Making use of images taken from old photographs, artists working in installation, performance, music, video and other new media create an innovative mix of past, present and future visions of the Arroyo, calling to mind the bohemian sensibility of Lummis’s circle and inventing scenarios of Arroyo life yet to be.

Presented by the Betty Rymer Gallery as part of its fall 2007 programming, this three evening festival (November 2-4) of recent works blurs the boundaries between theater, movement, audio, and the visual arts.

Dara Brady and Tom Brady will screen three works in succession:

Hands and Face 1975 and 2007
2007
Super 8 film and digital video
4 minute clip

Tom Brady first began experimenting with Super 8 film during the early 1970’s while earning an MFA at Rutgers University. His return-to-art-making catalyst, Dara Brady (MFA candidate in performance at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago), revived some of his old footage in Hands and Face 1975 and 2007. The two artists face each other now as father and daughter. In the timelessness of film/video they are the same age. They communicate across 30 years using the technology of their time with an invented language of signs and symbols: emotive, reflective and silent. This piece addresses the gap between the two artists and begins to explore the shared traits, habits, moments and movements between family members.

What were we thinking?
2007
Digital video
5 minutes

After creating Hands and Face 1975 and 2007, Tom and Dara discuss how to explore their present day connection. What were we thinking? a sound piece centered on this conversation, reveals the conceptual development of Eleven Directions for AM/PM.

Eleven Directions for AM/PM
2007
digital video
24 minutes

Physically separated by 332.92 miles and self-imposed disconnect via telephone, internet, email the two performers, explore synchronicity in their everyday lives. For 24 hours the artists link actions through a set of separately devised instructions. The piece looks at how a performer’s body, gestures, movements, and timing vary according to times of day and location. The split-screen reveals the uncanny physical and mental similarities between individually unique, father and daughter.

Other artists at the festival: max alexander, Sarah Elliot, Christ Powers, Megan Ransmeier, Kate and Paul, Tif Bullard, Aaron Henderson, Genevieve Erin O'Brien, Kallie Clark, Naufus Figueroa, and James Kubie.
