EXHIBITIONS

VANISHING ART, An Intimate Festival of What May Be - August 24-28, 2011
The Vanishing Art Festival will gather a community of visual and performance artists, as well as poets, philosophers, and thinkers of all kinds, to explore and practice the "poeticization" of life and art. The aim is to quicken the return of a more hermetic, cosmological, and magical imagination to life's meaning and to the culture of art. Our festival will explore the vanishing nature of art and its many hidden meanings through salons, poetic actions, social sculpture, music, and a variety of interactive means.

Artists Include: Robert Kelly, Dorothea Rockburne, David Levi Strauss, Carolee Schneemann, Drew Dellinger, Wendy Tremayne, Phong Bui, Raymond Foye, Sterrett Smith, Charles Stein, Bisan Toron, Fred Johnson, Robin Becker, Yuval Ron, Yakov Rabinovich, Meryl Gross, Charlotte Mandell, George Quasha, Susan Quasha and Pir Zia Inayat-Khan. Christopher Bamford and Peter Lamborn Wilson will host.

Words, Images, and The Framing of Social Reality
Monday April 18th 2005 at The New School Graduate Facultys Department of Liberal Studies, a spring interdisciplinary conference.
Location: 65 Fifth Ave. New York City

The Vomitorium will be presented in the Art and Image portion of the conference through a 15 minute presentation: Session #4, 4:00pm to 5:15pm Location: The Wolff Conference Room

Words and images are the conceptual tools used to frame our understanding of social reality. Oftentimes, these words and images unify our understandings of a concept to be classified as truth. Nevertheless, there are also instances when this truth is not objective, but merely a veiled fantasy incapable of fully describing the complexity of the situation it attempts to define. Thus, simulated and psuedo-concrete imagery such as extreme religiosity, political propaganda, mass media, nationalism, etc. are perhaps only manageable, yet illusory attempts of filling this conceptual void. Are we then slaves to the fantasy and seduction of words and images, or, subjects vying to redefine them? This interdisciplinary conference will explore the relationship and tension between imagery, metaphor, and rhetoric in creating, maintaining, and framing social reality(s).
