Exhibition Announcement

Exhibition URL: http://slippage.net
Exhibition dates: July 15 - August 31, 2006
Curator: Nanette Wylde

Slippage exists in the grey areas of language and social interaction. It is the realm of the in-between--the place of disjunction, expectations, covert meanderings, and the processes and residue of questioning minds. Sites selected for "Slippage" explore and expose relationships between intention, perception, control, experience, behavior, memory, knowing and the unexpected.

Artists include Mez Breeze; Krista Connerly; Juliet Davis; Lisa Hutton; Paula Levine; Jess Loseby, et al.; UBERMORGEN.COM; and Jody Zellen.

"Mez does for code poetry as jodi and Vuk Cosic have done for ASCII Art: Turning a great, but naively executed concept into something brilliant, paving the ground for a whole generation of digital artists." (Florian Cramer). The impact of her unique code/net.wurks [constructed via her pioneering net.language mezangelle] has been compared to Shakespeare, James Joyce, Emily Dickinson, and Larry Wall. Mez has exhibited extensively eg Wollongong World Women Online 1995, ISEA 1997 Chicago USA, ARS Electronica 1997, SIGGRAPH 1999 & 2000, _Under_Score_ @ The Brooklyn Music Academy USA 2001, +playengines+ Melbourne Australia 2003, p0es1s Berlin Germany 2004, Arte Nuevo InteractivA Yucatan Mexico 2005 + in Radical Software @ Turin Italy 2006. Her awards include the 2001 VIF Prize [Germany], the JavaMuseum Artist Of The Year 2001 [Germany], 2002 Newcastle New Media Poetry Prize [Australia], winner of the 2006 Site Specific Competition [Italy] + 2006 Artifical A.Gender Competition [Australia].

Krista Connerly's overarching work is the Project for Urban Intimacy, an online space that features projects and ideas for instigating intimate encounters and "border-crossing" within an urban environment. Connerly received her MFA from Carnegie Mellon University in 2001. Her work has been featured in a range of national and international venues, including the Women's International Film Festival in Sydney, Australia, the Los Angeles Center for Digital Art, the Contemporary Art Institute of Detroit, the New Museum's online art community Rhizome, The Urban Institute for Contemporary Art in Michigan, and the Next Wave Festival in Melbourne.

Juliet Davis (Assistant Professor of Communication, the University of Tampa, Florida) is an intermedia artist, writer, and researcher, teaching theory and practice in interactive media, visual culture, and media writing, with particular interest in cyberfeminism. Davis' writing appears in peer-reviewed journals such as Intelligent Agent and Media-N (Journal of the New Media Caucus), and among Rhizome Digest commissions. Her artwork, which is forthcoming in SIGGRAPH 2006, has exhibited in Institute of Contemporary Art (London), MAXXI Museum (Rome), Web Biennial (organized by the Istanbul Contemporary Art Museum), The International Museum of Women (web), D>Art (Sydney Opera House), The Tampa Museum of Art, FILE (Rio and Sao Paulo), the Iowa Review Web, and many other spaces.

Lisa Hutton is an independent San Diego based artist working primarily in new media. She received her MFA from the University of California San Diego. Recent exhibitions include Digital Visions and Prog:ME. Her work has been exhibited in diverse venues including the 5th and 7th New York Digital Salons, LA Freewaves at MOCA Los Angeles, the Downey Museum of Art in Downey, CA, the Walker Art Center's Beyond Interface, ISEA '97 Chicago, and Prix Ars Electronica, Linz, Austria. She has been getting along very well with computers since 1987 and is sometimes seen using rollerblades.

Paula Levine is a visual artist focusing on experimental narrative and new forms of narrative spaces. She comes from experimental documentary photography and video. Her research/art practice is in Locative Media -- Global Positioning System (GPS), wireless and remote devices. Recent work looks at hidden dynamics as a way to develop new understandings about the nature of place. Paula Levine is an Associate Professor of Art at San Francisco State University. She teaches in Conceptual/Information Arts (CIA), an area focusing on digital art and experimental technologies.

Jess Loseby is a digital artist from the UK. Her main "canvas" is the Internet but she also creates large interactive installations, video, mobile phone media, prints and performance. Her work is based around "the cyber-domestic aesthetic": scrutinising the small, the domestic and her ideas of "amplified reality". She was the first artist to undertake a totally virtual artist residency (with Furtherfield.org) and her awards include Daniel Langlois, Dino Villani International Prize (Premio Suzzara) and Arts Council England. She exhibits in galleries and festivals internationally and is an established artist-curator. Jess has an eccentric husband, 3 inspirational children and a pink wheelchair. She also lives in "the village" - just not that one.

UBERMORGEN.COM is an artist duo created in Vienna, Austria, by Lizvlx and Hans Bernhard, a founder of etoy. Behind UBERMORGEN.COM we can find one of the most unmatchable identities 'controversial and iconoclast 'of the contemporary European techno-fine-art avant-garde. Their open circuit of conceptual art, drawing, software art, pixel-painting, computer installations, net.art, sculpture and digital activism (media hacking) transforms their brand into a hybrid Gesamtkunstwerk. UBERMORGEN.COM?s work is unique not because of what they do but because how, when, where and why they do it. The computer and the network are (ab)used to create art and combine its multiple forms. The permanent amalgamation of fact and fiction points toward an extremely expanded concept of one?s working materials, that for UBERMORGEN.COM also include (international) rights, democracy and global communication (input-feedback loops). 'Ubermorgen' is the German word both for 'the day after tomorrow' or 'super-tomorrow'.

Jody Zellen is an artist living in Los Angeles, California who works in many media simultaneously making photographs, installations, net art, public art, as well as artists' books that explore the subject of the urban environment. She employs media-generated representations of contemporary and historic cities as raw material for aesthetic and social investigations. Solo exhibitions include Pace University's Digital gallery (2005); The Laguna Art Museum (2004-05); Susanne Vielmetter Los Angeles Projects (2002); Deep River, Los Angeles (2001). Her net art projects have shown world wide since 1997 in festivals and exhibitions such as Arte Nuevo Interactive, Mexico; ACCEA, Armenia; Prog:Me, Rio de Janeiro (2005); File, Brazil; Festival du Noveau Cinema, Montreal; Siggraph, Los Angeles; International Festival of Electronic Art, Argentina; Cosign, Croatia (2004); New Forms Festival, Vancouver; Recontres Internationales, Berlin (2003); Whitney Museum Artport (2002); XXV Bienal de Sao Paulo (2002); Art Future, Taiwan (2000); Net_Condition, ZKM (1999); Film + Arch.3, Graz (1997).
