Lugar a Dudas // Cali International Film Festival


Cali International Film Festival
La Vitrina @ Lugar a Dudas Cultural Center
Cali, Colombia

29 October – 7 November 2010

……………………………………….

I am pleased to participate in the Expanded Cinema selection, curated by artist Jim Finn, of the Cali International Film Festival in Colombia. My video Transfers will be installed in La Vitrina of Oscar Muñoz’s Lugar a Dudas (Room for Doubts) non-profit art space and cultural center.

The Cali International Film Festival is the result of a series of stimuli and incentives from a society that understands the need in Cali to respect diversity, how individuals self-identify, environmental sensitivity, social inclusiveness, the defense of natural and public spaces, urbanism, land integration, efficiency in governance, the path towards democratic ideals, and the celebration of the human need to engage one another.

Thanks Jim Finn & Luis Ospina.

Show-and-Tell @ Dorkbot

Location One Gallery
Greene St. between Canal & Grand, NYC

Wednesday 6 October 2010

……………………………………….

7 – 9pm (Free)

I will be presenting on the medical, material and software meanderings in the making of Traces, a renewable sculpture of my disembodied kidney, cast in frozen spit. Every two hours a new frozen organ is refreshed, cupped in my hands cast in aluminum, only to melt and drip away. The last ends of the kidney slip onto the floor, and a wet mess remains. I materialized the kidney by laboriously tracing the topography of my internal organ from a 3D MRI, consisting of hundreds of sequential medical images. I conceived of Traces as a poetic deterritorialization of medical biotechnologies, organs without bodies and fleshy displacements. It calls attention to the alienability of body parts and the vast global industry that sustains the promise of an infinitely repairable body.

Also presenting, artists Jack Toolin and Melanie Crean. And thanks to the indefatigable Douglas Repetto!
