'data capture_LOST & FOUND'

Still
if lives
viewed
as moving images
could be captured
the flow of movement
remains
just so
out of grasp
escaping
in ethereal transmissions
from the hope
of finding
a place
of asking:
what ghosts
mirror me?

'Alptraum'
Various Artists
Conceived by artists Marcus Sendlinger, Berlin, and Jay Stuckey, Los Angeles, this exhibition invited the contributing artists to submit a work which has their direct hand in it, so physical contact and mark-making on the surface of the material is implied in a manner, within this context, akin to the skrier, an 'automatic writer', a pyromancer’s stirring of the hot embers, an ectoplasmic medium, the hand that re-creates the subconscious wanderings of its owner.
'Alptraum', the German word for nightmare, is an artist-led project. It is a model which utilizes global communication between localized artist hubs and clusters to form an international grouping with the intent of opening a dialogue about this subject across borders and cultures in order to delve into the stuff and mind-murk that is collectively shared or completely random and unrelated, or individual and specific within the syndrome of 'The Nightmare'. Each artist draws on their own personal experience in order to visualize those anxieties, which take them beyond everyday dreams.
Starting in Washington DC, at Transformer, the works travel across the globe to Cell Project Space, London touring to Deutscher Künstlerbund Projektraum, Berlin, The Company, Los Angeles, May/June 2011 and 'Blank Projects', Cape Town, August 2011.
It is co-curated by Victoria Reis and Marissa Long, Transformer, Richard Priestley, Cell Project Space and Jonathan Garnham, blank projects.
