Issue Project Room in conjunction with 23five Incorporated presents:
AREAL (2010)
A new work by ISSUE PROJECT ROOM Artist-in-Residence
Richard Garet
This upcoming presentation anticipates the publication of Richard Garet's Areal by 23Five Incorporated in early 2011. It is not only the first time that this composition is being presented but also the starting point for this performance installation. Garet will utilize fog to fill the Issue Project Room's performance area and an overhead projector will display colored light and activate the atmospheric space by changing over time color dynamics. The projector will be directing light to the floor creating a cone of light. The visitors will find themselves inside of the work actively listening and viewing. This piece will emphasize the experiential, the sensorial, and the active-reception of the body and mind.
Areal as a composition, is a work that focuses on surfaces, gestures, differences, and distances among material and its phenomenology. It focuses on activating and amplifying expressive sonic manifestations of electromagnetic waves utilizing radio technology. All sounds used to make this piece emerged from interacting with objects, exciters, and extended techniques to activate sounds within the perimeter of the working table space. The outcome emerged from physical modulations and from establishing relationships that simulate social and spatial interactivity in the form of conversation, where what is voiced out is the result of colliding effects that are vacuumed by electromagnetic receivers from within the atmosphere of the working area.
Richard Garet works interweaving multiple media including moving image, sound, live performances, and photography. He completed his MFA at Bard College, and was awarded a New York State Council on the Arts Grant in 2006. He currently has an artist residency at Issue Project Room, NY, and previously completed a residency at Taliesin West, Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture, Scottsdale, Arizona in 2006. Recent exhibitions and performances include: Never Can Say Goodbye at the former Tower Records store; Sonochrome: an exhibition of recent works by Richard Garet, at the Public Trust Gallery, Dallas, Texas; Leervoll, Diapason Gallery; and previous exhibitions at the Museum of Contemporary Art (MACBA), Barcelona, Spain; Biennial Museo de Arte de Puerto Rico, San Juan, Puerto Rico; el Museo del Barrio, NYC; and more. His sound compositions have been published through sound based labels such as And-Oar, Non Visual Objects, Winds Measure Recordings, Unframed Recordings, Con-V, Leerraum, White_Line Editions, and Contour Editions. Additionally Garet currently directs the independent media label Contour Editions publishing works that explore the various possibilities of sound and light. Garet also co-curates with Louky Keijsers Koning, the monthly performance event LMAKseries, which integrates film, video, sound art, and media performance into the gallery's mission at LMAK Projects in the L.E.S, NYC.
