Alternative Topographies: February 2 – March 20

chris lynnChris Lynn

An Exploration of Place(s) Real, Imagined, Representational and Abstract.

This time-based media exhibition takes the broad idea of topography to delve into questions about place: how we define place; the roles we play in the preservation and transformation of place; and how place is represented in our memories, imaginations and shifting experiences of reality.

MEDIA INSTALLATION:  Electronic Gallery, TETC 128, open 7 days a week, 8a.m.- 8p.m.

Artists include:  Alejandro Acierto, Kristen Anchor, Matt Dombrowski, Stephen Ellis, Johanna Evans-Colley, Felix Frederick, Adam Hurwitz, Ron Lambert, Christine Lucy Latimer, Chris Lynn, Edward Morin, Paul Shortt and Filippo Tagliati.

Foot Notes: On The Sensations of Tone at the Apex Art Gallery Tomorrow !

B7PUR0zIIAAoIIt Organized by Alastair Noble Featuring Una Lee Annea Lockwood Chris H. Lynn Robert Macfarlane Ed Osborn David Rothenberg Chris Watson Field recordings have proliferated in recent years due to the availability and portability of high quality recording equipment, enticing composers and sound artists to take their studios to the edge of the wilds or down the street. Foot Notes: On the Sensations of Tone, an audio and visual art exhibition organized by environmental/installation artist Alastair Noble, features 9 composers and sound artists whose works map, record, and respond to their natural environment be they urban or wild. http://apexart.org/exhibitions/noble.php

Foot Notes: On The Sensations of Tone at the Apex Art Gallery in NY City January 15-March 7th

I am really excited that the ongoing Miniature Landscape Correspondence project that Una Lee and I created is going to be part of this wonderful sound event curated by Alistair Noble.
Here is the link and some very insightful text on the Miniature Landscape Correspondence:

Another international venture is built with field recordings, the source of the raw unedited audio-visual postcards or Miniature Landscape Correspondences (2013), a collaborative project between Una Lee in South Korea and Chris H. Lynn in the United States. This again relies on a two-way call-and-response process of on-site audio recordings, coupled with a steady visual and audio rhythm. These reflect the direct experience of the everyday from each vantage point of the correspondent. The unassuming public spaces are captured to relay an intimate association for a private missive between friends. Short, without text, just two video shots with recording of urban or natural sites, no narrative or texts are recorded; it is purely the transmission of an atmosphere by each party. Here, poetic moments of image and sound convey all. Initially, current social networking sound bytes are conjured up with these very short audio visual videos, however they more closely resemble 19th century epistles between fellow poets. Once again the ruminations of Coleridge come to mind in which his communiqués transform his reader through poetic verse.
