Mika Tajima - Feb 8

Mika Tajima/New Humans
Disassociate, 2007
Performance with Vito Acconci

Mika Tajima: Born 1975 in Los Angeles, California; lives in New York, New York.

New Humans, a collaborative founded by Mika Tajima with Howie Chen, explores the intersecting strata of sound, installation, and performance within the context of Tajima’s visual art practice. The elements making up Tajima’s projects slip from foreground sculptures to background props, staging markers, and functional structures, their status in continual transition and production. Challenging the audience’s expectations of sculpture as a static presence, Tajima combines multimedia installations with serial performance elements by New Humans including sonically spare noise music grounded in Minimal composition and evoking a post– John Cage mayhem. A constantly changing roster of collaborators from different disciplines contributes to a relentless layering of visual and aural textures, creating a discordant dialogue.

Lecture 7:30 pm

John Knight - Group Discussion, 7:00pm Monday Nov 16th @ Warner Studios








Since the late 1960s, the project of John Knight has managed to negate easy categorization, by assuming an immediate and critical distance from the overly generalized label of Conceptual Art. Instead, Knight assumed a more singular position, by not hesitating to re-employ object/subjects within the vernacular, beyond the simple reinterpretation of the ready made, or simulacrum, as in the case of so many other contemporary artists working at the same time. Recent projects include, Museum Morsbroich, Leverkusen (2008), Espai d’Art Contemporani de Castello / EAAC (2008), Galerie Rüdiger Schöttle, Munich (2008), Hamburger Bahnhof Museum, Berlin (2009) and at the Museu d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona / Macba (2009). He recently had an exhibition at Richard Telles Fine Art and is lecturing at the Hammer museum Nov 12th at 7pm. He lives in Los Angeles and works in situ.


In liu of studio visits, John Knight will be leading a group discussion centered around his practices oscillation within and outside of art discourse and other social/economic structures. John has settled on the group discussion as his preferred format so feel free to bring any topics to the discussion. Here are some supplementary documents on his practice since most of it is difficult to present through visual documentation:
