RTS Talks: Elizabeth Orr and Cedar Sigo

December 07, 2015

Real Time and Space is excited to host artist talks by Elizabeth Orr, our December artist in residence, and San Francisco based poet, Cedar Sigo.  Join us on Monday December 14th at 7pm!

Elizabeth Orr (b. 1984 Venice, CA) is an interdisciplinary artist and filmmaker, working through both intuition and research, her work involves an interrogation into philosophy and methodologies of thought and representation – through a queer feminist perspective.  Orr feels that methodology of thought can be materialized in art – literally how it is made, moved, and how formal qualities of art practice dictate a means to an end. The past three years Orr has worked with choreographing and directing performances for video and art installations, along with making glass sculptural works. She is drawn to video and its cinematic history, enthusiastic about the potential to represent complex subjectivities out of set genres, positions, time, and movement, along with how economy interacts with production value and content.

Elizabeth Orr is currently part of the collaborative group No Total based at Artists Space Books and Talks, and is working on her first feature film Mt Rush. Orr is represented by Bodega in NYC and is the manager of her late father, Eric Orr’s Estate. She received her B.A. in Liberal Arts at Hampshire College and her M.F.A from Bard College in 2014. Her work has been featured in multiple organizations in the U.S and abroad including Artists Space Books and Talks, New York, Recess, NY, MoMA, NY, If I Can’t Dance I Don’t Want to Be Part of Your Revolution, The Netherlands, ICA Philadelphia, PA, Harvard University Carpenter Center, MA, NurtureArt, NYC, and was commissioned by MOCAtv with her collaboration Bulk Purchases with artist Emma Hedditch.

Cedar Sigo was raised on the Suquamish Reservation in the Pacific Northwest and studied at The Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics at the Naropa Institute. He is the author of eight books and pamphlets of poetry, including Language Arts (Wave Books, 2014), Stranger in Town (City Lights, 2010), Expensive Magic (House Press, 2008), and two editions of Selected Writings (Ugly Duckling Presse, 2003 and 2005). He has taught at St. Marys College, The Institute of American Indian Arts, University Press Books and Naropa University. He lives in San Francisco.

“More and more, I see the poet’s work as connecting bits of language as they begin to surface out-right. My dream of composition is not to convey narrative but rather to illumine the fact that scaling these gaps aloud creates intimacy. It is a revealing process. It’s arrival may result in entire lines or unsettled syllabic fits of speech. The pull of a rhythm can haunt the mind to the point of destroying any notion of free verse.” – Cedar Sigo

RTS Talks: Courtney Tramposh and Beth Krebs

November 11, 2015

Real Time & Space is pleased to present artist talks by our November artist in residence, Courtney Tramposh, and new RTS member, Beth Krebs.  Join us on Monday, November 16th at 7pm!

Courtney Tramposh (b. 1979) received her BFA from the University of Kansas, and her MFA from Hunter College in New York.  In 2003 she attended Skowhegan School of Painting and Design’s summer residency program in Skowhegan, ME.  And in 2007, was awarded a scholarship to further her graduate studies in Venice, Italy.  Her work has been included in exhibitions throughout the US and abroad, in spaces such as Paragraph Gallery, KS, Clementine, Debs and Co., and The Proposition galleries in NYC, the EMerge Art Fair, Washington, DC, and Red Box Studio in Beijing, China.  In 2011, Tramposh curated the exhibition “Anomalistic Urge” at Vaudeville Park, Brooklyn.  And in 2013, was invited to produce a large-scale installation for the Chashama program’s Harlem exhibition space.  Tramposh lives and works in Brooklyn, NY, and regularly works teaching children set-design and acting in conjunction with the Paper Bag Players children’s theater company in NY.  http://www.courtneytramposh.com/

Beth Krebs’ work celebrates the earnest, heroic, and usually botched human efforts at transcendence. She explores this subject, with humor and empathy, by transforming physical spaces and by making sculptural objects and drawings. A graduate of the MFA program at Rutgers University, Beth has exhibited her work in New York and abroad, at venues including Smack Mellon, Mixed Greens, Storefront Ten Eyck, the Cue Foundation, the Elizabeth Foundation Project Space, the Bronx Museum and Real Artways. In 2012, Beth was awarded a grant to fund an installation in Germany. She is the recipient of a Joan Mitchell Foundation MFA grant, and has been awarded residencies at the MacDowellColony, Jentel, the Virginia Center for Creative Arts and the Bemis Center, and will be at Willapa Bay next March.

POTLUCK FOR GATHERING PEOPLE AND DATA

February 08, 2015

Potlucks for Gathering People and Data

A Compensation Foundation Survey Rally
Tuesday, February 10, 6-8pm

RTS will partner with The Present Group to host one of a series of potlucks taking place at organizations and individual homes throughout the Bay Area. To quote one of the organizers, artist and RTS resident alum, Helena Keeffe, about this project; “With the goal of 1000-1500 new reports, we’re aiming to gather people in the name of increased transparency in the arts, to break bread and collectively create a new resource for visual artists’ advocacy.”

FEBRUARY RESIDENT

February 01, 2015

RTS would like to welcome Chicago based artist Alex Chitty as our February resident. Here’s what Alex has to say about her work and how she plans to spend her time at the studio:

“Sometimes when you’re watching a movie on your laptop and there’s a part that’s darkly lit, the screen reflects your face like a mirror and you end up watching a reflection of your face super-imposed over the movie. It’s not that you forgot you were watching a movie; it’s just that up until that moment, you forgot you physically existed.  And because the story swallowed you up, you forgot the screen existed too.  It’s easy to forget about the surface of the screen and all the lit up pixels that work to get the story across.  I’ve been trying to notice those systems that you become so accustomed to using or being a part of that you no longer see them anymore.

At RTS I’ve begun working on a series of pieces I’ve been referring to as Structure Ptgs.  I’ve been thinking about them for over a year and am excited to have the chance to expand on the idea.  Loosely, I am thinking of them as a type of compressed shelf or wall tray that holds a composition via a sequence of photographs, gestures, and objects both made and found.”
