2. Linda Sibio, FF Alumn, at Scope Art Fair, Los Angeles, May 21-24, and more
Andrew Edlin Gallery of New York is pleased to announce a painting exhibition and performance by Linda Carmella Sibio in conjunction with the Scope LA Art Fair at The Standard Hotel, 8300 Sunset Blvd, Hollywood, CA. Sibio will give a live performance of an excerpt from “Panic Attack”, a piece she wrote and debuted at Highways in Santa Monica in 2002.
Sibio’s career began at the age of 11 when she started drawing in the basement of an orphanage in West Virginia(her mother had been institutionalized for schizophrenia). Talented but filled with severe emotional disorders she too was diagnosed with schizophrenia in 1977 while studying painting at Ohio University.
Sibio moved to Los Angeles in 1983. During this period her art centered around performance and began to deal with social issues such as homelessness, the plight of the mentally disabled, prostitution, drug addiction, suicide and haunted Hollywood apartments.
In 1999 Sibio returned to painting. She began her latest series using brilliant gouache paint and sumi ink on huge 8′ x 4′ sheets of arches watercolor paper. Her bold figures are enveloped by several thousand meticulously rendered miniature images, a visual language she likens to Mayan hieroglyphics. Sibio refers to the artistic vision that guides her asThe Insanity Principle, which encompasses her perceptions as a schizophrenic, invoking themes such as fragmentation, hallucinations, interrupters, and non-linear time sequencing.
The Lannan Foundation, The Rockefeller Foundation, and The California Arts Council have all supported her work. She has been in prestigious shows such as “Out There” at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis and The Asylum series with Franklin Furnace in
New York among others.
Andrew Edlin Gallery will also be showing works by Vahakn Arslanian, Henry Darger, Tom Duncan, Marc Lamy, Martin Ramirez, Bill Traylor and Adolf Wölfli at Scope LA.
For further information please contact Andrew Edlin at 212 206 9723.

and
“Madness from the point of view of the mad is an altered state, a way of being, a way of perceiving the world. These perceptions are unique and surreal and do not fit comfortably into the main stream arts community.”
One of twelve VSA international fellowship recipients, Linda Carmella Sibio presents her community project. This interdisciplinary project is entitled “The Prophet of Doom in the Banana Republic.” It is collaboration between Sibio and the oddest, quirkiest people in the high desert of California who are called “The Cracked Eggs” (arts group Sibio founded in 2001).
Community sponsors for the project include VSA Arts (Washington, D.C.) international non-profit that provides opportunities in the arts for people with disabilities; Bezerk Productions which is a non-profit in the high desert dedicated to mainstreaming the art of mentally disabled people as well as providing art educational services to this population (headed up by Norman Frisch, Martha Wilson, Moira Adams, Derek Graves); Morongo Basin Counseling and Recovery Center is a private non-profit community based organization that provides quality outpatient services for emotional, behavioral or mental problems for adults and children.
“The Prophet of Dom in the Banana Republic” deals with the issue of what happens when there’s a forced, military take-over of a country (in this case Eureka). It addresses the social network of the poor and the effects of the military take-over by The Prophet of Doom. It explores the demise of the Doom Republic and the spiritual uprising of The Dead Opera Singer who explores issues around death and immortality. All this is done through a wild and absurd deconstructed text, paintings and totem poles that roll around on stage and exquisitely horrific, beautiful and strange sounds created by Piano Bob (Bob Fenger). “The Cracked Eggs” deliver soul-searching performances that are guaranteed to pluck your brain and your head. Where there’s a strange bird there’s the possibility of transformation.
There will be two shows only on Friday, May 21 and Saturday May 22 at 8PM at the Hi-Desert Playhouse located at 61231 29 Palms Highway in Joshua Tree, Ca. (next to The Joshua Tree Inn). Tickets for the show are $12-$15 and can be bought at the playhouse (760-366-2090, Wed. – Sat. from 4PM-6PM), The Beatnik Café (everyday from 9AM-12midnight – 760-366-2090), and Joshua Tree Health Foods (everyday except Sunday 9AM-6PM). Advance tickets bought will help group make sets, get costumes and props and do publicity.

8. Steed Taylor, FF Alumn, Survivor’s Knot Road Tattoo in Columbus Ohio, and more
Hi There –
In April I was invited to Columbus, Ohio to make one of my Road Tattoos, Survivor’s Knot. Located on East Gay Street near downtown, it is 162-feet by 24-feet and commemorates long-term AIDS survivors – like myself – in the Columbus area. Rain, snow and hail made the installation difficult but with some excellent help from a group of hardworking freshmen at the Columbus College of Art and Design we got it done!
Names of the individuals commemorated, including the number of years surviving with the disease, were written in the design. A beautiful prayer by local Reverend Phil Hart was officiated. Afterwards the design was painted in, covering over the names. The Columbus AIDS Task Force, NBC 4 Columbus, Home Depot, Glidden Paint and the Columbus College of Art and Design provided generous support. It was a wonderful experience for me to honor people who know the reality of AIDS all too well and to enjoy the kindness and support of this beautiful city. If you would like to see images of Survivor’s Knot, the Columbus College of Art and Design did a nice write up.

A show of relating site drawings and works on paper will be opening on May 20th at the Rebecca Ibel Gallery, 1055 North High Street,
Columbus, OH 43201, (614)291-2555, www.rebeccaibel.com
If you would like a copy of the prayer, images of work in the show, more photos of Survivor’s Knot or directions to see it in-person, let me
know. Thanks and hope your spring has sprung nicely!

Trading Places Pump House Gallery, Battersea Park, London
Exhibition: Pump House Gallery, 7-29 May 2004
Mapping, Representation, Collaboraton.
Trading Places will offer a critical platform to discuss Britain’s realationship to Europe and its borders by presenting sensitive and provocative projects that investigate and map experiences of migration. Incl. Zeigam Azizov, Big Hope, Ursula Biemann, Phil Collins, Sejla Cameric, Martin Krenn, MAIZ, Wochenklausure etc.
Discussion: Sheffield University, 13 May 2004, 6-8pm
Tadej Pogacar, Ursula Biemann. chaired by Doina Petrescu.
We could take Remote Sensing and CODE:RED as starting points to discuss the potential to move understandings forward and challenge expectations and preconceived notions of sex work. Both strategies attempt to reveal the complexities and contradictions within the field. How do the projects upset power relations at play within the global sex trade? How can we attempt to understand globalisation through the movement and trade of women – what are these new geographies, how can we map them? How are women empowered through these projects?
Doina Petrescu was born and trained as an architect in Romania and currently lives and works in Paris, France and Sheffield, England. She studied philosophy at the EHESS (École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales) with Jacques Derrida and comparative literature at the Univeristy of Paris VIII. Her research concerns questions of gender in relation to contemporary politics and poetics of space, technology and emerging practices in changing socio-geopolitical contexts.
Ursula Biemann is an internationally renowned artist, curator and theorist based in Zurich. Her work investigates the geographical spheres generated by the human economic circuits required by the global market. Specifically, she deals with the experience of migrant women and their relationship to technologies of surveillance and control. Recent curatorial projects include Geography and the Politics of Mobility (Generali Foundation, Vienna, 2003).
Tadej Pogacar is an internationally renowned artist and curator based in Ljubljana, Slovenia. In recent projects he deals with research and analysis of parallel information strategies and parallel economic models in urban areas. CODE:RED is an ongoing collaborative, interdisciplinary project which involves collaboration with scientists, artists and organisations working for the rights of sex workers. CODE:RED is dealing also with the topic of migrations and global human trading in a time of New economy.

Excerpts from Lockdown will be on display

Open House: Working in Brooklyn on view from April 16 to August 15, 2004 will be the largest, most comprehensive survey to date of artists working in Brooklyn. All of the works on view have been made since 2000, so few will be familiar to visitors and most will be on exhibit for the first time. More than 300 works in all media by 200 Brooklyn artists will fill the two galleries in the Morris A. and Meyer Shapiro wing of the Museum and occupy other, less conventional locations as well. Other works will also be placed within the BMA’s permanent galleries. The exhibition will place special emphasis on the multigenerational, multiethnic, and multinational artist communities that have breathed new life into such Brooklyn neighborhoods as Williamsburg, DUMBO, Red Hook, Greenpoint and Bedford-Stuyvesant.
Expanding on its landmark series of exhibitions showcasing art from Brooklyn, also titled Working in Brooklyn, Open House: Working in Brooklyn is curated by Charlotta Kotik, Chair of the Museum’s Department of Contemporary Art, who has coordinated every one of the Museum’s Working in Brooklyn projects, and Tumelo Mosaka, the Department’s new Assistant Curator. Together they have considered the work of well over 1,000 artists and visited nearly as many studios, galleries, and private collections.
Artists selected for the exhibition include long-established Brooklyn-based artists such as Vito Acconci, Louise Bourgeois, Rico Gatson, Martha Rosler, and Danny Simmons; widely admired mid-career artist like Terry Adkins, Steven Charles, Wenda Gu, Glenn Ligon, and Roxy Paine; and such exciting newcomers as Haluk Akakçe, Rina Banerjee, David Baskin, Amy Cutler, Linda Ganjian, Luis Gispert, Jonathan Grassi, and Emily Jacir.
