Conversations, Silber Gallery, Goucher College, Baltimore, MD, Spring 2024

Artists: Mirna Bamieh, Gabo Cambnitzer, Lux Eterna, Bang Geul Han, Adam Golfer, Kyoung eun Kang, Elizabeth Tannie Lewin ("E. Betsy Lewin"), Ellie Lobovits, Katy McCarthy, Helina Metaferia, Mujero, Sunita Prasad, Rachelle Mozman Solano, Katz Tepper, and Gabriela Vainsencher.

Conversations is a group exhibition featuring the work of 15 artists working in video, film, installation, drawing, and sculpture.

Utilizing a wide range of formats—casual verbal exchange, interview, monologue, letters, redacted or reconstructed words, formal presentation—Conversations is a group exhibition that engages the notion of dialogue in contemporary art. While many artists use human discourse as the centerpiece of their work, others explore conversation more abstractly, engaging an imagined viewer, inanimate object, historical archive, person, or legacy, internet-fueled data, or philosophical entity.

At its core, Conversations asks, in a post-AI, post-social media era of multiplicities, where each individual seeks to hold and own their stories and conversations across and in front of many histories and cultures, where do verbal exchanges exist?

Placed together, the works examine a range of emotions—the power, catharsis, empathy, messiness, discomfort, failure, or vulnerability, to name a few—of engaging complex, nostalgic, or even mundane subjects through language.

This exhibition is curated by Janna Dyk, Goucher’s Director and Curator of Exhibitions, and features artists who Dyk met in or through her community in New York City. Additional assistance was provided by Jared Paolini, Digital Arts & Technology Specialist, Goucher College, and William Demaria.

Goucher College’s Silber Gallery is supported in part by grants from the The Maryland State Arts Council and the Baltimore County Arts Council.

OPEN CAGE : NEW YORK - A 100 minute performative, Eyebeam Center for Art & Technology, 2012

OPEN CAGE : NEW YORK - a one hundred minute performative work honoring John Cage in 2012, the centennial of his birth. In 1992, OPEN CAGE: BRATISLAVA was created and directed by artist Morgan O'Hara as a celebration of John Cage's 80th birthday, and performed in the Slovak Philharmony Hall in Bratislava. The original 80 minute score (which was to include John Cage, who unexpectedly passed away prior to its completion) has now been expanded to encompass details of Cage's music, instructions, texts, and stories for the performance in New York in 2012. On Sunday, the 17th of June, from 7:30PM-9:10PM O'Hara presents the work once more at Eyebeam in conjunction with the Chelsea Music Festival. Simultaneous activities will take place in and around an installation of cages with their doors open. Actions will be performed by members of the New York art, poetry, and music communities, Cage enthusiasts, musicians participating in the Chelsea Music Festival, and interested audience members, under the direction of O'Hara. The one hundred minute performative work will involve recorded music and music performed live, texts from Cage's writings, stories written by Cage collected in his books, objects and instruments for which he composed music, a complete chronology of his works read aloud by a musicologist, texts describing his methodology with chance operations, and his studies of Zen Buddhism. Morgan O'Hara, Artist and OPEN CAGE: NEW YORK Janna Dyk, Chelsea Music Festival, Collaborative Visual Arts Curator Ken David Masur and Melinda Lee Masur, Chelsea Music Festival Artistic Directors

  "Chromatic Presence," a collaborative installation for John Lennon's grand piano. Artists: Margaret Schedel, Joshua Clayton, and Jeanette Yew.
[ON SILENCE] Exhibition, New York Center for Art & Media Studies, New York, NY, 2012

Artists: Jenna Bauer, David Brown, J Carpenter, Joshua Cave, Lia Chavez, Joshua Clayton, Dean Ebben, Jung Ah Kim, Karine Laval, Thomas Martin, Morgan O'Hara, Ned Shalanski, Kristen Studioso, Karen L. Schiff, Elizabeth Tubergen, and Shimpei Takeda.

The Chelsea Music Festival is pleased to present [ON SILENCE], a group exhibition of New York-based artists whose work addresses the concept of silence in visual art, using the peculiar juxtaposition of two distinctly diverse texts on silence: Silence, by premier Japanese novelist Shusako Endo, and the compilation of lectures of the same title by the late American composer and theorist John Cage. Via such modes as erasure, negative space, covering, absence, pause, and the like, the works, which include analog and digital photography, painting, drawing, video, sculpture, and mixed media, and many of which were realized specifically for this exhibition, address the psychological, spiritual, and spatial implications of silence. While these two texts on silence represent seemingly incongruous, at times arguably dichotomous, perspectives on silence (that of the spiritual and psychological, and that of the material or chance-based) the works in [ON SILENCE] address three elements of silence which are prevalent in both texts: that of the noisy and sonorous, the subtleties of the visceral in noting its presence within a space, and the aspect of containment, and implicitly, potent longing, present in silence. Artists include Jenna Bauer, David Brown, J Carpenter, Joshua Cave, Lia Chavez, Joshua Clayton, Dean Ebben, Jung Ah Kim, Karine Laval, Thomas Martin, Morgan O'Hara, Ned Shalanski, Kristen Studioso, Karen L. Schiff, Elizabeth Tubergen, and Shimpei Takeda. An opening reception will be held on Thursday, June 14, from 6-8pm, and is free and open to the public. Works will be exhibited at NYCAMS (New York Center for Art & Media Studies), June 13 - July 30. Gallery hours are Monday - Friday, 10am-4pm, or by appointment. Please contact Janna Dyk for further details: jdyk@chelseamusicfestival.org. This exhibition is in conjunction with an evening of performances, which includes premiers of five original music-based compositions, at the Rubin Museum of Art, on June 18.
