JJ PEET "The TV Show"
On Stellar Rays
This event has ended.
PEET frames the exhibition within the structure of a television program, including elements such as the trailer, a series format, and reruns; produced in sculpture, video, photographs and live broadcast. The project expands beyond normal spatial and temporal parameters of a gallery exhibition, broadly functioning to mimic actual experiences of the viewer as a networked citizen in our contemporary culture.
PEET premieres The TV Show during On Stellar Ray’s preceding exhibition, a group show entitled This-Has-Been (on view February 18 – March 29, 2009), which includes PEET and other artists exploring disruptions in analog and broadcast transmissions. Throughout the course of both exhibitions PEET will be constructing a clandestine installation of a force obliquely referred to as "The Resistants". The Resistants will be in an undisclosed location and in close proximity to the gallery’s exhibition space, though accessible only by PEET. Evidence of The Resistants will be visible on a monitor in the gallery, presenting a stream of live and prerecorded video. The Resistants simultaneously responds to subjective day-to-day occurrences and broader socio-political news events as experienced by the artist, and effectively creating a sense of indeterminacy that obscures perceived distinctions between time and space, the topical and political, and actuality and delusion.
