MCASD has partnered with Space Time, an organization that cultivates time-based art works, to produce a series of events that consider works on display while presenting rare artist videos and live performances and lectures. See works by two artists, Jacolby Satterwhite and Super Squirrel (Sarah Hankins), that incorporate found material to critique pop culture and imagine better worlds. This program is presented in partnership with Space Time and in conjunction with "Alexis Smith: The American Way." It takes place during Free Third Thursday in Jacobs Hall on January 19, from 5 p.m. –7 p.m. with performances at 5:30 and 6:30 p.m. Satterwhite’s video "Country Ball 1989-2012" (2012) fuses drawing, live performance and digital technology to translate and document personal mythology. Here the artist's sources are a home video of a family cookout and his mother's drawings. Hand-tracing the drawings and importing them into a 3D animation program, Satterwhite builds a lush, computer-generated landscape. Super Squirrel (Sarah Hankins) is a DJ, producer, ethnomusicologist, and electronic noisemaker. Working with samples, VSTs, and analog synths, she explores themes of psychopathology, the carnivalesque, horror, oddity, intimacy, and haunting. In live performance, she creates quasi-narratives by way of irrational pop/electronic/folk mashups, which are smeared with noise and paired with curious videos.
