Jillian Mayer http://www.jillianmayer.net/


Scenic Jogging features Mayer chasing projected images of typical screensavers such as idyllic meadows and mountainscapes. These images are embellished by design programs to be more attractive to appeal to our primal desire to be outside rather than in front of a computer or in ugly urban landscapes. Even if Mayer were to ever catch up her object of desire, she will find it never existed in the first place, and she has been chasing the unattainable.

With Jugband, Garcia uses the grid of the screen as a harsh and heightened dismembering device; always severing something out of view, always conflicting with the skewed angles and energy of the live body.

In Search of the Miercoles
In a desperate attempt at reconnecting with the history of man taking to the ocean in search for the unknown, I leap in to the briny deep. Rather than following in the footsteps of Bas Jan Ader’s In Search of the Miraculous ultimate end all performance, I am seeking a little piece of paradise on a Wednesday. Enthusiastic and Gung Ho, my fear is over come with a slight chance of reward.
