FEB/MARCH Resident: Daniel Bouthot

January 29, 2016

RTS is pleased to welcome our Feb/March 2016 resident, Daniel Bouthot!

Daniel Bouthot is a visual artist whose work draws from themes of American history, economics, production, and technophilia as they are framed within contemporary consumer culture. In recent projects that explore a fascination with digital tools, he has built sculptures that mine Bitcoin, hacked a CNC router to make it script the Declaration of Independence with a feather quill, and utilized a sharing economy platform to dispense beat poetry. His work has been described as crafty and minimalist in aesthetic with a dry wit that aspires towards the absurd. Working across a wide range of media including prints, sculpture, performance, and video, he has been shown nationally and internationally at venues including NYCAMS in New York, The Soap Factory in Minneapolis, SOMARTS in San Francisco and Fieldgate Gallery in London. He has a BFA in printmaking from the Rhode Island School of Design and an MFA in social practice from California College of the Arts. He currently lives and works in Oakland.

JAN/FEB Resident: Constance Hockaday

January 09, 2016

RTS is excited to welcome our first resident for 2016, Constance Hockaday!

Constance Hockaday is a Chilean American artist who grew up on the water in Port Isabel, Texas, 5 miles from where the Rio Grande River dumps into the Gulf of Mexico. She has created outsider maritime projects for more than 15 years, from a boat hotel the New York Times called “a New York City success story” to a floating peep show bobbing in the San Francisco harbor that highlighted the loss of spaces for the Bay Area’s queer community.

Hockaday began working with boats at a young age. At 19, she joined up with the Floating Neutrinos, a renowned family of wanderers who sailed around the world in handmade rafts who taught Hockaday to build boats from found materials. In 2006 she began a three-year collaboration with the street artist SWOON for Deitch Projects called Swimming Cities. SWOON, Hockaday and the other participants sailed floating sculptures and handcrafted vessels along the Hudson and Mississippi Rivers as well as the Adriatic Sea. Hockaday coordinated safety and logistics on the boats and captained her own vessel across the Adriatic to crash the Venice Biennale. In 2011 she created the Boatel in NYC’s Far Rockaways, a floating hotel and arts space made of refurbished salvaged vessels that hosted residents and art goers for overnight visits and performances in an effort to reconnect New Yorkers to the waterfronts and urban waterways of their cities. The project brought in audiences of over 5000 people and garnered press and critical acclaim everywhere from the New York Times and The Guardian to NPR and El Pais.

Her most recent performance installation, “All These Darlings and Now Us,” commissioned by Southern Exposure in San Francisco, was described by the New York Times as a powerful “commentary on the forces of technification and gentrification roiling San Francisco.” Peepshow performances by strippers, drag queens, and performance artists from two recently shuttered iconic queer businesses, The Lusty Lady and Esta Noche, took place on a raft of retrofitted sailboats. More than a thousand people watched the shows, many brought to the boats on skiffs.

Hockaday holds an MFA in Social Practice Art and a Masters in Conflict Resolution from Portland State University and BA from Prescott College. She is a 2014 TED Fellow and has received support from the San Francisco MOMA, City of Oakland, the East Bay Artist Fund, The Puffin Foundation, Flux Factory, and Southern Exposure.

DECEMBER 19TH 2015 7 TO 9 PM
Visuals by Grace Rosario Perkins and Anna Luisa Petrisko/ JEEPNEYS

Tropic Green performance at 8 with Sarah Sass Biscarra-Dilley and Titania Kumeh

Tropic Green is music from the planet Saturn as channeled by Adee Roberson. Roberson is a visual artist and musician who has been a fixture in underground art and music for over a decade. With Tropic Green- She is leading the way for us into a Black Futurist fantasy that draws from the minimal aspects of punk, reggae, house music, and spirituals. She weaves rich celestial landscapes with her drum machines, synthesizers and various percussion instruments.

These tracks were recorded cross-country in California & New York City. Crime On The Moon label owner Hannah Lew handled the west coast tracking & participated in the birth of the music which features Roberson on drum machine, synthesizer, bass and vocals. India Cooke, the legendary Bay Area Jazz and Improvisational Violinist peppers the songs throughout. Christina Files took over in NYC for producing & mixing bringing cosmic lasers, floating oscillations of white noise & regenerated feedback that folds gracefully into the milieu and helped further Roberson’s creative vision. Obscured by samples, decibel distortions & outer space visions, the nature of this recording forces the music to be heard.

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

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.
