June 30, 2009, tonight we did the usual radio show for artists about artists so that they can talk about their art.  What was unusual was that it was Elizabeth Travelslight.  We talked about her upcoming installation xperimental Archives / Collaborative Media Studies at Rock! Paper! Scissors! Collective in Oakland on Telegraph in the Invisible Ingrediant Exhibition.  The opening is this Friday the third of July and the show will run through the 24th of July.

Click here to hear the show with Elizabeth who is a multi-media artist that orchestrates collisions between material and digital media while exploring philosophy through conceptual art, curious objects, and installations that demonstrate the possibilities of folk art and craft with contemporary technology.  We talked about her exhibition opening this Friday July 3 at Rock! Paper! Scissors! in Oakland entitled Experimental Archives / Collaborative Media Studies, a work revolving around feminist intertwining  and literal weavings.

“Invisible Ingredient” brings together five up-and-coming digital artists from the Bay Area whose works uncover the hidden politics and histories of everyday phenomena. Each artist merges art, technology, and craft to make invisible ingredients visible. Miki Yamada Foster’s Feminist Craft Corner explores the hidden politics of gender and sexuality by interweaving technology and craft, while Lindsay Kelley examines the borders of food and nonfood through video and text in Starvation Seeds. Nick Lally, Elizabeth Travelslight, and Rupa Dhillon expose everyday invisible phenomena ranging from the relationships between sound and light to the notion of memory and personal reflection. Through the use of electronic sensors and computer programming, Nick Lally uncovers the beauty and complexity behind seemingly mundane data in his untitled series of digital prints, photographs, and accompanying mural. Elizabeth Travelslight explores the notion of personal identity, memory, and reflection in her assemblage series containing found furniture, textiles, and glass. Rupa Dhillon exposes the visibility of sound in (Re)Sounding Light through the use of electronics, beads, and deconstructed musical instruments.
