The Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation is launching an exciting new program
in 2011-2012 featuring some of the best independent American films being

filmmakers throughout the mid-Atlantic region. In addition to screenings, the
filmmakers will be available for outreach activities in the host communities.
The Foundation will partner with arts councils, colleges and universities,
community arts centers, film festivals, museums, performing arts centers,

Swiss artist Alexander Hahn presents a live narrated screening of his interactive video, Luminous Point! Luminous Point is an interactive video about memory. Memory both human and artificial. Navigating per remote control, the viewers explore a digital recreation of the artist’s Lower East Side tenement apartment—a virtual wunderkammer and archive in which distant places and different times, personal biography and cultural history, fact and fiction all coexist just like in the mental space of memory. Alex has worked at ETC and been awarded Finishing Funds grants, as well as Individual Artists Awards from the NYS Council on the Arts. Take a look at a guided tour of the work at http://vimeo.com/903246

The Center is pleased to host the residency of Montreal-based media artist Katherine Liberovskaya (http://www.liberovskaya.net/) and new music performer and producer Al Margolis (http://www.soniccuriosity.com/sc113.htm). In addition to Liberovskaya’s art practice in single-channel and installation work she has concurrently been involved in the programming and organization of diverse media art events, notably with Studio XX in Montreal (programming coordinator 1996-1998, president 2001, Espace Vidéographe, Montreal, as well as Experimental Intermedia, NY and the OptoSonic Tea series at Diapason in NYC. Al Margolis has been an activist in the 1980s American cassette underground through his cassette label Sound of Pig Music, and co-founder of experimental music label Pogus Productions.

Nick Hallett and  Shana Moulton present an original one-act opera titled Whispering Pines 10 at The Kitchen on April 16 and 17.

The work 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, video and performance artist Shana 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.

Whispering Pines 10 was made possible with support from the Harvestworks Artist In Residence Program and with Experimental Television Center Finishing Funds, funded by the New York State Council on the Arts, a state agency.  The Kitchen’s presentation of Whispering Pines 10 was made possible with the support of the Jerome Foundation, The Greenwall Foundation and with public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs and the New York State Council on the Arts, a state agency.
