FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Saturday December 5th, 7-10 pm

Dan Graham is pleased to announce a night of two exhibitions “1969″ and “The Sharon Show” organized by Vincent Ramos.

“1969” and “The Sharon Show” are two different exhibitions that will share the same space for one night. “1969” is a show of performance-based works that respond to the key events of 1969 and/or uses them as a catalyst for commenting on our current state of affairs in this country and abroad. “The Sharon Show” is an exhibition of object-based works that give an aesthetic nod to that period while still remaining firmly fixed in today’s society. “The Sharon Show” is named after the actress Sharon Tate, who was murdered 40 years ago this past summer in Los Angeles. Both exhibitions are conceived as dual investigations into the role of anniversaries as they pertain to defining moments in American history.

-Vincent Ramos

For “1969″ and “The Sharon Show” Dan Graham’s sign has been changed out with a sign reading The Friends of Distinction stemming from the Los Angeles R&B group who’s debut album was released in 1969. This temporary name change is something very much encouraged at Dan Graham, which is to support any given exhibition’s context through language and signification.

Palissades #2 @ Onyx, St-Herblain/Atlantis, France

ELOIGNEMENT C’EST L’ELOIGNEMENT from Audrey Chan on Vimeo.

Time-lapse video of the installation of Palissades #2: Audrey Chan, ELOIGNEMENT C’EST L’ELOIGNEMENT. The phrase was inspired by a class field trip to the Nantes Préfecture with my students Mélanie, Nina, and Sarah. We learned that “éloignement” (to be far away from home) is the term used by the French administration for the deportation of “sans papiers” (undocumented immigrants).

This project was a collaboration with graphic designer Nicolas Gautron and artist Marie-Pierre Duquoc.
