Joshua Churchill & Larnie Fox:
'Reverse Flow'
October 12 - November 9, 2001
Open Thursday ~ Sundays, 3-8 pm.
In Joshua Churchill and Larnie Fox's kinetic installations for Pond,
simple materials, everyday objects, and antiquated technologies (alarm
clock, radio, tv's, submarine propellers, bamboo, copper) are equipped
with light, sound, and motion sensors forming two separate
environmentally-responsive systems. Set off by incidental stimuli (the
sound of laughter, a passing ambulance siren, the motion of a passersby)
and in turn each other, the installations sonically express the syntax
of circumstance, the morphology of chance, thereby replacing the
objects' former functionality and utilitarian purpose with new meaning.
Inspiring admiration for the beauty and sound produced by the mechanical
contraptions, the works' mechanical brilliance humiliates the digital,
as Fox puts it. He points out that both his and Churchill's work
explore the logic of how something works rather than what something
looks like-a contrary logic in today's Digital Age that privileges
surface and screen. 'But after all, it's always been the role of art to
be contrary . . . '
