REAL TIME & SPACE

OCTOBER 2013

October 08, 2013

RTS welcomes Ron Ewert, a visual artist and co-director of The Hills Esthetic Center in Chicago Illinois.  Ron is currently working on a never-ending series of black on white paintings of doodles, thumbnail sketches, preliminary drawings and graphic leftovers to be exhibited salon style or any-style, with or without a soundtrack, as an accumulative practice which is definitively not hoarding and may or may not be pathological.  While in Oakland, Ron will be studying the evolution of the Major League Baseball postseason, professional football players’ body language, the pros and cons of medium, large and extra-large art objects, and the displacement of subjectivity in abstract painting.

AUGUST/SEPTEMBER 2013

September 27, 2013

McIntyre Parker prepared for and held a solo exhibition at Portland State University, Oregon, Unnamed flowers call that of this morning’s yellow.

AUGUST 2013

September 25, 2013

RTS is happy to welcome Brooklyn based artist Maliea Croy for the month of August. While at RTS Croy will work on an exploration in diminishing vision (literally).  How to show how something transforms, is mistaken for something else, becomes invisible, fades away.  She is questioning the definitive nature of things as nothing looks the same as it used to.  Using language to describe objects, objects to describe people, etc. She has begun to feel a little more flexibility in the purpose of things.

JULY 2013

July 17, 2013

RTS is excited for our 20th resident Erika Lynne Hanson. Hanson visits Oakland from Kansas City but will move to Phoenix shortly after her time with us. Hanson while at RTS will work with the notion of landscape which is inherently a view that can never be reached, she will begin by exploring the possibilities for understanding these distant scapes. Using national parks webcams as a source material, Hanson is investigating the potential for the images to offer unexpected information once being distilled through various processes and media, resulting forms range from video to bead work to installation.

JUNE 2013

June 11, 2013

RTS is happy to welcome André and Evan Lenox a.k.a. The Lenox Twins a.k.a. Lenox-Lenox as the June Artists in Residence. André and Evan operate within a collaborative mindset as a means to reinforce discontentment with an individual’s role in society, and distress regarding how to reinstate a sense of self. Lenox-Lenox will present a talk about their work in June as part of the RTS Talks series, which are free and open to the public. The Twins’ residency at RTS will culminate with an exhibition at Important Projects on June 28^th.

APRIL/MAY 2013

May 24, 2013

Spring at RTS has been particularly sweet this year with the addition of April/May resident artist Kait Mooney. Mooney has been working on a new series of sculptural works that use spatial and material illegibility in relation to body-based and architectural elements.  Mooney will present a talk about her work on May 28th at 7:30pm as part of the RTS Talks series, which are free and open to the public.

WRITE

RTS has organized a series of donation-based writing workshops for artists. This series was inspired by a debate from the Institutions by Artists conference last fall in Vancouver, Canada. The debate was titled Should Artist Professionalize, there was no clear winner, but many provocative thoughts and ideas were raised. One tool that emerged as useful for all art professions is writing.  These workshops are designed for artists but open to everyone.

RTS is happy to welcome Zoe Taleporos as the March/April 2013 resident. While at RTS, Taleporos will continue a body of research that explores the history of public access television, and ways in which artists have used it as a medium or exhibition platform. Her work will concentrate on the impetus to democratize television media, beginning with the activities of 60s/70s video collectives, and will explore the eventual use of public access television, particularly in New York City during the 70s/80s. Her work will be presented during the April edition of RTS Talks, and as part of The Lecturers, a series of commissioned online seminars.
