Group Show on Sebastien Sanz de Santamaria

Secret Spaces

Sat, 14 Aug 2004 00:00:00 -0500

Counter Culture paired six contemporary New York artists with small businesses and organizations around the Bowery, the future home of the New Museum, to explore the commerce and cultural diversity of the surrounding neighborhoods.

The Flux Factory collective presented Secret Spaces, an installation in an area of Bowery Martial Arts (246 Bowery) not usually accessible to customers.

The piece ran as a spy game. Visitors who knew the password became “infiltrators”: at a command center hidden inside the martial arts school they chose a mission level (easy, intermediate, difficult, or impossible), received a briefing by telescreen, and set out with a mission pack. Missions ranged from neighborhood errands to gathering intelligence from payphones and composing photographs; the impossible level was never disclosed. Flux Factory’s own archive lists the piece as Secret Places.

Scape 2

Sat, 22 May 2004 00:00:00 -0500

A walk-through song made of sound installations, all working from the same beat and drone. Each artist developed sound pieces that interact with one another by following a rhythm of 60 beats per minute over a drone on the note D.

With Pierre Bastien, Guillermo Brown, free103point9, Marco & Miwa, Stefany Anne Golberg with Morgan Meis, and Bruno Persat & Sebastien Sanz de Santamaria.

Disenchanted Forest

Sat, 27 Jul 2002 00:00:00 -0500

A window installation for Disenchanted Forest, a summer group show at Flux Factory with Jason D. Brown, Paul Burn, and Aya Kakeda.

The exhibition took an ironic view of nature preservation, treating nature as something best kept in a jar at the natural history museum, and set museum-like contents loose in an open gallery.

Scape

Mon, 01 Apr 2002 00:00:00 -0500

A collaborative sound installation in Flux Factory’s gallery space and experimental studio. Members of the collective and outside artists developed a number of pieces that interacted with one another while also standing as independent works.

With Jean Barberis, Simon Boudvin, Stefany Anne Golberg, Geraldine Longueville, Morgan Meis, Jason Nunez, Bruno Persat, Marco Scoffier & Miwa, and Sebastien Sanz de Santamaria.

The project returned as Scape 2 in 2004.
