Visual art is so much about looking. As viewers of art, we might believe that all we need to perceive are eyes. Yet looking and seeing are not as simple as they seem. When we look at something, we make sense of it through an extended web of circumstances that effect our perception. It is an accepted belief today that all of us do not see in the same way because of our different experiences. In fact, the physiological process of visual perception itself is considered to be an act of interpretation. Our eyes interpret the information attained through coming into contact with visible light.
“Good looking” presents artworks that play with our vision in order to help us understand how we percieve the world around us. The works in this exhibition consider how people see and do not see, both literally and metaphorically. By pointing out the complexity of perception, the artists in this exhibition tell viewers that they have to consider the environment and conditions from which they emerge to appreciate how they comprehend what they see.

The Third Side (studies in radical nostalgia)

Alembic is an ongoing series of performative events at Performance Works NorthWest curated by guest artists from the worlds of dance, theater, visual and media arts.
THE THIRD SIDE of the tape occurs when the magnetic tape is twisted from exhaustion and outstrips its memory.
This program collects interpretations in dance, theater and music/sound — each internalized and processed before reemerging and taking new form. Rebecca Davis, a choreographer and installation artist based in Brooklyn, will premier “I’ll Crane for You,” the result of her participation in Deborah Hay’s 2008 Solo Commissioning Project. Interdisciplinary artist and independent researcher Sreshta Rit Premnath’s (NYC) score has instigated a group of local performers in dynamically rehashing a playlist of sappy 70′s folk songs. The songs once filled the halls of Premnath’s now-demolished art school as if a prelude to its demise. Culled from its ruins, these reinterpreted melodies configure a new site – half memorial, half razed ground..

Beyond the Instance of an Ending
November 10th – December 10th, 2009
Herter Art Gallery
125a Herter Hall
Amherst, MA 01003
As art editors of the journal Rethinking Marxism, Susan Jahoda and Jesal Kapadia have put together Beyond the Instance of an Ending–a group exhibition that envisions education as a social movement, as theorized by Antonio Gramsci, W.E.B. Du Bois, and Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak. The artists in the exhibition offer alternative approaches to discourse and the re-structuring of affect. Their works engage a politics of becoming; a process of rereading, recombining and revisioning–what are the potentialities of these engagements?
Participating Artists:
Eric Anglès & John Martin Widger, Sarah Beddington, Alexis Bhagat, Robert Blake, Pradeep Dalal, Yevgeniy Fiks, Benj Gerdes & Jennifer Hayashida, Susan Jahoda, Jesal Kapadia, Young Min Moon, Sreshta Rit Premnath, Harout Simonian, and Claudia Sohrens.

GNOSOS at Printed Matter
Gnosos
Sreshta Rit Premnath
New York, NY: S. Premnath. 2008
Gnosis (from the Latin gnosos meaning “knowledge” and nosos meaning “disease”) is an intriguing meditation on the subjectivity of perception. Composed by artist Sreshta Rit Premnath, it consists of eight collaged silhouettes accompanied by two found texts: a 19th century clinical description of the neurological condition anosognosia and a list of CIA counterintelligence categories used in the interrogation of suspects.

"BACK, FORTH AND ROUND ABOUT" AT THOMAS ERBEN GALLERY
Vijai Patchineelam, Sreshta Rit Premnath & Jaret Vadera
Rafil Kroll-Zaidi project space
February 19 – March 21, 2009
Opening: Thursday, February 19, 6-8:30 pm
Thomas Erben is excited to present a group of three artists who play with the poetics of relation, activating the spaces in between text, photography, painting, video, film and experience. Parallels, conundrums and paradoxes are the modus operandi used to illuminate the layered processes of making sense. Texts and still or moving images are partially erased, but then reappear in multiples, accretions or other media and slip back and forth between potential readings.
