Silver Ticket Project: Help Wanted
Saturday Nov 21st, 7-10pm
With unemployment numbers at 8.8% in New York City and topping 9% nationally, laid off workers are turning to their passions to find more meaningful work. Artist Erik Fabian wants to help, and luckily the Silver Ticket Project is hiring!
Join Erik Fabian, at the Open Space Gallery on Saturday, November 21st, from 7-10pm, for a performance constructed and delivered by fully paid labor. Erik asks the audience to consider the value of artistic labor in the midst of a once-in-a-lifetime economic crisis.
Erik Fabian is an artist working in performance, installation and conceptual art. For several years, in anticipation of the current economic crisis, Erik has been presenting work that explores notions of value; how we value art and the experience of performance; and how the perception of value changes during inflationary monetary periods. The Silver Ticket Project pair performances with simple commodities (like silver bullion) within marketplace environments in an attempt to establish a rational price for performance art. Erik is a graduate of the Master of Fine Arts program at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

On Saturday October 24th, 4-6pm, Patrick May will present the processes and ideas behind his recent body of work “Portrait Photo Considered Harmful”. His recent work uses digital techniques weave together gestures of documentation, craftsmanship, selection, and narrative. These juxtaposed layers of authority expose each other, causing the final images to question the notion of the artist as an individual speaker.
In keeping with the notion that the artwork is in a state of constant collaboration, the full source files of the artworks have been released under a Creative Commons license at http://hexane.org. Any interested parties are invited to examine, re-use, or appropriate any materials or techniques from the exhibition.
May received a BS in Studio Art from New York University in 1999. His work has been exhibited in New York, Miami, and Berlin, including Maiden Brooklyn, ZONE: Chelsea Center for the Arts, and the Galerie Scherer 8. He currently works in Brooklyn, NY creating intimate portraits of his friends and family.

When Parts of You Are Still Arriving

Victoria Stanton and Christian Richer will present a live performance of their current work-in-progress. Blending their two distinct, yet complimentary practices, this piece will be an inquiry into collaborative audio-visual and intertextual explorations.
With a background in narrative, relational, infiltrating, and visual performance, Stanton has lately been examining comprehensive states of “performative consciousness,” investing a “performative” presence within multiple spaces / times. Using video montages of taped public interpolations, within a live setting, she has been layering recorded and live performance to produce a composite presence – fractured, whole, congruent, in transition; at times obscured but nevertheless felt.
An emerging electro-acoustic composer and tape-deck performer, Richer combines analogue and digital technologies, building and deconstructing sound loops for audio recordings and live presentations. With field recordings from both urban and rural settings, he takes the seemingly mundane and transforms it into architecturally responsive, multi-textured environments, creating atmospheric (and at times unsettling) spaces with, and through, sound.
