Punkt 2015: Peer Bode

PUNKT 2015 Festival in Kristiansand, Norway, last Saturday, Peer Bode performing the live cinema video event, Hermes.



Peer Bode (b. 1952, Rosenheim, Germany) is an artist, educator, and independent-media studio advocate. Bode is a second generation American video artist, his work first appearing in the mid 1970’s. He is associated with the New York, Owego and Alfred schools of independent media art. Bode is Professor of Video Arts and Co-Director/Co-Founder of the Institute for Electronic Arts at the School of Art and Design, NYSCC at Alfred University, Alfred, New York.
Working in film up until the early 1970s, Bode then moved into emerging electronic moving-image media. Peer Bode had been exposed to electronics by his father Harald Bode, pioneering developer of electronic musical instruments. Working as programs coordinator for the Experimental Television Center in Owego, New York, Peer Bode collaborated with numerous resident artists and engineers in creating a DIY community and artist project committed to “tool expansion” and “personal studio making.”
Recognizing the imposed limits of industrial and consumer technology, Bode sought to externalize the “hidden coding and control structures” of the video signal. As a new media arts practitioner, Bode harnesses historical and emerging media technologies in a reflexive investigation that explores and presents electronic images and sounds in their historical, phenomenological and semiotic conditions. Bode’s work presents spaces, times and transitions that are giddy, excessive, autonomous and poetic, specifically through the synthesis of audio and video signals Peer Bode’s work has been exhibited and collected worldwide, including the Whitney Museum of American Art, Whitney Biennial, the Museum of Modern Art, ICA London, European Media Art Festival, Beijing Film Academy and National Museum of Modern Art Tokyo. He is represented in ”Surveying the First Decade, Video Art and Alternate Media in the United States”, Video Data Bank, Chicago, IL. Peer Bode is cited in the recent book “The Emergence of Video Processing Tools: Television Becoming Unglued”. Intellect Ltd. UK 2014. Bode has collaborated on numerous electronic tool building projects with video systems designer David Jones and artist Ralph Hocking.
Peer Bode and Andrew Deutsch are founding members of the electro-acoustic “Carrier Band” with Pauline Oliveros, Stephen Vitiello and Rebekkah Palov. Their CDs are available on Deep Listening Publications and IEA and are distributed by forcedexposure.com. Peer Bode is the Director of the Harald Bode Archive.
Peer Bode will participate in Punkt Seminar on Friday September 4th, 12:00 – 12:45, at Klubben. His work “Electric Videos Dream of Niagara Falls”, subtitle: “The Learning” will looped and continuously displayed in Hall 7 of Kristiansand Kino from 11:00 to 23:00, while Peer Bode will give live renditions of his piece “Hermes” in Hall 7 14:00 – 14:45 on both Friday and Saturday.

Line to Ligature Exhibit In Turner Gallery


Line to Ligature seeks to explore the functionality of type in a fine art context. Typography exists in the visual world that surrounds us, yet in most instances its purpose is for function rather than aesthetic. Type can hold a similar emotion and meaning to common elements found across the arts. This exhibit therefore aims to prove the aesthetic value hiding within typography’s functionality.

Ann Hamilton was one of the earliest artists to work at the IEA. Over the years she has returned many times producing a monumental body of printed works. She often works in large series, from which a selection of images are then used to produce individual editions. A recent example of this working practice is the Phora series, which includes a set of twelve prints that were editioned and two copies of the complete series of one-hundred-ninety-two prints.

Excerpt from the Exhibition Catalog about Ann Hamilton

The Reflection Series was the third group of prints made by Hamilton at the IEA. These images mark the occasion Hamilton’s installation myein at The United States Pavilion 48th Venice Biennale 1999. The images are reflections of the artist on multiple layers of glass that were stacked in preparation for the construction of a gridded wall that would cross the entire facade of the United States Pavilion in Venice. Photographed at five minute intervals, the series documents the shifting weather as seen through the recently uncovered pavilion skylights.

“She is a visual artist internationally recognized for the sensory surrounds of her large-scale multi-media installations. Using time as process and material, her methods of making serve as an invocation of place, of collective voice, of communities past and of labor present. Noted for a dense accumulation of materials, her ephemeral environments create immersive experiences that poetically respond to the architectural presence and social history of their sites. Whether inhabiting a building four stories high or confined to the surface of a thimble, the genesis of Hamilton’s art extends outwards from the primary projections of the hand and mouth. Her attention to the uttering of a sound or the shaping of a word with the hand places language and text at the tactile and metaphoric center of her installations. To enter their liminality is to be drawn equally into the sensory and linguistic capacities of comprehension that construct our faculties of memory, reason and imagination.”  http://www.annhamiltonstudio.com


Among her many honors, Hamilton has been the recipient of the Heinz Award, MacArthur Fellowship, United States Artists Fellowship, NEA Visual Arts Fellowship, Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation Award, Skowhegan Medal for Sculpture, and the Guggenheim Memorial Fellowship. She represented the United States in the 1991 Sao Paulo Bienal, the 1999 Venice Biennale, and has exhibited extensively around the world. Her major commissions include projects for the Park Avenue Armory, The Guggenheim Museum, New York, Contemporary Art Museum, Kumamoto, Japan, La Maison Rouge Fondation de Antoine Galbert, Paris, France, The Musee d’art Contemporain, Lyon, France, The Stedelijk Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven, The Netherlands, The Museum of Modern Art, Tate Gallery, Liverpool, Dia Center for the Arts, New York, and The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles.
