The exhibition functions as a backdrop to new connections and conversations. Focus is drawn to the dialogues that are sparked when people come together to experience art. The interdependence of a shared personal experience ​is mirrored by the interdependence of the works.–Feiya Zhang @duck_feiKyrin Chen @xxchecxMoritz Tibes @moritztibesSasha Ercole @ercolesashaVi Trinh. @v_trinh–Curated by Antoin Sharkey @antoinsharkeyThe Wishing Well April 24, 2022Interactive Internet PieceShall Make, Shall Be: Two Evenings of Online Artist Talks by Game CreatorsApril 5, 2022 5:00 PM–April 6, 2022 7:00 PMOnline (Streaming on YouTube)REGISTER HERE to RECEIVE THE STREAM LINK!Join us online for two evenings of rapid-fire presentations by the artists of Shall Make, Shall Be — a group residency initiative by the STUDIO to develop interactive game-artworks about the U.S. Bill of Rights!Conceived by STUDIO curator-in-residence R. Luke DuBois, the Shall Make, Shall Be initiative commissioned ten artists, game designers, and collectives to create a series of interactive games — each focusing on one of the first Ten Amendments to the U.S. Constitution. From 5-7pm EST on April 5th and 6th, 2022, these artists will give brief presentations about their projects and creative practices. All presentations will be streamed live online via YouTube, and will include Q&A with the artists and organizers. To receive the URL for the event’s YouTube stream, please register here.The commissioned artists were selected through an open call, and include arts.codes (Margaret Schedel and Melissa F. Clarke); Peter Bradley; Danielle Isadora Butler; Broken Ghost Immersives (Arnab Chakravarty and Ian McNeely) and Moaw!; Cherisse Datu and Latoya Peterson; Ryan Kuo; Andy Malone; Shawn Pierre; Vi Trinh; and Lexa Walsh.The Shall Make, Shall Be initiative makes space for artists to engage an explicitly polemical curatorial question: how can we use play to investigate, problematize, and re-frame the documents that serve as the foundation of U.S. political experience? Presented as interactive installations, the artists’ games take familiar forms—puzzles, arcade games, and popular video game genres, among others. Unlike many games, the commissioned works provide their players with a unique opportunity to consider the underpinnings of what it means to be an American.Click here for more informationAn NFT Called Tyrian Purple2022Interactive Internet PieceFlop2022Interactive Internet pieceThe Algorithmic Dragon Holds its Own Leash2022Interactive Internet ArtThe Yellow-Bellied Chicken Beats the Cash Cow2022Interactive Internet PieceIt’s not crocs.  it’s timeless, it’s LindyPlease join us on 16 March for ‘It’s not crocs, It’s timeless, It’s Lindy’, a hybrid image and lecture performance. The event will feature a talk by Ben Burbridge, Professor, Co-Director of the Centre for Photography and Visual Culture at the University of Sussex and author of ‘Photography After Capitalism’ (2020, Goldsmiths Press / MIT Press). The lecture performance is situated within the site of a permanently closed Peacocks department store in Catford, South London. It centers around speculative futures, collaborative learning models, and alternatives to privatised and deregulated Higher Education. At a time where institutional models are being challenged across the country, current industrial strike actions brought about by educators and staff have allowed a platform for a collective reimagining of what the possibility of education may look like in future. This project was conceptualized and created by Kyrin Chen, Sasha Ercole, Moritz Tibes, Vi Trinh and Gabriela Avila Yiptong.futures_afterIn Futures_after, you are invited to become part of an open-ended dialogue – that of navigating our world manifested from individual and mutual needs, wants, hopes and fears. To ask what a post-industrial world could look like and to face, head-on the disparate, social, economic and emotional possibilities that we are living through.In this communal space the artists present their interactions, through performances, participatory practices, film and installation, their art as not only product but reflections of living in this time of hyper consumerism. They collectively ask – what alternative modes of exchange are possible, even when the archetype of the artist itself has been swallowed up and compartmentalized during capitalism.The works offered here give an ‘other’ view of contemporary art, as conversation and interaction… and whilst they may not dare to offer any solutions, merely by exhibiting this work in a former retail space, the act of ‘being’ in a building, a shared commons is created. This group of artists are not preaching a manifesto but attempting to offer something consequential… an alternative portal perhaps.The residency and the exhibition has been made possible with the support from Hypha Studios, Arts Council England, Lewisham Council, London Borough of Culture 2022, European Union, HM Government and Exhibitions Hub at Goldsmiths, University of London. @futures_afterPuppet Raised Whooping CranesInstallation, Video, SculptureSources:International Crane FoundationChina Global Television Network – Caregivers wear puppetglove to train endangered birds go back to the wildGeorgia Public Broadcasting – Journey of the Whooping CraneNat Geo Wild – Raising Baby Whoopers United States of AnimalsNational Fish and Wildlife Foundation – Flight to Survive:Saving Whooping CranesZooBorns – Four Endangered Whooping Cranes Released intothe Wild Thanks to Conservation PartnershipAtlantis Play ThroughAtlantis is the third piece in the “The Bunker Series” it’s a 3D modeled interactive with narration and music. Atlantis takes place in the future under the sea in a post-apocalyptic refugee shelter. Inspired by Plato’s Atlantis, the work of Michel Foucault and Sartre, Atlantis is an optimistic outlook on a post-apocalyptic future.  Atlantis is a response to American capitalism and hyper-individualism, capitalism assumes that people’s primary motivation is greed and at the same time promotes greed in a self-fulfilling prophecy. Instead, Atlantis tries to form an socio-economic political system built on the assumption of compassion starting with visual design and extending to the A.I. The first two pieces in the series were dour, critical, and satirical; in the current Covid-19 epidemic it would be irresponsible of this series to not offer a solution, if not a solution then hope, and if not hope then comfort.If you enjoy the content or want to support this work consider buying a USB drive with the game, narration dialog, Plato’s Atlantis, Map of Atlantis, Ending Credits Video, and Digital Atlantis Booklet with narration, quotes, images, tips, and extra content.  $20.00 for US shipping $25.00 for international shipping.  Email [email protected] if you’re interested.https://vtrinh.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Post-Grad-Artist-Talk2020.mp4Target Gallery – Post-Grad Artist TalkPost-Grad Exhibition – Target GalleryTarget Gallery, the contemporary exhibition space at Torpedo Factory Art Center, celebrates the work of the four artists  in the 2020 Post-Grad Residency Program: Ashley Llanes, Luis A.
