    With the popularity of video blogging and websites like Youtube, Blogspot and Myspace we are seeing a new aesthetic in video. How does this amateur video affect our visual culture and fine art? Matthew Hughes Boyko has created a collection of work by appropriating Youtube videos and creating original videos inspired by Youtube. This exhibition has several forms:

    Window Installation:
    In a window display designed by Tae Kitakata, Matthew’s videos will be showing. One video consists of found Youtube footage of men and women creating their first Internet videos. Another video offers strategies and advice for creating personality both on the web and in life. the videos will be for sale during the exhibition length.

    Podcasts:
    An additional series of podcasts will be available for download or viewing from ATA’s website. The podcasts will be motivational videos, helping future video bloggers in creating character and giving them helpful hints and humorous aphorisms.

    This Exhibition is part of a series curated by Dana Hemenway exploring the artist’s presence, physical and otherwise, in contemporary video and installation art.

  • CITY OF PHOTOS BENEFIT SCREENING FOR ASHA FOR EDUCATION

    City Of Photos

    A rare Bay Area screening of City of Photos by Nishtha Jain. This exploration of the ethos of neighborhood photo studios in Indian cities reveals entire imaginary worlds in the smallest of spaces. Tiny, shabby studios that appear stuck in time turn out to be places throbbing with energy. As full of surprises as the people who frequent them and the backdrops they enjoy posing against and the props they choose. Yet beneath the fun and games runs an undercurrent of foreboding. Not everyone enjoys being photographed; not every backdrop is beautiful; not all photos are taken on happy occasions. The cities themselves become backdrops, their gritty urban reality a counterpoint to the whimsical photo palaces.

    About Vidya:

    Prasant Radhakrishnan is a versatile saxophonist identified with both the Carnatic (South Indian Classical) and Jazz disciplines. A student of Padmashri Kadri Gopalnath, he has accompanied his guru in concerts in India and elsewhere. Prasant has given numerous solo concerts internationally, including regular concerts at the Chennai December music season in leading sabha organizations. Prasant has accompanied his guru in over 200 concerts within India and in the US, putting him in the company of not only Sri Kadri Gopalnath, but also with several of the most senior accompanying artists in the field of Carnatic music. Not limited by genres, Prasant has also been greatly influenced by the Jazz tradition. As a musical mind trained in two traditions, Prasant recently founded Vidya, a group that is a true combination of Carnatic music and Jazz. Vidya will be the liaison between the Jazz and Indian classical music world, and a vehicle to introduce these traditions to new listeners.
