In her celebrated video art serial, Whispering Pines, video and performance artist Shana Moulton tells the ever-evolving story of Cynthia, an anxiety-ridden hypochondriac whose constant search for health and happiness leads her towards fad cures and new age kitsch, creating situations in turn comic, contemplative, and surreal. The mundane objects in Cynthia's world act as portals into her own overactive subconscious, wherein hallucinatory sequences explore the nature of material and spiritual concerns in contemporary culture.

For this latest installment, Moulton collaborates with composer-vocalist Nick Hallett to transform the work into an electronic chamber opera, woven out of pop melodies, extended vocal techniques, alternative sound controllers, and a flexible instrumentation performed by Hallett along with the soprano Daisy Press and harpist Shelley Burgon. Moulton stars as Cynthia, enveloped in her original multi-channel video design, which tackles the divide between low and high production values through the use of green-screen compositing and interactive technology.

Transhuman Conditions

January 29 – April 3, 2010
Arlington Arts Center, Arlington, VA

http://www.arlingtonartscenter.org/transhuman-conditions

Transhuman Conditions features ten artists thinking about the future of the human body. Their work reveals both fantasies and nightmares of radical changes on the horizon for all of us—from the promise of immortality; to the ability to augment or redesign one’s own brain, limbs, or skin; to the promise of escaping one’s body altogether, becoming pure intelligence floating free in a virtual world.

The Films of Shana Moulton
January 21, 8pm
The Cinefamily, Los Angeles, CA

Rising art star Shana Moulton comes to the Cinefamily for an evening of her uninhibited, life-affirming and psychoactive video works, including the highly confessional Whispering Pines series. As her alter ego "Cynthia", Moulton plays a sad, mute young woman whose ongoing attempts at blissful enlightenment through a variety of New Age tokens and techniques (reflexology, sound medicine, self-help tomes and plug-in waterfalls) is matched by the heavy, neon-colored saturation of her banal domestic surroundings (exercise videos, reclining chairs, Bioré nose strips and Crystal Light drink.) Throughout the series, the viewer never knows whether or not Cynthia achieves salvation, but for her, the journey itself is the prize, rather than the outcome. Using charming lo-fi video effects, Moulton has found true, arresting psychedelia buried in the Bodhi Tree aesthetic, creating images that linger with you beyond casual viewing. But she also goes light-years beyond a mere ironic, detached view of the "New Age type," portraying Cynthia as a genuinely desperate yet optimistic heroine, resulting in profound works that warm the spirit more than a hundred healing dream-catching dolphins from outer space. Shana will be here to perfom next to, in front of and within her videos live on the Cinefamily stage!

Running up that Hill
November 6
Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, San Francisco, CA

curated and presented by Michael Robinson
presented in association with the Headlands Center for the Arts
-----
Exploring states of psychological purgatory, journeys of spiritual flux and the possibilities of transcendence found in the act of getting lost, these episodes in the struggles and joys of the transient being are in turns haunting, hilarious, damning and hopeful. Running Up That Hill features Shana Moulton’s desert vision quest, Sand Saga; Ben Rivers’ foggy portrait of pilgrimage, The Coming Race; Jesse McLean’s reality television meltdown Somewhere Only We Know; Tsuji Naoyuki’s entrancing charcoal nightmare, Children of Shadows; Phil Solomon’s intervention into the Grand Theft Auto netherworld, Rehearsals for Retirement; an excerpt of Ryan Trecartin’s miasma of cloning, adoption and online identity, I-Be Area; and curator Michael Robinson’s most recent work, If There Be Thorns.

Purpling
October 16 - November 21
Gimpel FIls Gallery, London

In October 1440 the Breton Knight Gilles de Rais was hung in Nantes for murdering up to two hundred youngsters at his various stately homes around north-western France. In the early 1960s Niki de Saint Phalles shooting works helped to resuscitate her from serious nervous breakdown. Her Le Chateau de Gilles de Rais (1962) is a monstrous shooting piece made from clusterings of wide-eyed dolls in a wedding cake ensemble, with drips from her bullet wounds dribbling over the death-mask of the murderer de Rais. This altarpiece will hold court over a purple room full of curiosities.

Purpling is a verb from my lexicon that means to linger in a group in my purple-carpeted sitting room and unfurl after ungodly nights. We have to sit it out, talking in purple prose, sometimes in tongues, going with our frayed nerves and allowing the purple through our unsympathetic nervous systems until numbed endings are restored. Exaggeration, absurd chatter, poignant music, camaraderie and overwhelming dread are the ingredients that make up the healing process. With bruise-like purple walls (stirred up by Aleana Egan) and a lighting scheme much indebted to the Pitt Rivers Museum in Oxford, the artworks in Purpling could appear to be a tragic group, to borrow Vorticist Meryln Evans title. But Ken Russells film version of D.H. Lawrences Women in Love will help the sensibility to fall on just the right side of melancholic. Purpling is an attempt at a reenactment of my purple room at its most purple... from hungover to over-hung.
There will be body parts and laughs.

There will be some London knees, some sick religion, a dead pigeon, a Vorticists bird in flight, a dying man on stage, an overwrought ballerina, a discombobulated sort, a psychedelic meditation on big pharma logos, some doe eyes, some doom laden paint strokes, some bodies without will, a best Sunday dress and an oil slick. The ensemble will be bound together by the sound of the whimsical and darkly funny dance sequence from Russells Women In Love. The loop ends with a classic Lawrentian episode of man alone in nature: Alan Bates, playing Rupert Birkin, bleeding heavily from his head, rubs himself against dewy leaves and sloshes in muddy puddles to rid himself of any taint of all the ghastly falseness of cold blooded sophistication. We will only be able to hear gasps, splashes and the birds tweeting.

Purpling is the downstairs to Lucy Steins solo exhibition, Creemie Myopic Fables, upstairs. It will break all the rules of a good hang. A self made publication, The Invincible Summer Within, will accompany the two shows.

Scientists tend complicate their ideas. Fortunately, artists can explain us how the world works. A rocket can also be launched with a scrap car, laboratories need not be averse of eroticism and the big questions of life can easily be answered in three minutes.

Temple
October, 13 - November, 13, 2009
HDLU Ring Gallery
Trg z¹rtava fas¹izma bb, Zagreb, Croatia

Organized by the Croatian Association of Artists, HDLU, Curated by Branko Franceschi

With works by: Wolfgang Buchner (Austria) Tomislav Buntak (Croatia), Braco Dimitrijevic´ (Croatia), Julie Faure-Brac (France), Melih Görgün (Turkey), Christian Jankowski (Germany), Z¹eljko Kipke (Croatia), Saeri Kiritani (Japan/USA), Toine Klaassen (Netherlands), Zlatko Kopljar (Croatia), Davor Krelja (Croatia), Emanuela Marassi (Italy), Martina Mezak (Croatia), Kata Mijatovic´ (Croatia), Shana Moulton (USA), Trine Lise Nedreaas (Norway), Hermann Nitsch (Austria), Josip Zanki (Croatia).

Temple exhibition presented in the “Temple of arts” will focus on ubiquitous, but today neglected, interest of artists towards spiritual levels of reality, towards the expressions of its magical, mystical, ulterior, clandestine aspects. The exhibition will explore and present artists and artifacts inspired by the awareness and understanding of metaphysical fundaments of reality. The exhibition will show how the sole nature of artistic creation is the most suitable to expresses existential position of the human and his/her reality within the spiritual order of cosmos. The closeness of the artistic expression with notions and beliefs on the spiritual fundaments of reality, is best demonstrated by the fact that all the innovative art movements and disciplines that have influenced modern and postmodern era – itself marked by the supremacy of empiric cognition and science; have embraced vital spiritual component. Within the abstract art spiritual reveals itself through the realization of archetypal forms and mandalas, Zen inspired compositions or visions of cosmic systems. Spiritual is also present in the mystical and transcendental conceptualism, techno-spiritualism and ritual components of performance. Even stronger, spiritual realm is presented in figurative arts due the numerous and intense departures from realistic presentation towards the more expressive approaches or various integrations of figure with other planes of composition or building material itself. Thus constructed formal and/or cultural systems and standpoints demonstrate that spiritual is firmly and crucially embedded in the core of the ontological self-determination of human species.

Bringing together the work of eight international contemporary artists, "Alternative States" explores otherworldly, illusory conditions, transformations and marginal spaces. Challenging conventions and hierarchical structures, the works of art included in this exhibition offer symbolic inversions of, parallels to, and remedies for, the normal and real world. Imagining and then revealing other standpoints and subject positions, these artists provide portals to alternative states of being.

Mike Smith at The Building
June 16th 2009
the building
Platz der Vereinten Nationen 14A
Berlin, Germany

Michael Smith will present a selection of artists’ videotape portraits of people and places. After thinking how to organize a program drawing from works in the e-flux video library, Smith figured it best if he gathered pieces he already knew and liked. The works chosen offer depictions of individuals and situations experienced through objects, accessories, and ambient snippets, framed and captured with the detachment of a “fly on the wall” and/or the furtiveness of a thief. The program includes videos by Phyllis Baldino, Ronnie Bass, Roberto Bellini, Harry Dodge and Stanya Kahn, Joanna Malinowska, Shana Moulton, Stuart Sherman and Jason Simon.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Focus: Shana Moulton, plus performance and screening I've put together with Alex Bag, Jennet Thomas, Torsten Z. Burns and Darrin Martin, Desiree Holman, Michael Robinson, Stephanie Barber, Ola Vasiljeva and Ben Russell.
