Artist Lecture: along a long line
by Mike Glier
Tuesday, March 30, 6 pm
Mike Glier says of his new book, along a long line, from Hard Press Editions, it “is the story of this yearlong trip along the line of Longitude which begins in the Arctic Circle, runs through my studio in upstate New York and continues to the equator. I left my studio thinking, ‘when I die, I want to know that I’ve used myself up.’ At first, this might seem glum, but it’s really an optimistic thought about finding adventure within oneself.” The result is at once a collection of breathtaking visual renderings in paint and photography as well as a mindful lesson in awareness of the diversity and fragility of this planet so few of us ever get a chance to fully experience. Currently he has begun work on Antipodes (www.antipodes.us), a project for which he will travel to opposite sides of the globe to create sets of contrasting painted landscapes.
Glier was born in Kentucky in 1953. He received a BA from Williams College, Williamstown, MA and an MA from Hunter College. He was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship in painting in 1996. In collaboration with his wife, Jenny Holzer, he completed a permanent memorial sculpture for the City of Leipzig, Germany. Solo exhibitions of his work have been held at the San Diego Museum of Art, The Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, the Museum of Modern Art, The Cincinnati Contemporary Art Center, The Wexner Center, Columbus, OH and MASS MoCA, North Adams, MA. Glier is currently represented by Barbara Krakow Gallery, Boston; Gerald Peters Gallery, NY and Santa Fe; and Geoffrey Young, Great Barrington, MA.
All are invited to a reception for Mike Glier immediately following at Gerald Peters Gallery, 1011 Paseo De Peralta. Co-sponsored by Century Bank.

Lecture: Crowds, Cruelty, Communion
by Kimberly Jannarone
Tuesday, April 27, 6 pm
Co-sponsored by Box Gallery.
Kimberly Jannarone studies avant-garde art and thought across genres, grounded in performance. A central focus of her work is the relationship between the audience and the performer. As a director and dramaturge herself, studying audience histories and theories of performance fuels her practical work. In each she attempts to uncover the politics and the aesthetics of theorizing bodies together in space. In fall 2009, Jannarone was a Camargo Fellow in residence in Cassis, France, working on her second book, The Crowd in the Theater, which ties together histories of people's theaters and crowd theory.
Her first book, Artaud and His Doubles, is forthcoming from the University of Michigan Press in 2010. In it, Jannarone brings the theatrical ideas of Antonin Artaud to new light by situating him in the context of European intellectual and political history. Her talk, "Crowds, Cruelty, Communion," draws from this research, taking a look at Artaud's ideal audience alongside a surprising group of his contemporaries in interwar Europe.
Jannarone is Associate Professor of Theater Arts at the University of California, Santa Cruz. She received her BA in English and Theater from Emory University and her MFA and DFA from the Yale School of Drama. Her essays on Artaud, Alfred Jarry, and Surrealism have been published in Theatre Journal, Theatre Survey, French Forum, New Theatre Quarterly, and The Exquisite Corpse: Chance and Collaboration in the World's Most Popular Parlor Game (University of Nebraska Press).
Gallery Gigs – Live at SITE
D Numbers with special guests
Friday, May 7, 7 pm
Since the band's inception in 2002, D Numbers has been steadily forging their own path in a jaded and post-everything modern music scene. D Numbers' broad range of influences and long process of group development have led to a complex and unique hybrid of instrumental rock and electronica. The magic of D Numbers' live performances is in the realtime reorganization of analog sounds from live instruments into intricate webs of loops, samples and digital bliss. D Numbers creates multilayered compositions rich in texture and depth as the audience watches them bob and sway in sync; stomping on pedals and lunging for knobs and faders, all the while locked into a solid groove. Exploring a wide range of feelings and tonalities that range from melancholy ambience to aggressive rock to ecstatic funk, D Numbers takes their listeners on a sonic joyride.
D Numbers is Paul Groetzinger, Ben Wright, and Brian
Mayhall.
SITE Santa Fe is pleased to host an international cultural exchange between electronic musicians from Serbia and the United States. D Numbers will perform with their contemporaries from the 2010 Dis-Patch & Communikey Collaborative Tour.
