[TEH] Nowcasting at Sewanee's University Art Gallery
Visitors to Nowcasting will experience the building of a digitized storm in the confines of the gallery. Like TEH's other works, this installation is intended to "challenge the senses through the use of simulation, and present weather/environment through mediated, virtual and physical processes."
Collaboration with Westbrook and Lewis under TEH banner.
October 9 - November 22, 2009

Product Placements as part of Le Flash, a dusk to midnight festival of art and performance. Le Flash is the first event of Atlanta Celebrates Photography, a weeklong photo festival and conference.

BIN (co-curating)
SEED, an art collective in Chattanooga, TN will turn a gallery installation into a distance-collapsing intersection of social practice + collective action + time/site sensitive negotiations.

SEED is pleased to announce the participation/contribution by some fantastic collectives including Basekamp (Philadelphia), BLW, Common Places Project (Tampa), DeadTech (Chicago), Fugitive Projects (Nashville), Graffiti Research Lab (New York), Guerrilla Girls, InCUBATE-Chicago (Chicago), Mess Hall (Chicago), Paintallica (Washington), RTmark, TEAM LUMP (Raleigh), 6+ , and The Yes Men.

The motivation for BIN comes through a need to address the historical marginalization of artists and methods for overcoming this scenario. Each collective involved in this project is a vital model for alternative pathways, invention, action, and interdisciplinary approaches to making. This project is not predetermined. Instead of formulas, conventions, expectations, and objects - SEED is working with online relationships, and local negotiations. BIN will turn a gallery installation into a distance-collapsing intersection of diversity + social practice + collective action + time/site sensitive negotiations.

SEED is grateful to all the participants.
