MIT LIST VISUAL ARTS CENTER LECTURE - March 3, 2008
Monday, March 3, 2008, 7 - 9 pm
ZONES OF EMERGENCY - Monday Night @ VAP lecture series
Networks, Tactics, Breakdown
Mark Tribe
MIT Visual Arts Program
Location: N51-337, (Joan Jonas Performance Hall)
Video blog: http://zonesofemergency.net
Mark Tribe will present a selection of projects, such as the Port Huron Project, that explore how tactical practices and public interventions use the internet and other networks as a means to instigate political discourse and public collaboration. This work addresses zones of emergency in a broad sense, raising issues related to the psychological condition of being politically oppressed. Mark Tribe will bring his view of participatory networks online and off and the potentials of these techno-cultural arrangements to produce social and political change.
Mark Tribe is an internationally renowned artist and curator whose interests include art, technology, and politics. He is the co-author, with Reena Jana, of "New Media Art" (Taschen, 2006). His art work has been exhibited at the ZKM Center for Art and Media in Karlsruhe, the Ars Electronica Festival in Linz, and Gigantic Art Space in New York City. He has organized curatorial projects for the New Museum of Contemporary Art, MASS MoCA, and inSite_05. As the founder of Rhizome.org (in 1996), an online resource for new media artists, he now chairs the Rhizome.org board of directors. Tribe received his MFA in Visual Art from the University of California, San Diego in 1994 and a BA in Visual Art from Brown University in 1990, where he currently serves as Assistant Professor of Modern Culture and Media Studies. The focus of his teaching is on digital art, curating, open-source culture, radical media, and surveillance. He splits his time between Providence and New York City.
Free and open to the public.

LOVE AND SEX GALLERY EXHIBITION - Feb 6 - Mar 8, 2008
“Love Anatomy“ Exhibition
Boston—January19h—2007 Gallery Anthony Curtis announces its upcoming exhibitions: “Love Anatomy “:
Love and sex: these are fundamentals that drive us, and, in a significant way, define us. Gallery Anthony Curtis is pleased to announce its upcoming exhibition: Love Anatomy. This collective show was curated to reflect perceptions of love and sex that are highly individual but also relate to and resonate with contemporary viewers.
The ensemble enlists works by a group of American and Canadian artists, including Johanne Cullen, Martin Douvil, Francois Escalmel, Heejung Kim, Marie-Josee Roy, Jerome Prieur and Douglas Prince. While a single gallery show cannot possibly encompass the full spectrum of the actions of love and sex and its wondrous and disastrous consequences, we have invited artists, who, based on their personal life experiences, dissect one or a few aspects of the love and sex within the context of human condition and identity and re-construct them for broad and even universal visual explorations. We strived to be inclusive by selecting artwork that encompasses both platonic and erotic domains, depicts moments that range from tender to volcanic, and covers themes that are heterosexual as well as homosexual by nature.
The media these artists employed are diverse, ranging from painting, sculpture, photograph to video installation. However, the works are unified under a realistic and hyper-realistic aesthetic which carries real-life emotions that are, sometimes explicit and quick-for-grasp but more often raw and ambiguous.
This exciting exhibition will be on view from February 6th to March 8th at Gallery Anthony Curtis, 186 South Street, Boston, MA 02111. An artists’ reception will be held February 8th from 5 to 8pm.
