The MAP Presents: Off The Map | Enacting Exhausted Language / Exhausting Enacted Language
An Artist Talk by Curt Cloninger
New media artist and UNC Asheville assistant professor Curt Cloninger
will discuss his art work and related research. Cloninger's art
undermines language as a system of meaning in order to reveal it as... an
embodied force in the world. His materials are spoken words, sounds,
hand-written words, lines, objects coupled with words, objects as
words, light, and time. He orchestrates these materials using video,
software, performances, installations, and networks. By layering,
restructuring, hashing, eroding, exhausting, and (dis)splaying
language, he causes language to perform itself until its "meaning" has
less to do with what it denotes and more to do with how it behaves.
This talk is in conjunction with Cloninger's upcoming performance at
Black Mountain College Museum and Arts Center on November 29.
Curt Cloninger is an artist, writer, and Assistant Professor of
Multimedia Arts & Sciences at the University of North Carolina
Asheville. His work has been featured in the New York Times, ABC World
News, and at festivals and galleries from Korea to Brazil. Exhibition
venues include Digital Art Museum [DAM] Berlin, L'Instituto de México à
Paris, Living Arts of Tulsa, and The Art Gallery of Knoxville.
Cloninger also maintains http://lab404.com, http://playdamage.org, and
http://deepyoung.org in order to facilitate a more lively remote
dialogue with the Sundry Essences of Wonder.
