Sara will present two bitingly humorous short films that traverse the often unrecognized territory between the stories we choose to tell and the absurdities of everyday life. Through surreal scenarios and a witty visual language\, Sara emphasizes the unremarkable in a remarkably engaging way. \nMy Angelic Puss (Min Englefisse) begins as an intimate and unorthodox portrait of a cat\, and transforms into a conversation about the murky\, complex processes that surround the film’s own making. The film wanders through realms of routine\, poetry\, and the ethics of art. \nNews from New York follows an artist’s quest to understand the narrative of a large scale film production from the position of an extra on set. \nJoin us as we delve into the amusing and eclectic ordinary through the eyes and observations of the brilliant and hilarious Sara Sjölin![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_separator][vc_column_text] \nProgram \n[/vc_column_text][vc_separator][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_column_text css=””] \nNews From New York\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]2024[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]In News from New York\, an artist is requested to be an extra shooting video inside a large scale film production replica of the American Museum of Natural History constructed in Brighton Beach.

Sjölin’s work process is characterized by a literary mapping of these relationships and stories in a very direct way where a balance is formed between poem\, fiction\, and reality.

To celebrate the installation’s closing\, we invite folks to mingle and take time with the work and to engage in an artist walkthrough that gives a short introduction to each piece on display.  \nMike Clemow roots their practice in field recording\, photography\, drawing\, improvisation and writing\, creating speculative sites that invite audiences to question entrenched binary distinctions. Their presented works investigate the boundaries between human and non-human\, animate and inanimate\, nature and culture. Clemow’s installation at UNDO\, entitled Bill of Lading (6)\, problematizes notions of extraction and objecthood by placing visual and sonic images that have been taken from Amazonia\, Brazil up against formal acknowledgements of receipt (the “bill of lading”) from the galleries or institutions where the work is installed. Their multi-channel performance on the 12th\, Fire-Fish Nesting in a Burning Bush\, will provide a more-than-real encounter with their layered soundscape creations derived from field recordings.  \nLisa Schonberg’s compositions bring her deep engagement with ecological systems into a sonic landscape\, combining her background in entomology and in-depth field research with an attuned percussionist’s ear. Her recent work includes participatory installations and performances that seek to challenge our assumptions about overlooked life forms and reveal the complex auditory world embedded in our natural surroundings. Schonberg’s installations on display in our gallery\, an artist book and album from her project Old Growth Playback and a listening station and prototype from Refuges for Ants\, speculate on future relationships between humans and ecological environments\, whether old-growth forests or ant nests. In the field\, Schonberg has been developing compositional systems that engage with the sounds of insects and their surroundings — the evening event will feature a program of her site-specific musical compositions and sonic experiments that engage streams\, forests\, and insects. Schonberg’s work was supported by residencies at Wave Farm and HJ Andrews Experimental Forest\, and the Media Arts Assistance Fund\, a regrant partnership of NYSCA and Wave Farm with the support of the Office of the Governor & NYS Legislature.  \nTogether\, Clemow and Schonberg offer a profound exploration of sound\, space\, and ecological sciences\, encouraging participants to engage with their surroundings in new\, embodied\, and thought-provoking ways. We’ve been so excited to put their respective works into conversation here in Ridgewood the past few months. Come out to celebrate this show and their work with a final hurrah![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_separator][vc_column_text] \nProgram \n[/vc_column_text][vc_separator][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_column_text css=””] \nBill of Lading (6) (installation)\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]19 mins\, 2017-[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]Bill of Lading consists of a list of visual and sonic “images” that have been extracted from Amazonia as a result of the artist’s process of making field recordings and photography. Each time the work is shown\, the artist documents its importation to that gallery or museum\, providing all the necessary translations or transformations\, and requires a receipt from the gallery as documentation of carriage and receipt of these items\, which will be included in the next showing. Thus the work accumulates documentation tracing these materials from Amazonia to their current location via the acknowledgement of previous institutions in which it has been displayed. There is a stipulation that the work cannot be shown in two places at once\, as it is only complete with the documentation of its previous location. This will be the sixth importation/exhibition of the work.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_column_text css=””] \nFire-Fish Nesting in a Burning Bush (performance)\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]11 mins[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_column_text css=””] \nOld Growth Playback (installation)\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]2024[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_column_text css=””] \nRefuges for Ants (installation)\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]2023[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_column_text css=””] \nLookout Creek (performance)\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]5:25 mins\, 2024[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]A selection from Old Growth Playback (2024). \nThis work is modeled after HJA resident Leah Wilson’s work\, Ambient (2014)\, which hangs on the wall outside the apartment I stayed in at HJA. Andrews researcher Fred Swanson suggested that I create an audio piece based on her approach. Leah had examined and represented the reflections of light and color in and around a small stone placed in the stream. I became excited about this idea of looking at one physical space and taking readings/documentation of the myriad of sonic textures\, pitches and combinations that can occur in that one point – and thus making a tangible representation of what might ordinarily seem like a indecipherable stream of noise. Through this work I have thought about the immense musicality of stream acoustics\, how we might grow more familiar with each stream site’s acoustic details through isolation and repetition. I re-visited Leah’s approximate sampling site on Lookout Creek\, at the water gage. I placed a Hydrophone in one spot on a flat rock at the stream bottom\, and took one 10 second recording every two minutes. From each 10 second sample\, I extracted 4 recordings of eighth-note value at set points across samples\, and built a loop of each eighth note set. The composition begins with the 1st sample’s loop\, and moves through each subsequent loop\, with sections of overlap between each consecutive pair. I did not effect or process the sounds beyond using an equalizer and adding a touch of reverb. Anthony Brisson did the final mastering of this work.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_column_text css=””] \nOld Growth Playback (performance)\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]4:36 mins\, 2024[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]A selection from Old Growth Playback (2024). \nWhat will old-growth forests of the future sound like?
