“In Practice: Another Echo”
On view through April 2
An echo suggests an interaction and a return: an
emanation which hits a surface and reverberates
as instantaneous memory — a powerful tool for
envisioning and rewriting history in the present.
The word “another” itself suggests recurrence,
but with difference. ‘In Practice: Another Echo”
brings together the work of twelve artists and
artist teams engaged in reshaping experiences
and forms of public space. Often responding
to imposed sociopolitical conditions, the artists
in this exhibition project voice and language,
and make use of responsive and vernacular
materials. Rather than glance at the past with
nostalgia, these artists share a preoccupation
with the present moment: obscuring, adapting,
and subverting surrounding signs and physical
structures in order to witness, reinvent, and
survive.

“Multibowl”
On view through Feb. 15
Multibowl is a collection of fast-paced mini games
sourced and sampled from more than 300 video
games that were published between 1976 and
2000. Two competing players are dropped into the
middle of one of these games and given very little
time (usually 30 seconds or less) to accomplish
a goal before progressing to the next mini game.
Often these goals align with the source’s original
play (e.g. knockout your opponent or beat them to
the finish line), but frequently they bend towards
the counterintuitive and even subversive.
