One Hour Gallery Seeks Work

This Friday, December 2nd from 8-11 P.M. , One Hour Gallery will be presenting its "Student Salon" Show. We will be accepting work from all majors, undergrads, grads, faculty, staff etc. I would like to have a wide range of work from everyone, and have as much in the space as possible; this is a perfect time to display something that you have been working on through out the semester. I still need a lot of work and would like to come to as many of the grads and faculties classes as possible. If anyone is interested in submitting work, setting a time that I may be able to speak to a class, wanting to see the space etc.

If anyone is interested in submitting work to show, you can drop it off in the Undergrad sculpture studio, B24 anytime, including Friday the 2nd.

The Kodak Lecture Series is pleased to announce that Toronto artist David Rokeby will present a talk about his work on Friday, December 2, at 7:30 pm at Ryerson University in Toronto.

David Rokeby has won acclaim in both artistic and technical fields for his new media artworks. A pioneer in interactive art and an acknowledged innovator in interactive technologies, Rokeby has achieved international recognition as an artist and seen te technologies which he develops for his work given unique applications by a broad range of arts practitioners and medical scientists.

Born in Tillsonburg, Ontario in 1960, Rokeby studied at the Ontario College of Art where he began to use technology to make pieces that directly engage the human body, or that involve artificial perception systems. His best known work, Very Nervous System (1986-90), premiered at the Venice Biennale in 1996, won the first Petro-Canada Award for Media Arts (1988) and is permanently installed in several museums around the world. Rokeby has twice been honored with Austria's Prix Ars Electronica Award of Distinction (1991 and 1997). He has been an invited speaker at events around the world, and has published two papers that are required reading in the new media arts faculties of many universities. He received a Governor General's Award in Visual and Media Arts in 2002.

Current exhibitions of David Rokeby's work can be seen in Toronto at InterAccess Electronic Media Arts Centre (9 Ossington Ave.) until December 4, Blackwood Gallery (U of T at Mississauga) until December 18, and Pari Nadimi Gallery (254 Niagara St.) until December 31. Upcoming projects in Canada include a major exhibition opening at the Art Gallery of Hamilton and a new commissioned work for the Hamilton Airport, both in Spring 2006.

View from the Mezzanine. We will have access to all of this space as well as the smaller rooms that are at the end and to the left in this photo (where Sarah's piece was last year. There are walls already here that can be used which can be put up in a different configuration than last year. Keep in mind that parts of the ceiling in the two large rooms to either side in this photo are off limits since the ceiling is still sheding debris. Also all floors above the second floor near the west Mezzanine, including the end end of the Mezzanine level, are OFF LIMITS first for your safety as the building is slowly being repaired and second because we are guests in the space. Keep this in mind for the next time that we enter the space as a group.

We anticipate that the railing will be up in time on the Mezzanine level on the west side of the building (where you enter the terminal). If this happens, will also be able to use the smaller spaces up on the second floor

This is Sarah Stonefoot's project from last year. There are a few things that you can't see from the image. There was text written on the white parts and also looking through the keyhole, there was video. She brought the wood and doors with her and added to the space. I have other examples and also more details of this piece that we can look at closer once we start to decide together what goes where in the space... most likely this will begin in mid-February.

This is an example of what is possible with the space at the terminal. Keep in mind that the building is in the process of being restored so what ever you do to the building you ultimately need to undo. This is actually what this part of the terminal looks like now, but is an example of what is possible. I'll post the project that was in the spot last year.

Central Terminal

The spring semester exhibition will again be held for senior thesis at Buffalo's Central Terminal.

On 11/22 please make your way to the space by 3:30 so that you can get a good look in relation to your project. We are losing daylight everyday so be sure to be on time so that you can get a really good look around.

In her constant crossing of boundaries, be it racial, curltural, class, Tomie Arai disclaims any positions of authority. By conveying the stories of others, she acts not as expert, informant, representative, enothographer or neutral observer; in fact she un-tells the versions that we expect in order to recontruct and repair society's understanding of history.
