazilian film and architecture.
Is film and architecture’s fascination with the favela helpful, or does it ultimately result in repeating forms of exploitation and prejudice?

The first screening is this Tuesday, October 23 at 730 pm at Anthology Film Archives.
