Voluspa Jarpa, Symptoms of History 

Reminds me of my FLOCK installation but much much better executed.

Mounir Fatmi: Kissing Cirles

Mounir Fatmi: Kissing Circles | Kissing Circles proposes an encounter between two classic Hollywood films: Modern Times by Charlie Chaplin and Casablanca by Michael Curtiz.
The circle serves as the link between this ensemble of recent work presented in the gallery. Mounir Fatmi has been working for several years with this universal shape, which is explored through a wide range of fields, including visual art-from Duchamp and his roto-reliefs, to another modernist artist, Sonia Delaunay. The circle is also found in religious symbolism, with one strong example being the pilgrims who walk around the Ka'ba, in Mecca, the most sacred structure in Islamic architecture. More concerned with philosophy than mathematics, the artist is inspired by Descartes geometric theorem, which establishes a relationship between "kissing" or mutually tangent circles. A response to this relationship is found in a poem titled, "The Kissing Precise" by Frederick Soddy, and Mounir Fatmi interprets this response in a series of bas-relief sculptures made with coaxial antenna cables, called Kissing Circles.

Carlos Martiel - Silent Prayer

Carlos MartielPlegaria Muda (Silent Prayer)Steve Turner Contemporary is pleased to present Plegaria Muda (Silent Prayer), a solo exhibition by Carlos Martiel. The exhibition follows Martiel's first performance in the United States which took place at the gallery on February 14. Martiel positioned himself in the middle of the room where thin strands of nylon were sewn into his body and tautly extended to the walls of the gallery where they were attached. Bells emitting varying sounds were attached to the nylon. While Martiel attempted to remain motionless, his inevitable involuntary movements triggered the chimes. The gallery now features a photograph and a two-channel video of the performance along with the nylon strands that previously held Martiel in place.

According to guest curator Edna Sandoval, in "Plegaria Muda Martiel explores what it is to be human and seeks to know for himself whether he has any life force beyond the borders of his own physical body. This question, one that has been asked since the beginning of mankind, is fundamental to all the world's religions and it centers on the notion of one having a spirit. In aiming to remain still, Maritel seeks to animate the conflict between that objective and the environment around him so that the bells will represent his spirit."
