GARY HILL
In addition to presenting Gary Hill’s “Remembering Paralinguay” for Art Taipei 2008’s special exhibition, “Art & Tech – Wandering”, ZONE: Chelsea Center for the Arts presented “Language Willing”, “Church and State” and “Big Legs Don’t Cry” by Gary Hill.
Language Willing, 2002
Single-channel video/sound installation
HD video projector (or HD monitor/display, size variable), two speakers, and HD video server (color; stereo sound)
Dimensions: if projected, projection size approx. 10 h. x 14 w. ft. (3.05 x 4.27 m.)
A text performed by the Australian poet-composer Chris Mann acts as a linguistic pulse for a pair of hands minding two discs, arranged side by side in a wide-format projection. The circular shapes, covered with flowery decorative patterns, one red and one creamy white, spin bi-directionally at varying times in unison and independently. Sounding like multiple voices, the somewhat musical speech runs wild through a nonlinear array of subjects held together (and apart) by self-reflexive phrases and punctuation. The fingers move decidedly over the moving surfaces, contorting as necessary in order to touch only the flowers and leaves. The movements of the fingers and discs and the rhythm and pitch of the voice become something of a physical/verbal dance.
Big Legs Don’t Cry, 2005
Single-channel video installation, silent One 45-inch LCD monitor, one DVD player and one DVD
25 ½ h. x 43 w. inches (65 x 109 cm.)
Church and State, 2005
Single-channel video/sound installation
One 45-inch LCD monitor, one DVD player and one DVD
25 ½ h. x 43 w. inches
Although related to the earlier series entitled Liminal Objects (1995 – 98), in which black-and-white, computer-generated animated images are coupled in continuous, interactive motion, the works in Hill’s recent series (which include Big Legs Don’t Cry, 2005; Attention, 2005; Church and State, 2005; and Spoonful, 2005) are rendered in color and created specifically for a wide-screen format, flat-panel LCD screen measuring 25 ½ h. x 43 w. inches (65 h. x 109 w. cm.). These works involve objects that, in a sense, violate each other’s borders in unpredictable ways, with the repetitive interaction and circular logic of their movement suggesting different readings of these veritable micro-scenes. Hinting at elements of symbology, they are “objects on the threshold of being something other than objects, ‘animated’ in a sense deeper and stranger than the technical.” [George Quasha in conversation with Gary Hill]

Born in Santa Monica, California, USA
Lives and works in Seattle, Washington, USA
Gary Hill has been working with sculpture and electronic media since the early 1970’s and has produced a large body of both single-channel video works and mixed-media installations. His long time work with intramedia continues to explore an array of issues ranging from the physicality of language, synesthesia and perceptual conundrums to ontological space and viewer interactivity. His installation and performance work has been presented at museums and institutions throughout the world, and Hill has been the recipient of numerous awards and honors, most notably the Leone d’Oro Prize for Sculpture at the Venice Biennale in 1995, a John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation Grant in 1998, and the Kurt Schwitters Award in 2000.
My primary concern is work-as-inquiry – bringing the processual space to an interactive level that includes myself, the viewer and other possible collaborators into an ontological dialogue. I remain committed to cybernetics and the inherent nature of electronic media – real time feedback – as a rich strategy for working. At the same time, I am interested in bringing out the fallibility of technology – making work that suggests a loss of technology. I am also concerned with a number of dichotomies: mind/body, material/non-material, intuition/self-consciousness, sense/non-sense, etc.
JACKIE MATISSE
Born in France, Jackie Matisse lived in New York until 1954. Since then she has lived in Paris making frequent visits to New York. Between 1959 and 1968 she worked for Marcel Duchamp, completing the assemblage of the “Boite en Valise”. At this time using her married name, Jacqueline Monnier, she began to make kites “in order to play with color and line in the sky”. In 1980 she showed kites which were created to be used underwater at the Betty Parsons Gallery in New York, and since then has continued to make kitelike objects intended for three different kinds of space: the sky, the sea, and indoor space, all linked through her use of movement.
In collaboration with Molly Davies, filmmaker and David Tudor, composer, she created two videos on her underwater and sky work. In the 1980’s she collaborated with David Tudor composer and musician. She just had a comprehensive show of her work at the Mengei International Museum in San Diego, California, U.S.A.

MIRYANA TODOROVA
Miryana Todorova (b.1984 Sofia, Bulgaria) is a visual artist who lives and works between Sofia and NY. The major concern in her work is questioning the politics of public space and how people occupy it. Her projects combine painting, performance, video, movable architecture and public interventions. Miryana holds a MFA Fine Arts degree from the School of Visual Arts, NY. She has participated in numerous exhibitions in Europe and the US among which: Movables at frosch&portmann gallery, NY, Being at the Storefront for Art and Architecture, NY, Movement of the Whole at INDA gallery, Budapest, Disconsent at the Center for Contemporary Art- the Ancient Bath, Plovdiv, and dissident desire at DISTRICT Kunst- und Kulturförderung, Berlin. Miryana is the recipient of the Gaudenz B. Ruf Award for Young Artist (2011) and was a resident and fellow at the Skowhegan School of Painting & Sculpture (2012), ZK/U-Center for Art & Urbanistics (2013), District Berlin (2013), BRIC Visual Artist Residency (2014), and Eileen S. Kaminsky Family Foundation (ESKFF) at Mana Contemporary, NJ (2016). Ms. Todorova has been featured in publications such as Artforum, TimeOut New York, Blouin Artinfo, Le Monde Diplomatique, and Kultura.
My paintings propose ideas and ways of imagining movable architecture. Temporary structures in transit set up new ways of perception and geometry. With shifting grounds and no solidity, the work continuously involves movement and adaptation and every layer becomes a reaction to the transformation of a physical and spatial encounter.
Moving lands of uncertainty and precariousness emerge. Actions are open to improvisation and reconstruction. Gestures flow within open frames bouncing on and off of each other, going along each other, merging or falling apart. Clusters of adaptable architecture bump into actual barriers. Favelas, slopes and fluid corridors come close to the viewer and simultaneously create an obstructed perspective. The clash between depth and sculptural form, coming forward and layering onto one another, serves as a tool for engagement. Negotiation becomes the infrastructure. No arrangement is accidental. No order is fixed. Each bridge needs an extension. A hybrid structure, a moment of spontaneity or an ephemeral city shaped by vulnerability.
Foreign Body is a series of paintings based on the situations and contradictions between bodies and structures in transit. These works are about adaptations, not quite fitting but being considered fit, perceiving a structure and not being able to surpass and cross over on the other side of it while still attempting to reshape the body to adapt and fight with landscapes and structural powers of oppression and disregard.
The multiple layers within the paintings construct various viewpoints and cut outs- the feeling of being submerged and removed from the landscape at the same time. The canvas becomes the stage for performing vulnerability, separation, awkward encounters, obscured visibility and lack of clarity. The movable forms merge with dissident desire for resistance to demonstrate the constant fight with a world that moves forward too much on the basis of differences and conflicts rather than connectedness and collaboration.
