GAGA Exhibition Schedule -fall 2008 thru spring 2009

LAND OF THE LOST - Andrea Stanislav

Andréa Stanislav's new solo exhibition -- Land of the Lost -- is a site- specific multimedia installation created for the Main Gallery at GAGA. The installation is a dystopic “encampment” consisting of a sculptural formation of silver military tents. Each tent has its own sonic and lighting element that creates a rhythmic pattern of light and sound emanating from within each sculpture.

About the Artist

Andréa Stanislav is multimedia artist who lives and works in Minneapolis and New York City . Stanislav's body of work is inspired by the language of film, architecture and pop culture, and includes installation, sculpture, video, photography and sound.

Her installations create experiential environments exploring worlds we can see and worlds we can’t—but know intuitively are real. Stanislav’s work has been featured in numerous solo and group exhibitions around the world, including Shenyang , China ; Iksan , Korea ; Belfast , Ireland ; London , England ; San Diego , Miami , Minneapolis and New York City .

In Gallery B, Brooklyn- based, emerging artist Gail Heidel presents her installation -- Converge.

Converge is a two-part installation composed of 1123 modular bricks. The work references the contemporary condition of interconnectivity, the reliance on systems and the dualities found within these ideas through the metaphor of the cityscape.

The opening reception will be on Friday, November 7th, from 6 to 9PM,

with a special live performance by:

Gamelan Son of Lion - at 7 and 8 PM

Gamelan Son of Lion is a new music repertory ensemble based in downtown New York City specializing in contemporary pieces written for the instruments of the Javanese gamelan. Gamelan Son of Lion's instruments were built in village style by Barbara Benary using steel keys, cans for resonators, hubcaps for kempul, etc. There are about one hundred active gamelan ensembles in the United States at the current time. Gamelan Son of Lion now rates among the oldest of these, having performed continuously since 1976. It is also one of the few in this country which operate independently of institutions as a professional music ensemble.
