As you may have guessed, Porch Projects is taking a much needed sabbatical for rethinking, retooling, and refocusing. Porch Projects has hopes of returning in the future, perhaps in new forms, as time and life permit.<br />
<br />
Many thanks to all those who have supported this project with their presence, artwork, creativity, and enthusiasm.

Many of the works in the exhibition (which range from painting to sculpture to performance documentation) focus on the human body as subject but extend beyond the figure itself to explore themes such as constraint, balance, extension, materiality, environment, and the artificial. The currents of meaning that run between and among these works raise questions about the methods, politics, and problems of bodily representation in our digital age.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Courier;"><br />

</div><div class="Body"><span style="font-family: Courier;">On a recent visit to Porch Projects, the Lab discovered a rift in the space-time-meaning continuum. Entering the rift, we encountered a space where nothing was as it should be. Common points of reference were fundamentally altered. Signs dissolved into signal. Things grew wings. Confronted by this proliferation of possibility, we tried to create a map of the rift. But our observations, instead of collapsing the multiple reality-potentials we saw into a single reality, further destabilized the system. Meanings mutated, mated and multiplied. When we came out of the rift, we compared our maps. Each was different. Each provided a different set of coordinates for the psychosemantic phenomena we experienced. And when we re-entered the rift, our maps were no longer accurate, could not guide us deeper, or assure us passage home. We realized we were in over our heads. That one map, or even two, could not provide the path we seek, could not create the sigil that we need to harness the powerful energies that the rift has unleashed. This is a mountain we draw the mountain it is not a mountain. And that is where you come in.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="Body"><br />
</div><div class="Body"><span style="font-family: Courier;">In order to understand the rift, we need a better map. We need a Map of Maps. We need you to enter the rift.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="Body"><br />
</div><div class="Body"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Courier;">*On Friday, November 4, the Lab will send pairs of volunteers into the rift to help us create this Map of Maps. Please join us by responding to this email, including your name, your partner’s name, and your choice of the following investigation times. Your entry into THE RIFT will thus be reserved.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div><div class="Body"><br />

Namely, what do you do when offered an opportunity as an artist? How does that navigation play out? Is there an appropriate level of deference towards alternative spaces that we are somehow violating? Is the artist as trickster/jester a pretty viable model within wider cultural production?<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="yiv2087503234msonormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">As for concepts of collaboration, I believe that we unpacked concepts of the individual within the collective, how that does and does not get made legible to outside parties, and how collaborative efforts relate to individual artist practices.</span></div><div class="yiv2087503234msonormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span></div><div class="yiv2087503234msonormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Q: Which of you wrote on which wall?</span></div><div class="yiv2087503234msonormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">PM: We’d rather not say. But I do think that this points to questions of collaboration posed above. Is there a need on the part of the viewer to try and unpack the roles/personalities within the collaboration? If so, why?</span></div><div class="yiv2087503234msonormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span></div><div class="yiv2087503234msonormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Q: Do you prefer the light to be on, or off?</span></div><div class="yiv2087503234msonormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">PM: I like it best with the sunlight coming in through the windows.</span></div><div class="yiv2087503234msonormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span></div><div class="yiv2087503234msonormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Q: “Me Too,” as in, “I second that”?</span></div><div class="yiv2087503234msonormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">PM: If you say so.</span></div><div class="yiv2087503234msonormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span></div><div class="yiv2087503234msonormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Q: The language in the two statements doesn’t make sense grammatically. How long did it take you to come up with these statements, and why the disconnect?</span></div><div class="yiv2087503234msonormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">PM: We chewed on the ideas for the collaboration for sometime: conceptualizing, negotiating, editing. As for the disconnect, I think that it mediates the combination phrases in some way—individualizes them, makes the relationship less seamless. Plus, I personally really like ideas of mistakenness in my work, not failure, but just doing things a little wrong.</span></div><div class="yiv2087503234msonormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span></div><div class="yiv2087503234msonormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Q: Did you consider doing something off-site? Is that what you’re doing now?</span></div><div class="yiv2087503234msonormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">PM: We thought about lots of potential projects for the space, including outside the gallery space proper. Right now we are in the conceptualization phase for future projects.</span></div><div class="yiv2087503234msonormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span></div><div class="yiv2087503234msonormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Q: Explain in more detail how your work here relates to the space.</span></div><div class="yiv2087503234msonormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">PM: I think it, if nothing else, calls attention to the space itself. From the physical dimensions, to Mariah’s generosity on embarking on the exhibition project, the fact that it is in her home, and even your own body in the gallery. I think that such concepts are usually saved for more institutionalized environments, but we found it more interesting and productive to employ them here.</span></div><div class="yiv2087503234msonormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span></div><div class="yiv2087503234msonormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Q: So, what would you have done with a bigger space? And given that space could be conceived of as a mental and verbal constraint, what does that say about the way you perceive your own work?</span></div><div class="yiv2087503234msonormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">PM: I’m not sure what we would have done with a bigger space, we did this project with this space. I am not trying to be dismissive, I just think that it is important to really emphasize that this is what we did. We could have filled the room with jello, installed a home office, hung some paintings, arranged some sculptures, or glued the door shut, but we didn’t do any of those things, we did this piece. Clearly the “If you wanted us to do something….” text suggests this question, but I think that burden of its answering should stay with the viewer.</span></div><div class="yiv2087503234msonormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />

</span></div><div class="yiv2087503234msonormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Q: What would Malcolm McLaren say?</span></div><div class="yiv2087503234msonormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">PM: I think he would tell us to come make a record with him. </span></div><div class="yiv2087503234msonormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span></div><div class="yiv2087503234msonormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Q: Is it about the question? What <i>is</i> the question?</span></div><div class="yiv2087503234msonormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">PM: What will we do next? </span></div><div class="yiv2087503234msonormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span></div><div class="yiv2087503234msonormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Q: But ultimately, <i>didn’t</i> you <i>do</i> something?<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="yiv2087503234msonormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">PM: Of course! That is part of the nuance I think. It’s like when Barltelby says he ‘would prefer not to’, he is of course doing something. But I think that that turn of phrase brings up ideas of how much do you need to do, what do you do when someone asks you to do something, if you can do anything which something do you do? </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Q: How do you think this project will influence your individual practices going forward? </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">PM: It has already made me think a lot about ideas of brashness, context specificity, and escapism through persona adopting. I also learned a lot through collaborating with Matias and look forward to more such adventures. I’d also like to very much thank Mariah for letting us explore our ideas and being supportive of our experimental attitude towards [ ], which has definitely led to growth for me.</span></div>Porch Projectshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04539384542783713590noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4337681215810937506.post-75930625242070433272011-09-19T16:14:00.000-04:002011-09-19T16:14:48.290-04:00All in All: Images<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Annie Albagli: Preservation Proclamation</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

“…with an eye made quiet by the power<br />
Of Harmony, and the deep power of joy,<br />
We see into the life of things.”<br />
-William Wordsworth, <i>Lines Composed a Few Miles above Tintern Abbey…</i><br />
<br />
Porch Projects’ fourth exhibition, All in All, will showcase the works of artists Annie Albagli and Megan Mueller. These two artists plumb the depths of the divide between two and three dimensions through the use of spare materials combined with imagery borrowed from the natural world. Their works hint at the secret, creeping force of Nature that at times seems counter to, yet always encompasses and includes, our own human activities. Nature overwhelms our senses with beauty, takes us out in an instantaneous blaze of glory, shakes us awake, and enfolds us in its green embrace.<br />
<br />
<b>Opening Reception: Saturday, September 17, 2011, 4:00-7:00 pm</b><br />
<b>Artists’ Discussion: TBA</b><br />
<b>Exhibition available by appointment at other times.</b><br />
<b>Email porchprojectsdc [at] gmail [dot] com for directions.</b><br />

Annie Albagli has exhibited her artwork around the world, including public projects in Israel, Boston, and Fort Worth, TX. She presented her work locally this summer in a solo exhibition at Pleasant Plains Workshop. She recently completed her tenure as Pyramid Atlantic’s Teaching Artist in Residence for 2010-2011. Learn more at http://anniealbagli.com/<br />
<br />
Megan Mueller’s work has been included in exhibitions at many locations throughout the region, including a recent Coup d’Espace project at Washington Project for the Arts and a solo exhibition in New York. She is preparing for a solo exhibition at Flashpoint Gallery in Washington, DC, in spring of 2012.<br />

Porch Projects’ second exhibition brings together the work of three area artists to explore issues of food politics and food culture. <b>Chanan Delivuk</b> (DC), along with collaborating team <b>Shannon Young</b> and <b>Jaimes Mayhew</b> (Baltimore), will showcase new works of sound, installation, performance, and social practice art. These works will consume the main Porch Projects space and spill into other areas of the house and backyard, reinforcing the social and peripatetic nature of eating. Taken together, these artists’ works will help viewers examine their own complex relationships with food, and how the acts of preparing and consuming a meal link us all to each other and the larger world.<br />
