Introducing New AIR Artist, Maura Jasper 7/07 - 9/07

2007-07-16T08:33:00.000-07:00

On Tuesday, July 17th,
it will be our pleasure to introduce you to the second AIR Artist of 2007:

Maura Jasper

Tuesday July 17th
7:30 pm @ the Berwick
14 Palmer St.
Dudley Sq. Roxbury

Please join us to meet Maura, learn about her past in Punk Rock Aerobics, and discuss her new project, Weather You Remember, a collection of video "weather reports" delivered by senior citizens as they recall and comment on weather for the location they most identify as "home". Relying only on personal experience and memory, participants in this project are asked to consider the cultural, climate, economic and other changes they have witnessed as indicators of present and future conditions.

Maura will also be presenting for Upgrade! Boston @ Studio Soto
Thursday July 19th
7-9 pm

http://turbulence.org/upgrade/archives/07_19_07VideoSharing.htm

Upgrade! Boston is a monthly gathering of artists, curators and the public that fosters dialogue and creates opportunities for collaboration within the new media community. Each meeting consists of one or two hour-long presentations interspersed with questions and comments from the audience. The events are informal and free. Founded by Turbulence.org in January 2005, Upgrade! Boston continues to grow as a local node within the global Upgrade! International (UI) network. It participated in the first UI gathering at Eyebeam, NYC in September 2005, and contributed artwork, a workshop, and two talks to the 2006 gathering in Oklahoma City.

Maura Jasper is a conceptual multimedia artist whose work investigates how pop cultures and histories shape and inform identity. She has exhibited and screened work widely in the United States and overseas, including at Artist's Space, Threadwaxing Space, the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston, and the Centre for Contemporary Images in Geneva. She is probably best known for her work as a co-founder of Punk Rock Aerobics, the DIY workout. Currently she is a graduate student at Massachusetts College of Art's Studio for Interrelated Media.

Tag & Release II

2007-07-02T12:07:00.000-07:00

Tag & Release II (June 28th,) was as hot as Tag & Release I was cold. It has not been our intention to schedule these for extreme weather, but it seems to add something to the process, so perhaps we will take this into account when planning for Tag & Release III...

This was a larger (25-30 people or so, no?) and slightly more serious (not a value judgment, just an observation!) group than in February. It was an art-community think-sauna this time rather than a pornographic luddite-multimedia circus.

Projects presented were 100 Percents: An elaborate pyramid scheme by which art could be made, funded, and remade by local artists. A grant dedicated to funding (mostly likely digital) work that would ultimately belong to the public domain; created of small donations from members of the local arts community; administered relatively collaboratively by the donor base to applicants from roughly the same community. Outcome of discussion includes some refinement of the plan, some suggestions about how to administrate it, the possibility of the Berwick serving as a fiscal agent once the idea is slightly more developed. If you want to be involved in Ben's pyramid scheme for art read more about it on Lemming Trail.

Bumpkin Colony: A swath of campsites have been reserved on one of the Harbor Islands (Bumpkin) for Labor Day Weekend. Colonize the island with art, artists, and art installations! Carolyn and Megan are looking for applicants for the spots--proposals for what would be done with them--and wanted Tag & Release to help them think about criteria for the work/events that would be good limitation for the environment. Of course they were also inviting us all to come along too. Outcome of discussion were a few very good and basic constrictions that seemed likely to generate interesting proposals. If you want to colonize Bumpkin or to be informed about the dates, contact Megan at Berwickinstitute.org.

YUM: Susan signed up saying that she was going to teach us how to break social ice instantly, but she lied. Instead, she had us pair up, each holding an item of foodstuff (thanks Megan, Deb, Heather, Carolyn!), and discuss various questions about where food comes from and what it means to us while eating them. Then she told us about a part of the Berwick's Meet Me At The Table Project that will be taking place in Union Square, Somerville later this year called YUM. It's a public art research project focused on food that is native (ah, but what does native mean here?) to Union Square. Click here to find out more about YUM, or to participate in Meet Me At The Table.

Please Take Notice: Jasmine, in true Tag & Release form, brought an art project with her that she had started and was hoping we would all finish. It arose a few years ago after she lost someone she loved, and wanted to remind herself to stop and take notice of the world around her. She created dozens and dozens of labels with the phrase "Please Take Notice" printed on them in variety of fonts and sizes with different associations, and stuck them up wherever she felt notice should or could be taken. She still has dozens and dozens left, so she handed them out for the rest of us to distribute throughout reality. If you want to help finish, or rather continue Jasmine's project, you can either stop and take notice whenever you see one of the stickers or print your own labels and stick them where they should be stuck.

Artists At Large: Tommey, director of Artists at Large Inc in Hyde Park, wants to know if people know about the Hyde Park arts community. He asks us all to fill out a survey, and invites suggestions about how he can better promote what he's doing to the world outside of Hyde Park, and also how to better diversify his audience. His goal is to make art more accessible to people. He's doing great, community-building stuff, and you should go to his site and gallery and learn more about it.

In addition to the presentations, there was elaborate discussion about themes that that each project raised. Since things ran long and it was oppressively hot, we shelved the special educational segments for another T&R. We did manage to produce one collective project onsite though: a (slightly alcoholic!) compost pile that will be added to by other artists and will eventually feed the food growing in Susan's garden...

Next MMT Dinner Events Announced!

2007-06-22T20:24:00.000-07:00

Meet Me At The Table is pleased to announce that its next two dinner conversations are in the works! The next dinner, which is scheduled for Friday July 13th and hosted at Art Interactive, will bring together people who are using technology and new media to push the notions of public and community access within their specific disciplines or fields.

The evening's chef, Neil Colleta, and artist, AIR Resident-in-the-Making Matthew Shanley, are collaborating with the intent to challenge the format of the dinner party, while still encouraging a delicious dining experience!

Then, on September 22nd, Meet Me At The Table will collaborate with the good folks at Union Square Main Streets and Union Square Farmers Market on Project YUM!, a celebration of food and collaborative art making as part the ArtsUnion Summer Series. More information to follow on that one later this month!

To learn more about both events, and to find out how you can join us "at the table," please fill out the short registration form on the Meet Me At The Table page.

Meet Me at the Table in Big Red and Shiny!

2007-04-30T04:00:00.000-07:00

The first Meet Me at the Table dinner was written up in last week's issue of Big Red and Shiny, courtesy of embedded reporter and editor of BRS, Mr. Matt Nash.

This dinner, held April 13th at Jill Slosberg Ackerman's work space at Brickbottom Studios in Somerville, featured an interactive and experiential art piece by Sarah King McKeon and Hannah Burr. They also prepared the six (!) course meal, enjoyed by twelve local artists, arts administrators, and interested parties.

More information about, and reflections on, this event can be found here and in the forums on our website. The next dinner conversation will be on Friday May 25th at Art Interactive in Cambridge.

Public, Meet Jon Taylor

2007-04-10T07:04:00.000-07:00

Tuesday April 17th
7:30 p.m. @ The Berwick
14 Palmer St
Dudley Sq. Roxbury

Multi-media artist Jon Taylor is embarking on a series of social experiments that will explore the commodification of the human body as related to modern man's treatment of the landscape. He will create sculptural performances that augment and exaggerate oddities of human behavior. His work will be documented through video and photography and be presented with frequent updates on the Berwick website.

At the opening on April 17th Jon will present a limited time only real estate opportunity inviting the public to lease and develop portions of his head!!

Artist Jon Taylor constructs humorous situations that critique disturbing human habits. He utilizes aspects of sculpture, performance, photography, video, and drawings, to talk about basic, universal needs such as food, shelter, and companionship. Through this light-hearted approach, he seeks to expose selected absurdities of modern life and explore new modes of existence.

Currently in the middle of a stretch of residencies, he has been to Jentel, Wyoming, Vermont Studio Center, The Berwick Research Institute, and upcoming at The Bemis Center in Omaha, NE and Sculpture Space in Utica, NY. His work will be exhibited this fall at the New Bedford art Museum.

Jon Taylor was born in New Jersey. He received a BFA from Alfred University and an MFA from UMass Dartmouth. He resides in New Bedford, Massachusetts.

(more) Tag & Release I

2007-04-08T12:56:00.000-07:00

As promised, we're finally delivering some video documentation of the weirdness that was Tag & Release I.

The exact date and location of Tag & Release II is still being heavily debated, but we recommend that you keep your Thursday nights in the second 1/2 of May loosely scheduled. We'll post more details here soon, but expect a special new feature at the next T & R that will increase the size of your brain. View MP4.

Liz Nofziger and Big Red & Shiny in Chicago!

2007-03-26T19:15:00.000-07:00

"CORE" is on view through April 20 at The Glass Curtain Gallery at Columbia College, Chicago.

"In many ways, Core is a breakthrough show for Nofziger. The Glass Curtain Gallery has been providing her with more support than she’s ever gotten for any previous shows and much more support than she expected. Core is entirely carpentry dependent and Columbia College has provided a team of not only students devoted to the gallery, but a staff of preparators who have helped Nofziger build a meticulous installation that has fundamentally transformed the 2200 square foot layout of the space (incidentally the same size as the Boston Center for the Arts’s Mills Gallery). Nofziger isn’t a neophyte in the art world—she has been showing work for a decade now—however, after she moved to Boston from her native Kentucky in 2002 to begin an MFA at MassArt (2004), her career began to change scale.

After several well received solo shows over the last two and a half years following her graduation from MassArt, (her C.V. lists 10, including her thesis show, up to the present) Nofziger sought to be an Artist in Research (AIR) at the Berwick Research Institute. She spent her time in AIR program planning for her show at the Glass Curtain Gallery, essentially in an R&D phase of the project, and unlike all other AIR’s, had no work to show at the end of her spell at the Berwick. She hoped to extrapolate from her research at the Berwick an installation at The Glass Curtain, and completed the AIR program essentially with a set of architectural plans...

Announcing The 2007 AIR Artists!

2007-03-12T10:01:00.001-07:00

After a year of learning the ropes, Rosie Branson Gill and Bonnie Bastien have taken the reins at the AIR Program. The artists have been chosen and the 2007 season is ready to get underway.

Here is the line-up for 2007!
April-June

Jon Taylor is interested in exploring clothing as an adaptive interface to the outside world. His work is a witty commentary on social norms, and especially those of blind consumerism. Taylor often creates characters who he outfits with clothing or structures that are an augmentation of the body and blend aspects of fashion, packaging and architecture. He then documents the character in situations that parody real events, highlighting and exaggerating the oddities of human behavior. At the Berwick he will be working towards a performance of a character he will create during his residency.

July-August

Maura Jasper wonders how the elderly experience our world of rapid change. Uncomfortable with these changes herself, she began to notice that in our culture of technology and youth, the elderly are often invisible, or barely present. Using technology and weather as her focus points, Jasper will use her Berwick residency to further develop "Weather You Remember", an online collection of weather reports delivered by senior citizens, as they recall and comment on the weather of their homes. This portraiture project attempts to capture and preserve moments and memories of a world we may or may not still inhabit.

September-November

Matthew Shanley wants us to get our hands dirty in the numbers! He will use his Berwick residency to develop "Our Knowledge Mashups", a tool for organizing and displaying data that combines numerical information from different sources and create an elegant visual display of the results. What relationships are hidden in numbers? Shanley believes there are many and that exploratory combinations of previously unmixed fields allow for the possibility to be inspired.

It's a benefit for the Berwick Research Institute!
Thursday, December 28, 2006

Enormous Room
567 Massachusetts Ave.
Cambridge, MA 02139
Doors at 9pm, $7, 21+

We're starting the night off with the sometimes soothing sounds of Can't (aka Jessica Rylan, former Artist in Research). She'll be taking a break from her machines and playing some old and new songs on guitar, accompanied with her own unadulterated singing -- quite a rare treat!

We'll also be getting down to the noise from the boys of the illustrious 440 Compound as they cut and mix some scorchy dance music and possibly take off their shirts. Just kidding about the shirts! Well, mostly...

Did I mention that all proceeds benefit the edgy artists and Boston-area awesome-making at the Berwick?

See you there!

AIR Artist Liz Nofziger¹s Artist Talk!
Tuesday October 17th, 7:30 PM

Berwick Research Institute
20 Palmer Street
Dudley Square, Roxbury.

Liz Nofziger will present past work as well as her new project for her stay with the Berwick. During her residency, Nofziger will be working toward a new large-scale site-specific installation for Columbia College's Glass Curtain Gallery in March 2007. Designed by William Le Baron Jenney (widely considered to be the "father of
the skyscraper"), the Ludington Building (1890-91) is the city's earliest-surviving, steel-frame building.

With the Berwick, Nofziger aims to thoroughly examine, document, develop,
and challenge her process of working site-specifically, with this exhibition
as the outcome. Since a first site-visit in June, she has been compiling
information on Jenney and the space itself, considering its various
histories within the context of current events, and thinking about the
viewer's experience within the space. By compiling an in-depth documentation
of the development of a large-scale site-specific work Nofziger will create
an important experimental trace element. It will serve as a type of evidence
that reveals and solidifies the sometimes circuitous, and often invisible,
paths of investigation and planning.

Please visit www.nofzilla.com for more on her previous work.

BRI Presents Pam Larsen at Second Gallery

2006-08-18T09:51:00.000-07:00

The Berwick Research Institute
brings the work of Pam Larson to Second Gallery
August 12 – September 2, 2006

Closing Reception, Saturday September 2, 2006 6- 9 pm

Special August gallery hours are Friday through Sunday, 12 to 6 pm.

The Distillery. 516 East 2nd Street, South Boston MA
Visit www.secondgallery.org for press release and more info.

Pam Larson’s work is mediation on nature and the ways in which technology, including photography and video, can alter the natural subject. Images of nature and wildlife are shaped by the technology that captures them
- by the type of lens used, how the camera can zoom in or magnify a subject, by what is included and what is left out of the frame. The perspective of the video maker continues this manipulation, their choices in subject matter, editing and soundtrack.

Artist in Research: Pam Larsen

Veronique d'Entremont, Thursday 7/20

2006-07-19T13:36:00.000-07:00

Veronique d'Entremont Artist Talk
Thursday, 7 PM

BRI Studios
18 Palmer St, Roxbury
directions

Veronique d’Entremont is currently developing a body of work called “Comfort Zone” that explores disability; the emotions that surround personal disability and social reactions toward perceived disability. She creates sculptural garments that one can enter into, both emotionally and physically. It is an experiment in affecting the wearer; evoking an emotional experience in him or her while causing those around the wearer to behave in a way that facilitates this experience. With the Berwick, she will be exploring communication disabilities through interactive sculptural objects.

Hope to see you!

The Berwick sponsors AND recommends AND enjoys Bitter Melon - May 7

2006-04-26T07:34:00.000-07:00

Come celebrate the nutritional, culinary, and creative possibilities of Bitter Melon with the National Bitter Melon Council on Sunday, May 7, in Cambridge.

Goya Honoring Day, originating in Okinawa, Japan, is a special day to recognize Bitter Melon as a featured product of that tropical island (“Goya” is the term for Bitter Melon in Okinawa dialect.) In Japan, Goya Day is celebrated on May 8th because the Japanese pronunciation of the date “May” and “8” sounds the same as “Go-Ya”. Because of the time difference between Boston and Japan our celebration will occur on May 7th, which is actually May 8th in Okinawa.

Bitter Melon Honoring Day Highlights include:

Friday, May 5, 7 – 9:00 PM: Bitterware Party: Sweet Stories, Bitter Flavors
Hosted by Lisa Davis and Janice Sutton

Start the weekend off at the Bitterware Party, hosted by Midwest regional Bitter Melon ambassador and NBMC board member Janice Sutton. The evening will include Bitter Melon hors d’oeuvres, tea, and conversation about the emotional and physical health benefits of Bitter Melon.

Sunday, May 7 Bitter Melon Honoring Day

Join the staff, board and friends of the NBMC for it Annual Meeting, where
we will celebrate our past year¹s accomplishments and give a taste of the
exciting events to come in the summer of 2006.

5:30 – 9:00 PM: Goya Celebration Banquet
Gather for an evening of food, drink, and song to celebrate Goya Honoring Day. The banquet will include 10 different courses of Bitter Melon, from drinks to soup to a dessert and aperitif! *Space is limited! Contact the NBMC to reserve a seat at the banquet table info@bittermelon.org

Goya Honoring Day is hosted by Spurse and the Cambridge Arts Council as part of The Public Table, a provisional restaurant of The Collective for the Finding of the Commons, a project of the CAC initiative Public Art/Moving Site.

The Berwick Announces 2006 PAI Resident John Ewing

2006-04-20T10:32:00.000-07:00

The Berwick Research Institute is excited to announce John Ewing as the 2006
recipient of the Public Art Incubator Residency

From May through August, artist John Ewing will embark on the development of Virtual Street Corners, a project that will use video conferencing technology to explore the city of Boston and the various boundaries its residents navigate physical, social, and psychological. By using cameras, microphones, and large-scale video displays to create reconstructed street corners around Boston, the project will offer residents and passers-by portals of sight and sound between disparate neighborhoods and across social and geographical lines. Ewing plans to use the residency period to develop the video portal devices, connect with residents and community members in potential installation sites, and explore ways to use the technology as a tool for interactivity and dialogue.

John Ewing is a digital media artist and muralist who creates public art with an emphasis on community participation and social justice. He spent two years in El Salvador with an international development organization, using the arts to organize and inspire dialogue about human rights. Other work includes projects in Nicaragua, Uruguay and Cuba, as well as various cities in the U.S. Local projects include Symphony of a City, which portrayed Boston from 8 different perspectives by installing "headcams" on residents and projecting the resulting video footage on city hall and streaming it on the web www.symphonyofacity.org.

Currently he is an MFA candidate at Rhode Island School of Design and directs HUMAN, a Juvenile Rights Advocacy Project in Dorchester that teaches art to incarcerated girls.

Welcome John!

ACTION-ROMANCE-DEADLY LIZARDS-MEXICAN JUMPING BEANS-&-THE KKK

In Big Stakes, J.B. Warner stars as a Texas gentleman who falls for a Mexican girl and tries to win her from a dashing rival the Mexican General, in a contest involving Mexican jumping beans. When his new love rejects him, he returns home just in time to save his blonde hometown girl from a Ku Klux Klan leader who questions her "purity."

The film's somewhat liberal attitude toward race is in stark contrast to D.W. Griffiths A Birth of a Nation, 1920, and the exciting climax could have been intended as a subtle criticism of Griffith's landmark epic. This movie is filled with action, romance, humor, and many other staples of early Western’s; i.e. bar fights, horse chases, and shoot outs.

AIR Artist Kelly Sherman Investigates
Wedding Seating Arrangements:
Manifestations of (Dis)harmony

What: Artist Talk
When: Wednesday, April 12 7:00
Where: The Berwick Studios, 14 Palmer Street Roxbury

Kelly Sherman’s social research projects break down poetic, nostalgic and romantic actions to their elemental components: a love letter becomes an exercise in sentence construction; hopeful wish lists, specimens for calculated examination. During her AIR residency, Sherman will analyze how complex family relationships are confronted and mediated via seating arrangements. Using weddings as her venue, she will further challenge her interest in how an issue so practical in nature can both produce and assuage emotional tension and conflict.
