bitforms gallery

This is the gallery that represents Golan Levin’s work, some of which we saw in class.

bitforms gallery is devoted to emerging and established artists who embrace new media and contemporary art practice – resulting in new languages and artistic experiences.”

The show is titled Unpredictable Forms of Sound and Motion. If you click on “Exhibitions,” you can view the current show. There are photos and video of pe lang + zimoun’s Untitled Sound Objects, and photography, video and sculpture from the Tim Knowles “Walk” series. The Untitled Sound Objects repurpose items that make noise in what seems to be a repetitive fashion, and the sounds almost demand attention. Tim Knowles’ work creates art from out of information gathered from the outside world. His bio states that he “incorporates chance operations and performance into his mark making” and uses otherwise unnoticed phenomena as the data to help create his work.

I enjoy both art that uses repurposed items in interesting ways as well as art that points out or reminds us of those sorts of little things that surround us but we usually just tune out. I won’t bore you with extended descriptions of these projects, but you can check out more than what’s on the gallery site at http://www.timknowles.com or http://www.untitled-sound-objects.ch/.
