The Ithaca Years: Brummund’s Recent Videos

For the last six years, Karen Brummund’s studio was based in Ithaca. She made installations locally in Ithaca, Trumansburg, and Groton. She also traveled around the world to create her site-specific installations on architecture.
Videos of her work will be screened at station923 on Sunday, May 20th, from 7:30 to 9:30pm.
Beginning at dusk, rain or shine, we will enjoy Brummund’s videos before she and her studio move to Alabama.
You can see more information about her work at www.karenbrummund.com

Sculpted Lines

Kandinsky said that a line is “the trail left by a point in motion.”
So, a drawn line is evidence of the passage of time imprinted in
space. In this sense, drawings can be understood as sculpture, with a
two-dimensional form taking on a third dimension. Using a vocabulary
of organic lines and geometric shapes, Jessica Warner and Werner Sun
apply an iterative process inspired by each other’s works to create a
collaborative installation of drawings based on sculpture and
sculpture based on drawings. In doing so, they map out the fluid
boundary that separates two dimensions from three, object from idea,
and shadow from substance.

Ocean / at sea

Ocean / at sea is a multi-channel video and sound installation which explores the environment and nature of vast bodies of water as well as our concepts of equilibrium and imbalance. Comprised of five monitors and two projections, Ocean / at sea seeks to examine the complex association we have with these liquid entities as well as how we respond to them on a physical, psychological, and symbolic level.

All imagery and sound for Ocean / at sea is appropriated from a wide range of cinematic sources and music archives. My overarching interest lies in developing reconstructed visual situations that re-clarify and challenge our basic perceptual expectations. Ocean / at Sea presents oceans and/or seas literally through multiple lenses, exposing their unique architecture, fluidity, periods of calm and activity, and ultimately the power these immersive environments have on our consciousness.

The Stationmaster’s Unspeakable Hobby

Brody Burroughs and Kurt Piller

On view from 5pm to 8pm

afterparty to follow

Dare ye enter the humble abode of Ithaca’s last stationmaster?

On Friday October 26th, you are invited to explore the uncelebrated history of this native son through an intimate immersion into his freshly exhumed living quarters/workshop, currently known as 923 East Shore Drive. Local alternative historians Brody Burroughs and Kurt Piller curate “The Stationmaster’s Unspeakable Hobby,” an exhibit which delivers an unsavory taste of our stationmaster’s unadulterated inner space and demons. What was he attempting to achieve there? Did he succeed? Was he truly yesteryear’s falsely maligned genius of pseudoscience, or merely a visionary farceur of the near-flung future? Only you may judge. Heralded as “the Pompeii of Upstate New York,” and banned in three Provinces of Canada, this installation promises and provides revelations on par with Al Capone’s Vault and tempts the viewer to dwell upon the indescribable confusion of habitat and inhabitant.

Danger: Diabolik

Mario Bava 1968
John Phillip Law (Barbarella) is the stern-faced title character, a sexy sneak thief in rubber bondage gear who steals millions in gold, outwits the police and still finds time to frolic with his miniskirted girlfriend (Marisa Mell).
The best adaptation to date of the eponym comic book, Danger: Diabolik stands as a master piece of Italian pop.
