“No Return”

No Return Rutherford Chang, Peggy Diggs, Jed Ela, Rainer Ganahl, Lan Tuazon, Pawel Wojtasik Reception: Friday, September 10, 6-9 PM Exhibition Dates: September 10 through October 18, 2004 Gallery Hours: Friday through Monday, 12-6 PM Momenta Art opens its season with a group show evocative of an unseen world – a world of capital exchange, of currency, information, and waste. By making visible these unseen systems, No Return challenges and presents alternatives to the forces that shape our lives. Rutherford Chang’s compulsive reconstructions of the New York Times renders the newspaper’s political vocabulary into abstraction. The artist makes few choices regarding meaning or aesthetics beyond following a deliberate, often repetitive and labor-intensive process, displacing text and images from one realm of discourse into another. Peggy Diggs stamps currency with questions regarding the nature of wealth and poverty. The questions were developed after speaking with poor people in Greensboro, NC. From these conversations, the artist devised a series of questions aimed principally at the wealthy. These include: In what ways has money hurt you? What do you think is gained in poverty and lost through wealth? Do you feel the need to be paid for everything you do? These questions were stamped onto the edges of all bills that passed through her wallet over a period of four months. Jed Ela uses currency as his medium, weaving together one-dollar bills into objects: ladders, baskets, etc. He then offers these objects for sale at the value of the currency, requiring that buyers also agree never to resell them for a greater value. This agreement displaces the artistic status of these pieces, forcing them to remain as representations of economic capital. In the period of several months preceding the exhibition, Rainer Ganahl sent over 100 postcards to the gallery. The artist made his own postage stamps which he used to post the cards. Carrying the words, “Al Qaeda”, “Afghanistan,” and others, these stamps passed undetected through the US postal service, and most arrived at the gallery. With the Twin Towers printed on the image side and printed messages like, “Freedom Fries” and “Why Do They Hate Us” on the other, this project engaged with the political aftermath of the September 11th attacks, probing the very systems that represent security. Lan Tuazon’s “Promissory Notes” is an artist-made currency project that provides a medium for trade, barter, and gift-giving. Tuazon distributes packets of her bills and obtains the written promise of their recipients to follow a proscribed method of continued distribution. In this project, art becomes money, bypassing the commodification of art in a way that is simultaneously crass and liberating. Pawel Wojtasik’s ten minute video, Dark Sun Squeeze, presents the steady churning of a sewage treatment plant. As the end-point of the food chain, this video presents the bottom-line of all human economies and the complex technology we have had to develop to both cope with and hide this basic human reality. Dark Sun Squeeze uses light, movement and repetition to transform feces, a commodity with negative value, into something beautiful, processed for consumption. Rutherford Chang received a BA from Wesleyan University in psychology in 2002. Recent exhibitions include Global Priority, Jamaica Arts Center, Jamaica, NY, and AIM 23, Bronx Museum of Art, Bronx, NY. Peggy Diggs received an MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art in 1975. Her work has been exhibited extensively throughout the United States. Recent projects include Do Not Sleep, a digital mural with teens presented at the Eagles’ Stadium, Philadelphia, PA, in 2003, and Finding Home, a banner project presented at a homeless women’s shelter in Chicago. Jed Ela received a BA in studio art from Wesleyan University and Master of Science in Visual Studies from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2003. Rainer Ganahl attended the Whitney Museum Independent Study Program, New York, in 1990-1991 and is a Master of Philosophy and History, University of Innsbruck. Recent exhibitions include The Wallach Art Gallery, Columbia University Museum, New York , Museum of Modern Art, MUMOK, Vienna, Baumgartner Gallery, New York and Market Value, Cuchifritos, New York. Lan Tuazon attended the Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art, received an MFA from Yale University, and attended the Whitney Museum
Independent Study Program. Her work was recently included in the exhibition “Mirror” presented by the
Lower Manhattan Cultural Council. Pawel Wojtasik received an MFA from Yale University in 1996. He has exhibited at Artists Space, New York, the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, New York, and the National Museum, Minsk, Belarus. Momenta Art is a not-for-profit exhibition space. Our mission is to promote the work of emerging artists through two person shows, allowing artists separate project rooms and the distinct opportunity to present a substantial body of work. For most of these artists, this is their first opportunity to exhibit in New York outside of a group show. For each exhibition we publish a newsletter which lists other local galleries while providing further information about the work exhibited in our project rooms. This newsletter also contains a map of art spaces in the area, so for those unfamiliar with Williamsburg, Momenta is an excellent first stop in Brooklyn. Momenta Art is located at 72 Berry Street, ground floor, between N9th and N10th Sts. in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. By subway, take the L train
to Bedford stop (the first stop in Brooklyn). Exit on the Bedford side. Walk one block towards the river to Berry Street. Make a right on Berry Street and continue 2 1/2 blocks. By car, take the outside lane of the Williamsburg Bridge to the first exit. Make a sharp right onto Broadway. Drive 2 1/2 blocks to Berry Street and make a right. Continue for approximately 10 blocks. Momenta Art is supported by Altria, The Brooklyn Arts Council, Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz, JP Morgan Chase Foundation, New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, New York Foundation on the Arts, New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA), The New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, The Greenwall Foundation, The Jerome Foundation, The Peter Norton Family Foundation, and The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts.

Each instrument, including guitar bass and drum is sculpted from waste by band member Jason Sanford. Neptune plays loud noisy art punk that you can almost dance to. They have recorded several albums, toured throughout the United States and exhibited instruments in galleries. CRISPIN WEBB uses appropriated electronics, the nostalgic history of found objects, and fabricated switches to create interactive sound sculptures. He is currently undergoing a Masters in Sculpture at the Bard MFA program. Project statement There is an alchemical process that takes place when waste is converted into something useful. REFUSE is a collection of work by artists who apply this process to castaway raw materials reshaped into functional art objects and sound sculptures. The exhibit will include pieces whose emphasis is on form and function, making scavenged material an integral, possibly unapparent element of the work through skilled transmutation. An apparent dwelling space within the gallery will be assembled with pieces ranging from dresses woven from cassette tape ribbon (Alyce Santoro), a chair reupholstered with woven blue new york times bags (Sarah Hollis Perry), chairs fashioned from recycled
road signs (Boris Bally) and tables crafted from scrap wood (Scrapile). Several Interactive sound sculptures and musical instruments made from waste will be placed throughout the gallery providing a sonic backdrop for the space.

From the New York Times, Arts & Leisure, July 27:
“One of the interesting things about curating is the way in which projects conceived years beforehand can have an extraordinary resonance with the moment,” says Chrissie Iles, who along with Sam Durant curated the series. In “Sixty Cameras Against the War,” for instance, Julie Talen combined clips from 60 different protesters at an antiwar rally, thus joining together whom police barricades kept apart. The project reminded Ms. Iles of “No Game,” a 1968 project for which filmmakers pooled film of the October 1967
anti-Vietnam War march on Washington. “

“Art as Politics & Propaganda”
Oct. 13 – Nov. 2, 2004
Winona Arts Center, Winona, MN
I thought this may be of interest. I volunteered to curate an invitational exhibition, “Art as Politics &\ Propaganda”, for the Winona Arts Center, Winona, MN. It is scheduled to run from October 13th through election day of this year.
We have masters from original cartoons and posters, silk screened prints and hand-painted banners. There will also be photos, video, political buttons, photo offset posters, lithos and our Film Society will screen “The Fog of War”. The heart of the exhibition is historical, but there will be some current material from the Bush and Kerry campaigns, Iraq etc. The Art Works USA collection includes items from:
Foundation for the Community of Artists; Vietnam Veterans Against the War; American Indian Movement; Art Against Apartheid; Visual AIDS A Day Without Art; Central America Resource Alliance; Mississippi River Revival and Art Not Arms For Central America etc.
If you would like to donate material that fits the category “Art as Politics & Propaganda”, please contact me by e-mail with a description. I will review it and get back to you. Work must arrive by October 1, 2004.
The Winona Arts Center is a small non-profit community art center with a very tight budget. We hope selected participants will be willing to provide self-addressed re-useable shipping containers and postage both ways or else simply donate the items to the Art Works USA collection.
Thanks for your interest,
Billy X. Curmano, FF Alumn

OldHouseNewHouse/OldCityNewCity
Directed by Kyong Park
Edited by Garret Linn and Manuela Tromben
[20:34 minutes] 2004
“OldHouseNewHouse/OldCityNewCity” is a 4-channel video that traces the places, reasons and goals why some individuals and families do or do not move from one home, neighborhood and city to another, and why decline of Detroit and growth of its suburbs combines to create a physical and a historical records of capital, labor and cities that are becoming more nomadic than ever.
From interviews of more than 16 individuals and families, the video is parceled into three chapters, starting with a tour of Graymark, an unfinished waterfront commercial housing development that reduced a community of 4,000 families to 7, the result of Eminent Domain policy by the city of Detroit. You hear the story and fervor of Virginia Cantrell, who fought and lost to the city, and now lives in the only house left in the middle of 87 acres of newly paved roads and street lights, that only circle and illuminate empty green fields. On the opposite screen is a tour with Charles Blackburn-who has constantly moved from one house to another, all inside Detroit, always close to the last one-glimpsing various sites of his past that have all disappeared. The two screens, placed opposite to each other, samples and echoes countless stories of a disappearing city that you can listen to, at anywhere in Detroit.
The second chapter stitches the voices of twenty individuals into a diatomic narrative, a collection of truth and myths about homes, neighborhoods, and cities, at least in their minds, divided between the Detroit and its suburbs. Projected on side by side screens, are views of familiar and odd landscapes, of new and old, construction and destruction, prosperity and poverty, benign and eccentric, humanistic and apocalyptic. Together they tell the protocol of American Dreams, where the territorial move outwards underlines the economic moves upward, or the immobility that traps racially defined subculture within the political boundary of inner city, all taking place in and around the “Motor City.”
In the final chapter is a tour of two suburban houses of the Cope family, its current home up for sale, and the model house of their future home. On the opposite screen is a tour of badly burnt apartment building, by Ronnie Benniefield, presenting a state of art survival within the most powerful economy in the world. Between five full size bathrooms of one house to five sets of people sleeping in a raining room without windows, suspends a spectrum of time and space, about the beginnings and ends of man-built objects, that moves and forms on the surfaces of the earth, similar to the way oceans and clouds move and evolve, by economy not temperature. Welcome to Chernobyl, Sarajevo, Gaza, Baghdad, Kabul, but right in the USA.
and
Detroit: Making It Better For You [a fiction]
Directed by Kyong Park
Composed, edited and narrated by Joshua Pearson
[9:25min] 2000
“Detroit: Making It Better for You” is a 2-channel video, showing a gritty tapestry of images on the destruction of Detroit, the city of the war between the sustainability of the local community against the greed of the global economy. Through its “drive-by-shooting” technique-emblematic to the mythology of Detroit as the “Motor City”-the video offers street level views of the urban clashes between the inner city emptiness and suburban bliss, while the narration describes an urban conspiracy to burn and destroy the city so that it could be bought 50 years later dirt cheap and re-developed again.
