MFA LRVS Lecture: Marina Zurkow
Jul 29, 2015 6:30 PM – 8:00 PM
The Low-Residency MFA in Visual Studies welcomes Marina Zurkow for a discussion of her work as part of the 2015 Summer Graduate Visiting Artist Lecture Series.
Crossing multiple disciplines with her practice, Marina Zurkow builds animations and participatory environments that are centered on humans and their relationship to animals, plants and the weather. Engaging audiences using film and video, sculpture, print graphics and public interventions, Zurkow’s work is by turns humorous and contemplative. Through the experience of her projects it is clear that nature has long been a stage upon which we project ourselves, making ourselves other.
Zurkow’s recent series “Friends and Enemies” mines the intersection of bias, inclusion, and kinship in our relations with other species. “Necrocracy” reconstructs the role of hydrocarbons in contemporary landscape and questions the inherited Romantic-era division between the natural and the human. “Crossing the Waters” focuses on climate change and considers catastrophe, picturing ways to imagine nature within us, and nature without us.
In 2011 a solo exhibition of Zurkow’s work was featured at the Montclair Art Museum. Past exhibitions of her work have also been featured at FACT, Liverpool; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington D.C.; Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; Wave Hill, New York; National Museum for Women in the Arts, Washington D.C.; Bennington College, Vermont; Borusan Collection, Istanbul; Pacific Northwest College of Art, Oregon; Marian Spore, New York; 01SJ Biennial, San Jose; Brooklyn Academy of Music; Museum of the Moving Image, New York; Creative Time, New York; The Kitchen, New York; Ars Electronica, Linz, Austria; Transmediale, Berlin; Eyebeam, New York; Sundance Film Festival, Utah; Rotterdam Film Festival, The Netherlands; and the Seoul Media City Biennial, Korea, among others.
Marina Zurkow is the recipient of a 2011 John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Fellowship. She has also been granted awards from the New York Foundation for the Arts, New York State Council for the Arts, the Rockefeller Foundation, and Creative Capital. She is on faculty at NYU’s Interactive Technology Program (ITP), and lives in Brooklyn, New York. www.o-matic.com

MFA Central Gallery
Rhonda Vanover: Between Here and Gone
These photographs present a sublime finish to what has been taken away. My mark making invites the viewer to see what I see: beauty at its end. This revolving door is one of continuous loss: a willingness to give in and succumb to the end. My photographs, while not inviting in the conventional sense, are an invitation nonetheless.
I am intrigued by the mundane and the unusual. How object and body are defined. I look at the everyday life that goes by, eventually ending in our own mortality. My interest is to persuade the viewer into this act of looking. To see the essence of what is left behind, oscillating between the real and the memorial.
Combining photographs and installation techniques I seek to create an unresolved tension between presence of object and absence of being. These intentionally disorienting, introspective, and visceral pieces continue the questions I always seek to ask.
Gallery 214
Jeanne Roderick: The Space Between
I am interested in the way looking and seeing work, how viewers bring narratives to their way of looking. The objects I make seek to destabilize expectations of what people imagine or want art works to be. My current work is about how meaning is made, knowledge is transmitted and the relationship of art to culture. Culture is shaped by the structures developed to support our values, including language.
Books and works of art, both considered objects of knowledge in the past, now exist in a digitally connected world chiefly as objects of the search. The current bewildering combination of words and images heaped upon us daily reflect how historical distinctions between art and media and culture are dissolving. Language in this zone is rendered mute and representation is erased and textual structures reduced to blind alleyways.
My work asks that a viewer look closely and spend time with objects that are both recognizable and foreign, formal and narrative, ancient and contemporary while observing the multi-dimensional, infinite spaces and surfaces that shift in color, texture and light. I want to invite the viewer to contemplate social expectations and the constructed “idea” of a work of art as more than the object itself.
Higgins Gallery
Jill Sattler: Haiyan
Through storytelling my art crosses the threshold of animated space, watercolor, sound and community collaboration. I am interested in how we navigate the spaces where we dwell, both domestic and social. Animation allows me to critically investigate this orientation and explore how it affects our experience and understanding of the world. Such investigation not only allows me to analyze why we are oriented in certain ways, it also allows me to determine my own orientation. My art engages with the viewer through animated space to both define and redefine our habitations. I incorporate objects that tie together the threads of the philosophy behind phenomenology while looking at how we can understand our personal orientations towards the world and how we have the power to shift perception.

MFA LRVS Lecture: Marina Zurkow
Jul 29, 2015 6:30 PM – 8:00 PM
The Low-Residency MFA in Visual Studies welcomes Marina Zurkow for a discussion of her work as part of the 2015 Summer Graduate Visiting Artist Lecture Series.
Crossing multiple disciplines with her practice, Marina Zurkow builds animations and participatory environments that are centered on humans and their relationship to animals, plants and the weather. Engaging audiences using film and video, sculpture, print graphics and public interventions, Zurkow’s work is by turns humorous and contemplative. Through the experience of her projects it is clear that nature has long been a stage upon which we project ourselves, making ourselves other.
Zurkow’s recent series “Friends and Enemies” mines the intersection of bias, inclusion, and kinship in our relations with other species. “Necrocracy” reconstructs the role of hydrocarbons in contemporary landscape and questions the inherited Romantic-era division between the natural and the human. “Crossing the Waters” focuses on climate change and considers catastrophe, picturing ways to imagine nature within us, and nature without us.
In 2011 a solo exhibition of Zurkow’s work was featured at the Montclair Art Museum. Past exhibitions of her work have also been featured at FACT, Liverpool; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington D.C.; Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; Wave Hill, New York; National Museum for Women in the Arts, Washington D.C.; Bennington College, Vermont; Borusan Collection, Istanbul; Pacific Northwest College of Art, Oregon; Marian Spore, New York; 01SJ Biennial, San Jose; Brooklyn Academy of Music; Museum of the Moving Image, New York; Creative Time, New York; The Kitchen, New York; Ars Electronica, Linz, Austria; Transmediale, Berlin; Eyebeam, New York; Sundance Film Festival, Utah; Rotterdam Film Festival, The Netherlands; and the Seoul Media City Biennial, Korea, among others.
Marina Zurkow is the recipient of a 2011 John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Fellowship. She has also been granted awards from the New York Foundation for the Arts, New York State Council for the Arts, the Rockefeller Foundation, and Creative Capital. She is on faculty at NYU’s Interactive Technology Program (ITP), and lives in Brooklyn, New York. www.o-matic.com
