LA / carrick bell and Rocco Ruglio-Misurell: The End of Living

The End of Living carrick bell and Rocco Ruglio-Misurell February 18 - March 12, 2023 Opening Reception Saturday February 18th, 7 -10pm Tiger Strikes Asteroid Los Angeles is pleased to present The End of Living, a two-person exhibition of new work by carrick bell and Rocco Ruglio-Misurell. Consisting of video and sound installation (bell) and sculpture, installation, and drawing (Ruglio-Misurell), The End of Living sketches out proposals for scavenging pleasure, hope, and connection in a long apocalyptic now with no guarantee of a future in sight. This exhibition is the second part of an exchange between artist-run spaces in Berlin and Los Angeles; in 2022, bell & Ruglio-Misurell hosted an exhibition of work from the member artists of TSALA in their Berlin-based non-profit space, Horse & Pony. The End of Living takes its name from an inversion of New Queer Cinema filmmaker Gregg Araki’s first feature-length film, The Living End. Shot on a minuscule budget with few resources and fewer permits, Araki’s film took the crisis of a specific community (in this case, the AIDS epidemic at a particular moment in the early 1990s) and spun it into a broader generational existential crisis. Flavored with a strong dose of premillennialist doom, the film asks how we can continue living in a world that is clearly in its death throes. Following two HIV-positive men on a Bonnie and Clyde tour of the American West, The Living End writes a new mythology for how sex, ethics, friendship, and subcultural resistance can be sustained in a world whose centers of meaning and coherence have been fractured and sold off. bell’s new video and sound installation directly engages the source material The Living End, consisting of a multi-screen video installation mounted to a wrought iron fence installed in front of the gallery’s windows. The video installation samples, distorts, and re-edits key fragments from  v. that amplify and elaborate moments of physical and erotic (dis)connection, the repetition and abstraction of found visual material proposing that, rather than seeking to escape where we find ourselves, we would do best to dig in and find our way through. Ruglio-Misurell will present a new body of work using personal experiences of the body, erotic touch, and clothing as the starting point. Pulling from his personal wardrobe, Ruglio-Misurell uses his former clothing to create freestanding sculptures, reliefs and hanging objects through casting and hardening the material. Garments such as jean cut-offs, jockstraps, tank tops, and button-downs are cut up, so only the seams and hems remain to show outlines of bodies. The altered garments have been soaked in Jesmonite (acrylic resin), making them hard once dry, and displayed on foil-covered pedestals. Using literal scraps and a mixture of constructed and found debris, these sculptures assemble leftovers, traces, casts, and impressions to tell fragments of stories. These works don’t offer easy kj to how to escape the disasters our generations have inherited, but they do have some propositions for how we can enjoy ourselves and each other as we try to repair. Rocco Ruglio-Misurell is a Berlin-based artist with a BFA from The Art Institute of Boston and an MFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago and was born in Newark, NJ. In 2009, Ruglio-Misurell received a Fulbright Fellowship to Berlin. Exhibitions include a solo show at Dzialdov in Berlin (2022), Jak zapomnieć in Kraków (2019), a two-person show at KH7artspace in Aarhus, Denmark(2018), a solo show at the Helen Day Art Center in Stowe, VT (2017), and a two-person show at LVL3 in Chicago (2016). Past residencies include OxBow (2019), Mass Moca (2017), The Wassaic Project (2017), Vermont Studio Center (2016), Skowhegan (2011), and Ox-Bow (2008). Along with carrick bell, Ruglio-Misurell is the co-director of Horse & Pony, an artist-run studio and non-profit exhibition space with the aim of providing artists, curators, and other project spaces the opportunity to extend or act outside of their existing practices. carrick bell is a Berlin-based video artist and PhD researcher at Chelsea College of Arts.

introduction to puppetry arts

- Rod puppet

a type of puppet controlled by a rod or rods made of various materials (such as wood, metal/ wire, plastic, or even bone).  its construction can range from simple to extremely complex, and the puppet can vary in size from a few inches in height to many feet tall.

CONSTRUCTION 

In its simplest form, the rod puppet consists of a central support rod holding the body of the puppet. It may, or may not, have limbs attached.

has two different types

One type consists of a single figure that may have simple articulated parts, or a solid part surrounding a central wooden or metal rod used to support and control the body and held and manipulated by the puppet performer.

the other is  also called a hand-and-rod puppet , in which the mouth is operated by the ­puppeteer’s hand as in a moving mouth puppet, while the puppet’s arms are who operates the mouth with controlled by rods. These can be manipulated either by a single puppeteer one hand and the rods with the other, or by two or more puppeteers, allowing for much greater range of motion.

https://theatre.historymuseum.ca/narratives/details.php?lvl2=4812&lvl3=4824&lvl4=5002&language=english

Practical Hand Puppet In this type of puppet, one of the puppeteer’s hands becomes the hand of the puppet itself. As with the hand-and-rod puppet, the performer operates the head with one hand and the puppet’s hand with the other; in some cases, another puppeteer will operate the other hand.

Marionette also called string puppet)

 A puppet suspended and controlled by strings attached to from above. its head and/or limbs, operated from above.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzzdq6vPXD8 (How to make string puppet)

CONSTRUCTION 

While marionettes by strings and/or can be constructed rods, and operated from a variety of materials—wood, ­ clay, even paper— they all have the same basic form and function, which is that of a figure/character controlled from above. Usually the figure is controlled by the puppeteer from above, although they can also be controlled from the side with a support rod. For the purposes of this project, we’ll construct our basic marionette out of cardstock; this same construction technique can be used to create more intricate marionettes out of other materials, if you wish. The addition of detailed costuming and other accessories can also give a marionette with basic construction a more polished look.

Shadow Puppet 

This is a simple, flat articulated figure attached to thin rods or wires and operated between color and detail to the shadow. a light source and a screen to cast shadows, giving the impression of moving people or other three-dimensional objects. These puppets can also make use of translucent materials such as tissue paper or cellophane to add color and detail to the shadow.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow_play

Parade/Pageant/Processional Puppet These are larger-than-life puppet forms constructed for use (as the name implies) in pageants and parades. They can range from simple rod puppets operated by one performer to complex constructions requiring numerous puppeteers.

Mascots/Character Costumes While not generally considered puppets in themselves, mascots and character costumes fit the basic definition of puppetry— that of bringing an otherwise inanimate character/object to life— and are often used in conjunction with puppets in various capacities (most often theater, movies, and television). Mascots uses one hand to manipulate the character’s mouth. can also make use of puppeteering techniques such as when the performer uses one hand to manipulate the character's mouth.

PHL / Where Are You Now / Abbey Muza

Back to exhibition info

Abbey Muza is an artist and weaver working in Philadelphia, PA. They received their BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and are an MFA Candidate and Graduate Fellow in Fibers and Material Studies at the Tyler School of Art and Architecture. They have shown at spaces in Chicago including Threewalls Gallery, LVL3, Tusk, and SOFA, as well as elsewhere in the US. In 2017 they received an Artist’s Grant from the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and have been an artist in residence at  Alternative Worksite in Roanoke, Virginia (supported by the Robert Overby  Foundation), and AIR Sefrou outside of Fes, Morocco. In my practice, I engage material hierarchies through formal arrangement of haptic imagery. I use the loom as a generative tool to create a woven material support for content. Placing the tactile away from the hand, tension develops between what cannot be touched but asks to be. Elsewhere, what desires the eye or the wall will not be given such. I look to develop a poetry of power.  My work begins as amassed text and imagery broken into cropped parts and phrases. I am often in dialogue with literature and film when making formal decisions or culling words. I collect quotidian fragments of images and language and intuitively arrange them into compositions. Such moments co-mingle with textile to activate the meeting of labor, flesh, and material.  I use the complex structures of weaving as a scaffold to situate the content of my work, and a  reckoning with material occurs in the process. Weaving allows for integration of content directly into form, by making an image or pattern concurrently with the structure in which it rests. I am attracted to the way the materials of weaving (wool, silk, plastic) pile and form volume and, in this structure, may totally or partially obscure image-based content. Hand-weaving is a method of controlling the bounds of images, hemming in the dimensions of works according to the width of warp, and binding the work against the gridded nature of its structure.

At the beginning of the pandemic, I was working out of a large shared space with several other artists - part of the joy of this studio was that it was shared, that we were frequently working together at our big studio tables. To isolate from one another and avoid being in the space at the same time after becoming a little community was hard. The only charming aspect of this was that, in not seeing my studio cohabitants anymore, my only experience of their practices was through the way the objects in the studio moved around and developed in between my own work times. Their ceramic objects would grow on the studio table in a garden-like fashion and then suddenly disappear into the kiln. This felt a bit magical!

TOP V. WEEKEND PICKS (1/5-1/11)

To quote a footnote regarding photography, language, ambiguity, and a smile.

25. Abe, The Box Man: A Novel (New York, NY: Vintage, 1999) 81; Hako otoko akz 24:44. In the Japanese original, “one grins” is “hito wa ha o muku,” which literally means “one reveals one’s teeth,” suggesting not purported congeniality (as “grin” might) but hostility and readiness to attack. (This is a minor point of contention, as “ha o muku” is a slightly unidiomatic expression; “kiba o muku” [literally “to reveal one’s fang’s”] is definetely a hostile act, while “ha o miseru” [literlly “to show one’s teeth] is a performance of congeniality. It is unclear which Abe had in mind when he used an expression midway between the two, as his expression is less idiomatic than those two are.)
