“Ain’t Nothing Like Being Free”
This Sunday, September 4th at 8:30pm
station923 presents an outdoor screening:
“Ain’t Nothing Like Being Free” is the second documentary film by John Meyer: a uniquely juxtaposed showcase of dreamers, adventurers, and madmen set in the swampy environs of central Florida. Time is spent with a priest who claims to have visited heaven three times, an amateur psychic archaeologist in search of Ponce De Leon’s cabin, a group of rappers from Orlando, and a self-proclaimed redneck turned actor.

Arche/Structure
8.26.16
reception: 6-9pm
Ahmed Ozsever’s work explores perceptions of time through the embedded memory traces that manifest in both constructed and natural environments. Ahmed works in installation utilizing various materials and techniques including video, sound, and text; all of which are informed by photographic way of looking and thinking.
The forthcoming exhibition Arche/Structure looks at infrastructure as the bridge between highly regimented quotidian time and seemingly unquantifiable geological time. The subject matter is inspired by Station 923’s proximity to the now defunct Ithaca-Geneva rail line, originally constructed to supersede the canal structure of New York State. The resulting works are immersive and experiential; eliciting sensations of compressed distance while establishing relationships between the domestic space and landscape through forced and obscure vantage points. The exhibition will feature sculptural, photographic, and sound components; installed to seamlessly transition from one to the next, while engaging the unique architecture of the space.
Ahmed currently lives and works in Chicago, IL. Arche/Structure continues in the lineage of his recent exhibition Tracing the Inevitable Axis/Point (2015). Ahmed earned his MFA from Cornell University in 2015 and is excited to be returning to Ithaca for this upcoming exhibition.
On view through September 2nd

Make Me a Pallet on Your Floor represents a series of new work by Stephanie Clark that considers the wood pallet as support, frame, and material. While walking past construction sites Clark realized that the forms of the pallets were aesthetically transformative and interrupted the ways in which she navigates and perceives her physical environment.
At once referencing painterly concerns and what it means for an object to shift into one realm from another, Make Me a Pallet on Your Floor makes manifest the transitions that we all make when existing within the constructs of modernity or post-modernity.
What does it mean when we relate to objects that are deemed unnecessary and what does it mean to repurpose and use them once again to build a new field or spatial relationship? How do marks and gestures represent a history, a genealogy and a physical remembrance of time passed and events impacted?
STEPHANIE CLARK (b. 1988, White Sands Desert, NM) is an MFA Visual Arts Candidate at Cornell University. Her work has been featured on the arts and culture blog, Booooooom!, Vancouver, BC, Canada; in Paradigm Magazine, Philadelphia, PA; on the cover of the Chicago Review, Issue 59:1/2, Chicago, IL; in Bat City Review, Issue 11, Austin, TX; and in Studio Visit Magazine, Issue 30, Boston, MA. Clark has exhibited both nationally and internationally. This is her first solo show with station923.

Outlet: Part I

opening reception:
Friday, September 19th from 6 to 9pm
On view through October 8th
By 1985, Israel had only three shopping malls: Clal Center in Jerusalem, London Ministore in Tel Aviv and Ayalon Canyon at the adjacent city of Ramat Gan. Much of the commercial engagements in neighborhoods in Israel’s periphery and suburbs took place in shopping plazas known as Merkaz Mishari, literally translated as Trade Centers.
Whereas the shopping malls signified particular perceptions of consumerism and consumerist culture, as these emerged in Hausman’s 19th century Paris and were later re-articulated in North America, the local trade centers were abundant in local mom-and-pop’s stores, catering for the specific needs of the local community. As oppose to the chain stores that housed the air conditioned windowless hallways of the shopping malls, located outside of the city center, the trade centers were significantly situated in the heart of the neighborhood and as such, their daily routine had to comply with the beating pulse of their varied locations. Intimate communal experiences and activities were negotiated in the plaza of the trade center, between the vegetable stores, the libraries and the local coffee shops.
In Israel’s smaller towns, the trade center is currently struggling to maintain its public appeal. Faced with changing economies, demographics, modes of communication and participation in the public domain, the hardships of the trade center seems to echo the distress of urban environments to maintain their individual identities. Outlet will therefore identify their emergence all across Israel in particular times, their common characteristics, inherent differences, as well as their functions within different communities. These observations, obtained by various media, are stored in a private archive, operating by its own systemic logic, which will be open to the public in the gallery. The trade center will be brought in to Station923, a location which in itself is shaped in constant transition between the private and the public, between the private home and the conductor’s storage space, between the cottage and the exhibition space.
Special thanks to the Israel Architecture Archive
season begins with a memorable performance
A heartfelt thanks to all who came out to last night’s performance and screening, the first of the summer events at station923.
What an exceptional way to kick off the new season – we still have goosebumps from watching “Cured Redux,” an audio and visual performance by Taylan Cihan, Tyran Grillo, and Daren Kendall. The hour-long piece performed just after dark had viewers transfixed with a mesmerizing combination of electronic soundscapes created live outside the gallery space (Cihan), which intermingled with the sound of a male voice broadcast from inside the space (Grillo) as he recited words harvested from his subconscious by means of a digital voice recorder that he kept handy while falling asleep, a collection of ramblings compiled over the years and used for the first time during the station923 performance. Toward the end, as he ran out of text, he improvised. All the while, just outside the studio space, Kendall, working by headlamp, transformed the sculptures he created during the summer of 2013 at station923 by hammering and chiseling at their facades to expose more of the underlying structures, or by altering them in other ways.
Here are some time lapse images documenting the event:
Stay tuned for an interview with the three to appear on this site…

final show of 2013 season: We Three
WE THREE: Flemming Ove Bech, Fryd Frydendahl, Bernard Yenelouis is a collaborative project done long-distance between Ithaca, New York City and Copenhagen in which each participant has circulated photographic images among themselves. The auto-curatorial structure of on-line sharing is shaped by the simultaneous intimacy and distance of three old friends in a sustained virtual conversation done over a passage of several months. The epistolary selection of images creates its own associations when installed in situ at Station923.
Flemming Ove Bech lives in Copenhagen, Denmark where he works with photography, print making, sculpture and independent publishing. In 2010 Bech co-founded the publishing company Lodret Vandret. Bech is the author of Olympiasieger (Vandret, 2013), sonic booms to consider (Vandret, 2012), and Formes Anterieures (Je Suis une Bande des Jeunes, 2011).
Fryd Frydendahl is a photographer, video maker and book artist in in New York City. Frydendahl is part of the performance group Birds 
production, Bird Mitsudahl. In 2007 Frydendahl published Familiealbum (Nyt Nordisk Forlag Arnold Busck); the book features a collection of portraits from The Youth House, a legendary Danish punk venue that was evicted and demolished in 2007. In 2011 Frydendahl published her zine Personal Spam, followed by Romeoville. Frydendahl is the author of The Summer of Yes (Nyt Nordisk Forlag Arnold Busck, 2012) and in collaboration with the Danish artist Halfdan Pisket the forthcoming winter (Gladiator, 2013).
Bernard Yenelouis is an artist and writer, based in Ithaca, NY. His most recent project is How to Live in the City, Milstein Gallery, Cornell University (2012). He has shown at 
Momenta Art, Kravets-Wehby, Sue Scott, Monya Rowe and Rare galleries in New York City, the Kristi Engle Gallery in Los Angeles, and at the Detroit International Video Festival. Yenelouis has published in Conveyor, Pastelegram, saint-lucy, Bomb, and 10×10 American Photobooks (Book Dummy Press, 2013). Forthcoming projects will be included in Memories Can’t Wait (Secretary Press, 2013) and the journal Diacritics (2014).
