About the Item
Lovelace’s Tribute
2018
sung by Christina Tsers
This installation is in honor of Ada Lovelace, generally recognized as the first computer programmer. Lovelace was the daughter of famed poet Lord Byron and had a deep fondness for him and his work.
Each drawer of the installation, when opened, sings part of a famous poem by Lord Byron, and corresponds to an ascending Solfège scale. The drawers of the cabinet will function as simple binary on/off switches mimicking the basic binary foundation of computer code. The participant will try to figure out the correct order the drawers need to be pulled out so the poem is recited correctly.
Ada Lovelace understood the potential of technology as a creative tool as evidenced by the following quote, “Supposing, for instance, that the fundamental relations of pitched sounds in the science of harmony and of musical composition were susceptible of such expression and adaptations, the engine might compose elaborate and scientific pieces of music of any degree of complexity or extent.”
Matti Havens
Matti Havens was born in the Netherlands and raised in the Finger Lakes region of New York. Furthermore, he has lived, studied and/or worked in Ecuador, Italy, South Korea, Switzerland and Poland. After earning his MFA in Sculpture from the Maryland Institute College of Art he had a six-month residency in Zurich, Switzerland in 2007. His work spans many mediums including sculpture, installation, video art, music, collage, screen printing, photography, painting, and performance art. He currently lives in Sunnyside, Queens, NYC.
Gregory Kramer
Gregory Kramer is a multidisciplinary artist working with sound and space. Taking inspiration from his archaeological curiosity of abandoned places and his interest in mythology, he searches for ghosts among the ruins and seeks to unearth evidence of forgotten histories through sound. His sound work uses field recordings, found materials, electronics, instruments and radio transmissions. His work was featured in the Sonom International Sound Art Festival, Mexico, and broadcast on BBC Radio 6’s Freakier Zone, Scotland’s Radiophrenia, Wave Farm Radio’s Short Waves, Long Distances, Norway’s Borealis Experimental Music Festival, France’s WebSYN Radio and Italy’s Helicotrema Festival. He performed “Vampire State Building” an 8-channel soundwork for RFG’s Sonic Arts program, and he recently composed for a dance piece performed at the Setia Darma Museum of Masks and Puppetry in Bali. He has done residency/workshops in Norway and South Africa and has album releases on Impulsive Habitat, International Winners and SONM Sound Archive of Experimental Music and Sound Art

- Liz Sweibel, Untitled (Scrapings #10), 2016, Wood, Paint, Found ObjectsBy Liz SweibelLocated in Darien, CTThe freestanding sculptures in this portfolio are made from the “sticks”: a pile of found wood that Sweibel has been pulling from to make new works since about 2002. The pile consisted of more than a dozen four- to seven-foot lengths of hardwood, each an uneven inch in depth and width. The sticks were warped, with worn yellow paint on one side and raw wood on the other three. Over the years she has painted the raw sides of the sticks, cut the wood into shorter lengths, and sliced paint off – and kept the residue from these actions. Sweibel has also made sculptures ranging from full-length sticks to tiny stick splinters. She built these sculptures using sliced-off paint. Timeworn materials and objects have an intelligence that the artist looks for and listens to. Shaping and reshaping material to find new form and elicit new insights in the material itself is the territory she is mining. The limitations of the process are its strengths. Her work is concerned with fragility, precariousness, adaptability, and strength. It is a visual response to powerful yet unseen forces - like wind and thoughts - that threaten, propel, ruin, and protect. Liz Sweibel is a multidisciplinary artist working in drawing, sculpture, installation, and digital photography and video. Her spare, personal language of abstraction transforms ordinary materials into statements about connectedness and responsibility: every action has an impact, the effects persist in space and over time, and we are accountable. By drawing attention to simple, ordinary “stuff of life” and referencing both shared and personal history, Sweibel’s work explores and reflects back fundamental experiences in response to our world and relationships. Her intention is to reinvigorate viewers’ awareness of the everyday – in its raw beauty and precariousness – in hopes that they might bring heightened senses of sight and care to their daily lives. Sweibel has participated in solo, two-person, and group exhibits in New York, Massachusetts, Maine, Connecticut, Michigan, and Tennessee since 1998. In 2016, Sweibel’s work was in the group shows Lightly Structured at Sculpture Space NYC, Precarious Constructs at the Venus Knitting Art...Category
