ACEROL, Ali
description: Into Africa
description: Acrylic on canvas
description: 72 x 53"
description: In this work an image of Africa, painted in black, is combined with a gold-colored image of Germany. The background of the painting is made up of several representations of hand gestures used in deaf sign language, a reference to the Nazi program which sterilized the deaf with the goal of creating a superior race. The gestures translate a story written by Rickels in the chapter, “Into Africa,” part of his book Nazi Psychoanalysis–Crypto Fetishism. The narrative surrounds an early female German pilot who was among the first to fly to Africa and whose biography was co-opted for propaganda purposes by the Nazis.

BARTON, Nancy
description: Fort Da Souvenir #3
description: Photograph and collage
description: 37 x 27"
description: The title of this work comes from the expression “Fort/da” which refers to the game Freud observed his eighteen-month old grandson playing. The child would repeatedly throw objects while saying “fort” (gone) and upon finding them say “da” (there). In this game, according to Freud, the child was staging and restaging the disappearance of his mother and this, in turn, was akin to processing a traumatic event. In Fort da Souvenir #3 Barton uses this work as a means of similarly processing the traumatic death of her brother Bruce Barton.

In the end, however, the portraits were reproduced as black-and-white images in the books. The title and doll figures in this portrait refer to an essay Rickels wrote called “Tot’s Tomb.” Of Nancy Barton, Rickels has said: “Barton’s ongoing work of mourning (or unmourning) inspired me to write about and with her. But what underwrites our collaboration of writing and light-writing is the hold the missing have on us and through us.”

description: In this triptych Nancy Barton makes a pun between the phrase “mom and dad” and mummy and dada. Like a child that rebels against her parents, Barton rebels against Dada, the pivotal avant-garde art movement from the early 20th c. that emphasized the absurd. By writing derogatory things in the books of famous French authors, George Ribemont-Dessaignes and Francis Picabia, both associated with Dada, Barton registers her disdain for the movement.

description: Untitled (computer sketch for Bottle Baby installation)
description: C-Print
description: 16 x20"
description: In Freudianism mourning allows an individual to fully divest themselves of the burden of grief and accompanying anxiety, allowing an individual to move on and fully embrace new experiences and people. In his writings, Rickels makes the case that the population of California suffers from an inability to mourn or even acknowledge death, which he refers to as “unmourning.” Unmourning is an important concept in both Rickels’ and artist Nancy Barton’s work. In a catalog essay Rickels writes about this work, part of an installation, stating that it “excavates a séance showdown between double aspects and agents of unmourning.”

description: Carson completed this work when she was teaching in Las Vegas in the 1990s. Las Vegas is what the artist characterizes as a “total here and now culture” where people can forget their past and pay no attention to the future. Carson found this ethos, along with a gratitude for life, reflected in Zen Buddhism, which she embraced following a health crisis. Study for Sandwich uses the same pop signage associated with Las Vegas and a pithy statement (“birth—thank you—death”) to encapsulate these concepts.

description: In her practice as a photographer, Laura London explores the inner life of teens. In the summer of 1996 London met and befriended Naomi, a punk rock teenager whom she photographed several times. London came to see that the tough and seemingly invulnerable person Naomi projected was actually masking a sweet, young girl. For Rickels, adolescents are representations of the unconscious, as they absorb and reflect all manner of mass media which in turn represents our secret wishes and desires. In an essay on London’s work, Rickels explains his thoughts, even co-opting a manner similar to the way teens typically talk: “London is an explorer of the Teen Age, you know the age, like, you know, I don’t know, the one we live in. The teen in our midst, the inner teen, is the measure and metabolism of what’s most pressing right now on the edge of the time to come.”

description: Day 23.5 is part of a series consisting of photographs taken in a spare bedroom in Perlman’s house. As in most of the pictures part of the series, this one shows the room filled with cardboard boxes, papers, packaging materials and other detritus, all of which have been formed into life-size figures Perlman posed in various ways. In different images they appear almost human as a result of their suggestive stances, while in others they look mechanical and menacing. With its resemblance to a dissembled machine, Day 23.5 demonstrates both the pure joy of creation, in working with whatever is at hand, and the artists’ skillful ability to suggest mood, character and even, possibly, narrative through his evocative works. The titles are sequential indicating that this photograph was made on the 23rd day of the project, and was the fifth photo of the day.

description: The uncanny is defined by the experience of something familiar and at the same time unfamiliar which instills a sense of unease and fear. These ideas find resonance with Jason Pilarski who, in the 1990’s, took inspiration from everyday objects such as office dividers, the sides of vans and plastic covers. While viewers may recognize their stylistic language as having been drawn from industrial design, their new context and reconfiguration give them an oddly confounding appearance which does not allow for easy identification or categorization.

SARKISIAN, Amy
description: Wall Zombie
description: Faux pearls, beads, sequins, pins, foam
description: Amy Sarkisian has always been fascinated by Halloween and the sight of children trick-or-treating. At one point in her career it inspired her to use the images of skulls and zombies. By placing these figures, normally seen in B-movies and Halloween decorations, within an art context, Sarkisian alludes to the difference between high and low culture. Moreover, she emphasizes the dialectic between the seductive and the repulsive by making these foul creatures and macabre objects out of faux pearls and sparkling beads.

description: Liz Young is interested in the body, the human condition and our relationship to nature. Young uses materials, often recycled, that evoke history, memory and nostalgia. In the two works Eagle and Deer, Young has covered figures of animals in nude colored fabric that simulates our own skin. By creating an extra skin for these animals Young refers to the human desire to modify, often drastically, our bodies and attempt to avoid aging.
