on view Friday and Saturday August 24-25, 2012.
Opening Reception Friday, 6-8PM.
These are some of those people who are bored, walking in circles. Perhaps they expect this to change but they do not work on it. They let themselves loose over time. MIRACLES 7 Reboots is a summer exhibition, of those moments when one is resting, overwhelmed by the heat and stuck to the couch.
This exhibition brings together 6 emerging artists and one art collective to rethink their conceptual framework. During these days, Dumbo Arts Center will be used as a platform to investigate what is a summer show.
Featuring:
REPETITITS - rem·i·nis·cence - 2012
http://cargocollective.com/repetitits
REPETITITS is an intercontinental art collective that works with propositions of collaborative itinerant work-in-progress projects that investigate the specificities generated by mobility and interchange, through different mediums and procedures, that reflect the heterogeneity of the group, formed by visual artists, experimental musicians, video makers, performers.
The REPETITITS are Antonio Sobral, Dácio Pinheiro, Dagmar Brown, Eric Markowski, Flora Rebollo, Francisco Ivan Russo, Manuela Sobral, María Luque, Mariette Auvray, Power Paola, Rodrigo Ortega, Ruli Moretti, Samuel Trifot, Sophia Knapp, Stefan Fähler, based on Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, France, Germany, Mexico, United States.
rem·i·nis·cence is a sound installation composed by voice improvisation on phrases, words and songs that were created during the period of immersion in which the collective was formed. The phrases and expressions are a result of spontaneous repetition experimentation on word sonorities, intonations, pronunciation in different languages, onomatopoeia, noise.
These phrases were resumed and recorded afterwards, detached from their original contexts, as a synthesis made of leftovers, in a flow of non-linear and floating senses.
