E|MERGE Interdisciplinary Artists Residency, Plainfield, MA 2013
Tableau, Cinematika, Michael Pope
In February, 2013 I participated in the Emerge
Interdisciplinary Artists Residency program, working with
cinematographer Michael Pope and a team of 6 other
talented artists. The performance/ installation project was
developed, created, filmed and edited during the two week
residency, with a final presentation to the local community.
"It's Only a Dream", Contaminate 3, Midway Studios, Boston 2008
I occupied the raw space over the rafters in the 400 sq ft
section of the 10,000(+) sq ft Midway Studios, by altering
the space with audio/visual installation and drawing on
previous performance actions for a play on remembrance,
nostalgia and contemplation.
Organic materials were arranged into the space, colored
lights were used for shadow play, and several sound
recordings of people retelling their dreams were playing
through out the rafters, into the space below on the first
floor, and the balcony over looking the installation. Click

"The Black and White of It", Le Lieu, Quebec 2005
|
"The Black and White of It" took place at Le Centre En Art Actuel in Quebec City, Canada on April, 2005, as part of a student exchange between Boston and Quebec City. The piece was a response to the United States' invasion of Iraq, drawing from the ideas of Jaques Derrida who states, "Once there is the other, there is violence". Watch a 5 minute video below: |
