Incidental Antimonies:The Waltz
Video / 3' 45”(continuous loop)/ 2004

My work focuses on the dissection of instances and moments that are often overlooked, but are an important part of the infrastructure of our perception. Using technology as an instrument for reinterpreting the perceptual experience, the projects represent realism with, subtle yet, displacing juxtapositions. Ideas of memory, reconnection, detachment and isolation are used as emotional vehicles to re-examine familiar environments. Environments that often employ the American landscape and urban/suburban motifs to investigate surroundings and architecture as a surrogate for the self and its absent body.

In my most recent work, I am beginning to explore the intersection of creative disciplines through installation and using architecture/urban environments as the vehicle/subject for other work in photography, video and sculpture. I have been continuously thinking about extending beyond traditional form by combining these various technology and media to create something evolved and different. The new work is actually creating these relationships within a fictional, sculptural environment.

Mudhole
C-print / 30"× 40" /2005
Julie Lara Kahn creates participatory artwork that crosses boundaries among visual art, performance, social engineering and mass marketing. Her productions involve covert and overt audience interaction not only to focus on interpersonal dynamics, social criticism and the extraordinary side of ordinary life, but also to nurture community through participation. Kahn received her BA and MBA from Harvard. She has worked as a DJ in Japan , an investment banker at Morgan Stanley, an A&R administrator at Columbia Records, and a producer for Annie Leibovitz. She draws on these corporate experiences to raise questions about how marketing and consumption impact community and identity.

Addicted
Light string / 1m 20 / 2005

Jeanne Susplugas has gained renown through her works presenting medicine through photographs, objects or installations. Sensitized from childhood by the world around her (a family of pharmacists), but also by illness poisoning), the appearance of drugs in her work is not fortuitous.

Seduction or danger, addiction or necessity, Susplugas pays homage to our hypochondriac society. A society whose days are punctuated by medicine, ranging from the simplest dietary supplement to intensive treatments for the century's various great diseases. A society that would like to have another body, permanently subject to prescriptions,

hypochondriac of information and objects, ever more bulimic of elements and ephemera.

Addiction. A contemporary violence.
