New
Humans' Pep Rally will rouse the halls of the Armory. So come
visit with the S I and the New Humans at the Armory to find
out when their next happening will occur!
New Humans performances are characterized by graphic visual
elements that nod to minimalist sculpture and Op-Art, intersected
with experimental music as a complete synesthetic experience.
Each installation is an investigation of the exhibition space;
the orientation of the performer and viewer; and the relationship
between space, time, sound, and color. Their physical installations
spatialize and reference the patterned and fractured sound
compositions. The minimalist impulse coupled with deconstructive
tendencies create raw and improbable compositions of disparate
tones, noise and color. Repetitive patterning, collapse of
boundary and object, and the unraveling of seriality over
time are continuing visual and aural motifs.
In addition to the S I Armory booth project, on Friday, March
12, New Humans will perform a new site-specific project at
the S I featuring a design collaboration by Mika Tajima and
United Bamboo:

Formed in 2003, the group has performed at The Sculpture
Center, Maccarone Inc., and recently at Gavin Brown's
Passerby for "New Cheese Human Burger Mashup Trashup".
As a group, New Humans have produced collaborative works
including video, large-scale installations, limited-edition
artworks, and
sound recordings, as building block elements toward
a complete synesthetic life.
