Please join us for a special live audio performance by Kadet Kuhne on Saturday, April 12th for the closing of her exhibition The Way Through Kadet Kuhne is a media artist whose work spans the audiovisual spectrum. With the goal of forming somatic experiences which can prompt visceral responses to sound and movement, Kadet openly exposes the use of technology in her practice by employing fragmented, jump-cut edits and amplifying evidence of sonic detritus. This glitch aesthetic, contrasted with layered ambient reflection, is intended to heighten tensions between motion and stasis: a balanced yet heightened "nervous system" to reflect our own. Trained in jazz guitar, Kadet became attached to the instinctive nature of improvisation which led her to the California Institute of the Arts where she studied Composition and Integrated Media. As an award-winning filmmaker she has numerous shorts that have screened worldwide, and she also creates video & sound installations that involve a combination of motion sensors, customized software and online virtual space. Kadet's compositions twist signal processing, FM synthesis and neurological impulses into experimental electronic ambiences that make your cilia vibrate in curious patterns. Select exhibitions and performances include the Museum of Art Lucerne, LACMA, Musees de Strasbourg, de Young Museum, REDCAT, Museum of Contemporary Art-LA, San Francisco Arts Commission Gallery, SFMOMA, Highways Performance Gallery and the Antimatter Film Festival.

Krowswork was part of the Moving Image Art Fair in New York, March 7-10, 2013, presenting a new video work by Malak Helmy titled "Records from the Excited State, Chapter 3: Lost Referents of Some Attraction."
This work was produced/commissioned by the Gwangju Biennial (specifically curated by Wassan Al-Khudhairi). It recently screened as part of the Arsenal Berlinale Forum in February, curated by Stefanie Schulte Strathaus. The video is set in an area west of Alexandria, along the Egyptian coastline. This area, called the Alamein, is both the site of odd historical dislocations (Italian and German war monuments) as well as an itinerant tourist population that most of the year leaves these sites of "pleasure" abandoned. The event was held at the Waterfront Tunnnel, on 11th Avenue at 28th Street. More information here: moving-image.info. Below are a couple of installation shots. In the first one you can see the unique arrangement of the videos hanging in space, and the large opening night crowd. Helmy's video is in the center of the image. The second photo shows a close-up of Krowswork's "booth"!
