WEBFaces' Cartography, The code of cheek to cheek, ... > Many Faces of Eve
Regina Celia Pinto:
Dear all,
I would like to invite you to visit my new electronic, colorful and
ilustrated book "Many Faces of Eve" at: http://arteonline.arq.br/eva/
Below ten reasons to show you why you have to visit "Many Faces of Eve". ;-)
This book is:
1- An almost pop provocative work about gender
2- The code of cheek to cheek
3- The apple in the dark - Clarice Lispector
4- The semiotic of the woman who thinks that is dressed with elegance
but...
5- The Adam rib and how I almost could be another woman...
6- Eve got the grape
7- Venus, Body, Image, Myth
8- Face is language, face is information
9- WEBFaces' Cartography
10- Myself as Saint Clara, according Marcelo Frazão.
Now, more seriously:
"Many Faces of Eve" (http://arteonline.arq.br/eva/ ) closes the circle which
I started last year with "The Milky Way"
(http://arteonline.arq.br/via_lactea/ ) and continued with "Alice in the
Wonderbalcony", Sheep's Parade and the series of collaborative reviews of
the 2005 museum newsletter.
Key words of "Many Faces of Eve": WOMEN, IDENTITY, GENDER, HUMOR
Resolution: 1024 X 768, Flash Player 7.0, available pop up windows
Constructive criticism will be welcome!

NET:REALITY

Artwork by: Simon Biggs, Glorious Ninth, Neil Jenkins,

Blurring the boundaries between the tangible gallery
and the transitory Internet, Net:Reality merges the
ethereal notions of cyber space with the aesthetics of
a physical exhibition. Seven leading UK artists
engaged in Internet and New Media practice have been
commissioned to create artworks that simultaneously
exist virtually and physically.
Rather than having a 'theme' for the artworks, the
common denominator is the media itself and the
unifying connections between the web (Net) and the
physical (Reality) elements of the compositions. The
artists in Net:Reality have each interpreted and
implemented the amorphous relationships between these
distinct spaces to create an exhibition of artworks
diverse in concepts and aesthetics - harnessing the
Internet and the gallery environment to investigate
subjects ranging from emerging technologies to social
science.

A Measure of Anacoustic Reason

Turning a Deaf Ear
A Measure of Anacoustic Reason--by Raqs Media Collective--is an installation that registers a process of thinking about forms of reasoning that insulate themselves from listening. The installation sees the act of 'turning a deaf ear', as the unwillingness or inability to listen to the voices that refuse to be accommodated into the master narratives of progress, of instrumental reason and the domestication of space through the geomancy of corporations and nation-states. The visitor is invited to undertake his/her own audit of anacoustic reasoning through a meditation on a series of dialogues and rebuses that encrypt a set of paradoxes about the grandiose follies of seeking to rule the world by not listening to it.
A Measure of Anacoustic Reason is an installation consisitng of 1 projector, 4 screens, 4 dialogues, 4 lecterns and a lightbox. It was shown at ICon: India Contemporary at Venice Biennale 2005 (14 June-31 July, 2005)
Raqs Media Collective is produced at the Sarai Media Lab, Delhi and
at Montalvo Arts Center, Saratoga.
