POEM:NATURE:BODY is a program of single-channel video illuminating ecological relations of meaning and embodiment. Featuring video and film pieces by Ty Defoe & Katherine Freer, Stephanie Beattie, Keegan Luttrell, Erica Schreiner, Claudia Schreier & Adam Barish, Cameron Stuart, and Caitlin Craggs where the choreography of words, the poetry of movement, and the ground of reality intersect in lush and confronting ways.
In the gallery: BICAMERAL HEAD, a two-channel video and network installation in development by Stephanie Beattie with sound by Jared Preston.
The Flux Factory’s Flux House on Governor’s Island is hosting a group show curated by Sally Beauty. Come see two pieces of mine, and a host of other talented artists addressing light itself.
SPECIAL UPDATE: Closing event is a Night Parade on September 3rd, come parade in your finest glow-the-the-dark attire!

Conversation with a Candle is featured in the Dream Alliance: Art, Anthropology, and Consciousness group show associated with the Journal of Anthropology of Consciousness this month at ChaShaMa Gallery.
“Dream Alliance: Art, Anthropology and Consciousness is an interdisciplinary project that includes painting, collage, assemblage, sculpture, photography and performance. This exhibition brings together artists and anthropologists who investigate consciousness, particularly as an encounter with the unconscious or magic—that which is unknown—marking the limit of modern identity. The selected works create spaces for otherness as a collective experience (other than ruling class imaginaries), an experience that is both political and aesthetic, and thus envisioned here as a form of magic, which we define as the power to act. In this sense the dream alliance is an alliance across difference, based on a freedom of imagination and a politics of coexistence.
The exhibition, curated by Phantasmata (Melinda Kiefer Santiago & Christopher Santiago), stems from a special issue of Anthropology of Consciousness, a journal of the American Anthropological Association (AAA) that publishes research on a wide spectrum of topics all linked to the cross-cultural study of consciousness phenomena. The issue, edited by Melinda and Christopher, will be published in Fall 2023.”

Do it to Me if You Want will screen as part of the 22nd Tribeca Festival – which will take place virtually and in New York City from June 7th-18th, 2023 – as part of the Tribeca NOW indie episodic program. I recorded the location sound and had a superwonderful time with everyone on set. So so glad it’s out there and getting the attention it deserves. Congrats everyone!

And, wherever you are in the world, you can come.
We are having a hybrid event:
1) a real (very very small) rooftop concert,
2) simultaneously, a virtual "rooftop party" on the virtual audio space High Fidelity, where you can mingle and freely move between conversation groupings, just like on the real roof, and
3) simultaneously, a live stream of the music & visuals.
Don't worry, you don't need special equipment or shoes to join us in VIRTUAL REALITY. Just use your web browser & some headphones. Try out the platform here before you come and make sure you’re able to beam in to the party, or just livestream the art from our contributors & enjoy from wherever!
