Dialogue Series

Xylor Jane & EE Miller

Xylor Jane's work draws on mathematical algorithms to make intricate and staggering installations. Deriving her patterns from often basic arthimetic exercises (such as the Fibonacci Series or prime numbers), she deals in both complexity and simplicity, finding hidden curiosities and subtle patterns amidst swarms of numbers. Her rigourous execution highlights the personal touch and commitment she brings to each piece.

EE Miller has been recording conversations for over a decade across disciplines and with multiple agendas, including the production and preservation of history and conversational art-making. She has just curated a CD of Orpheus-inspired sound art for Andrea Lawlor's Pocket Myth Series and contributed three entries for Encyclopedia Volume 1 (A-E)   edited by Tisa Bryant, Miranda   F. Mellis, and Kate Shatz. Recent video collaborations have featured conversations with artists Bernadine Mellis, Samuael Topiary, Aimee Worms Hirshberg, Corinna Press, Paul Grandsard, and Xylor Jane. Additionally, EE co-produces a weekly radio show with oral historian / poet Revan Schendler for Western Massachusetts's newest low-power FM station, WXOJ.

Gallery Talk

Gallery talk on The Doubloon by Regina Gleeson

Regina Gleeson is an Irish art critic and writes for CIRCA magazine, NY Arts Magazine and The Visual Artists' News Sheet. She began her practice as an artist through a BA in sculpture from The Limerick School of Art and Design. In order to extend her visual language into the area of digital discourse, she completed an MA in interactive media at The Dublin Institute of Technology in 2002 and began her research into art's relationship with technology, continuing to focus her work on the contexts within which art is being made today. After winning awards from The Arts Council of Ireland for her critical writing, she engaged in an intensive period of research on globalisation's impact on art practice and focused on the shifts between location and dislocation, collaborative practice across all kinds of fluid borders and Home from Homelessness.
