Reminder! Don’t Worry What Happens Happens Mostly Without You
May 3, 2012Brooklyn MFA alum featured in:
DON’T WORRY WHAT HAPPENS HAPPENS MOSTLY WITHOUT YOU*
Exhibition dates May 4 – May 27, 2012
Opening Reception: May 4th 6 – 9PM
Featuring performance by Marni Kotak
Artists: Jeanie Choi, Camilo Godoy, Ted Kerr,
James Richards, Aldrin Valdez, Sam Vernon
Curated by Kris Nuzzi
"Don’t Worry" (2006), poster by James Richards.
Jeanie Choi, from the series, "Are You Here for the Sake of Togetherness?", 2012, Digital C-Print
Radiator Gallery presents "Don’t Worry What Happens Happens Mostly Without You", an exhibition that explores the personal identities of artists Jeanie Choi, Camilo Godoy, Ted Kerr, James Richards, Aldrin Valdez and Sam Vernon, as they navigate through a world shaped by experiences of marginalization, silencing and difference. Whether speaking from their own life, recreating a historical memory or representing an underrepresented community, their work explores poetic and subtle ways to communicate issues of immigration, race, queerness and desire. Together they reveal the connections and differences between these loaded social issues and invite the viewer to share in their intimate experiences.
Artist Jeanie Choi explores our longing to confess the unspeakable. Through a series of collaborations, her work mediates a language through gesture and silence by examining the relationships between the confessor and the unreciprocated other. Using photography, video and performance, the reiteration of symbols and mistranslations never reach a conclusion, but reassure us that we are all trying to broaden the possibilities of truth between us.
Camilo Godoy’s work is concerned with the politics of migration and citizenship in the U.S. by drawing upon the immigrant experience and playing upon narratives extracted from government documents. Through these intimate and powerful works, we hear their personal stories in deportation proceedings while addressing the quotidian struggles detained immigrants face in the U.S.
Ted Kerr’s piece "FOR MYSELF IN THE SCENE" is a poster installation comprised of 3 posters that are available for viewers to take. Through the work, Ted works to find himself amid socio-political-sexual anxieties produced in a time of ongoing AIDS, increased articulation of queer vs. LGBT politics, self-as-brand and digital culture. Using the poster, a format popularized during the AIDS crisis by Fierce Pussy, Gran Fury and General Idea, this work explores identity, activism and visual culture.
At the same time, James Richards’ poster "Don’t Worry" is inspired by a quote by Joseph Albers and is part of an ongoing project by James and artist Matt Keegan. He works with existing text, accessible images and footage from disparate sources that he then remixes and returns back into the world.
Aldrin Valdez tells his story through an installation that is a personal mix of collage and family photos, piecing together memories of his childhood. He presents images of being a child in the Philippines, photos of his parents in the U.S. when he and his siblings had not immigrated to America yet, and collages that explore patterns and surfaces.
Exploring identity and memory, Sam Vernon creates fictional characters that symbolize parts of her culture while blending aspects of neo-futurism with stereotypes, images, spirits and ghosts. Her work takes the form of drawing, painting, installation, photography and printmaking to pay homage to the past, while addressing questions of postcoloniality, racialization, sexuality and historical memory. Her work reminds us that our ghosts and past histories always remain with us and at times are unsettling and challenge us to remember.
The exhibition is on view from May 4th to May 27th 2012. The opening reception will feature a performance by Marni Kotak. In conjunction with the exhibition, on Sunday, May 20th, there will be an event on deportation titled "Retracing I.C.E.", organized by artist Camilo Godoy. On Sunday, May 27th, there will be a salon organized by Ted Kerr and Kris Nuzzi titled "I am not alone in this way", featuring live performances that invite viewers to consider how our most intimate ways of being-striving and surviving, often in a hostile world-can be viewed as responsible for positive social change.
Kris Nuzzi is a Brooklyn based independent curator and currently works as an art advisor. She received her BA in art history from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn and her MA in the art market from the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York, where her focus was site-specific installation art. She is the 2011-2012 recipient of the Lori Ledis Curatorial Fellowship, where she had the opportunity to curate the exhibition "Figured" as well as organize the public program "Embody" at the BRIC Rotunda Gallery. She is a former intern and continued supporter and volunteer for Visual AIDS, using art to fight AIDS through initiating dialogue and supporting HIV+ artists to remind us that AIDS is not over.

Announcing the Art History Student Video Project
April 23, 2012I am so pleased to tell you about an exciting
campaign we are undertaking to get art history majors involved in creating
short videos of "key" or "iconic" works of art overseas and in the United
States for possible publication in our eTexts and in our websites. Our goal
is to receive 100 short, "you are there" videos (2-3 minutes each) by the
end of the summer. All participating students are entered in a raffle to
win an iPad and will receive a 30% off discount to the Pearson store.
Students whose submissions are accepted for publication receive an
honorarium of $25 per video clip and publication credit. We have two
students working in Italy right now and would love to get more students
working throughout the globe. Click here to see two samples:
