In conjunction with The 5th Annual NYC Anarchist Book Fair & The 3rd Annual Anarchist Art Festival OPENING: Saturday April 9th 6-8pm. (Viewable April 9-10th ) Judson Memorial Church 55 Washington Square South New York City, NY FREE Subway: A,B,C,D,E,F,M to West 4th St. 1,2 to Christopher Street/Sheridan Sq N,R to 8th St./NYC Revolutions always result in the dissolution of power; the curious fracturing of what once appeared solid. No longer does the eye have a single focal point. Instead, it opens up like a wide-angle lens to reveal the millions of people at play within this movement of power. Or else it zooms onto a street corner, an alleyway, or a vacant lot for traces of a more discrete source of power. Even the outer lying suburbs are panned and scrutinized. In Chris Marker's 1977 film-essay 'A Grin Without Cat/Le fond de l'air est rouge,' the narrator asks "Why is it that images sometimes tremble?" In this case, it is the lack of a focal point that causes the eye to tremble. The eye is given no rest. The work in this exhibition shares the theme of power. Some exude this through the material choices and process, while others keep it contained like a battery. Still there are others who are more curious, testing, searching for the ever-illusive sources of discrete power. Participating Artist Hsiao Chen, Lacey Fekishazy, Pablo Gomez-Uribe, Kristen Kee, Julia Kul, Carlos Little, Rachel Mason, Lucas Michael, Andrew Prayzner, Colette Robbins, Begonia Santa-Cecilia, Ama Saru, Antonio Serna, and Jacob Zurilla About vizKult This exhibition has been organized by vizKult, a loose band of artist and writers that explore visual culture. The aim is to examine how the visual operates within society and the cult-like mechanisms that manufacture, shape, and control the visual world around us. vizKult's emphasis is on the process of examining the contemporary visual condition. http://www.vizkult.org/propositions/discretepower http://www.anarchistbookfair.net/artatjudson - - - - - - - *Artist/Performer Rachel Mason will also be performing on Sunday at the 3rd Annual Anarchist Art Festival @ The Living Theater. vizKult is working in conjunction within the 3rd Annual Anarchist Art Festival's theme/program "Deconstructing Power and creating New Routes."
