NOVELLER
SEYHAN MUSA
JEREMY D. SLATER

NOVELLER

Noveller is the solo electric guitar project of Brooklyn-based composer and filmmaker Sarah Lipstate. Handling the guitar as her muse, Lipstate summons a sonic palette so rich as to challenge the listener to conceive of how it’s housed in a single instrument manipulated by a solitary performer. Her one-woman guitar soundscapes have captured the attention of NPR, The Village Voice, Time Out New York, and The Wall Street Journal. Lipstate has collaborated with several renowned musicians, including live improvised duo performances with Carla Bozulich (Evangelista, The Geraldine Fibbers), David Wm. Sims (the Jesus Lizard, Scratch Acid), and Lee Ranaldo (Sonic Youth). She has previously performed as a member of Cold Cave, Parts & Labor, and One Umbrella. Lipstate has also participated in Rhys Chatham’s Guitar Army, Ben Frost’s “Music for 6 Guitars” Ensemble, and Glenn Branca’s 100 guitar ensemble. http://www.sarahlipstate.com

SEYHAN MUSA

Seyhan Musaoglu is a multi-media artist whose work spans the fields of live performance, sound art, film and video, and 2-D media. Drawing inspiration from diverse sources ranging from science fiction imagery, to fashion, to modern dance choreography, her work investigates the gap between sound production and music composition, contemporary feminist theory, and the history of avant-garde filmmaking. She has been performing widely with collaborations celebrated internationally in genres of sound and experimental noise. She is also an innovative independent curator, and is the founder of the sound, new media&peformance festival {SØNiK}Fest. Seyhan holds an MFA from Parsons the New School for Design. Some of the venues her work has been presented at are: The Kitchen (NYC), New York Studio Gallery (NYC), Lit Lounge (NYC), Curta 8 Film Festival (Brazil), and Istanbul’s famed venue, Babylon.

Curated by Jess Ramsay

HEREart is pleased to present the group exhibition, .gif .jpg .png .tif (gjpt). Titled after common web-based graphics, this exhibition explores the realm of standardized image formats as represented in Internet-based art, websites, videos, applications, and multi- media design. The exhibition will feature web, sound, video and installation artists working within the framework of digital media, online content, and interactive works using the standardized formats of .gif, .jpg, .png, or .tif. The artists, some working digitally, and others only exploring the history of digital media and language, will all be presenting work that either critiques, questions, examines, or celebrates the vast, yet firmly defined, field of digital displays of visual media.

The world of online content and language operates under the assumption that the user will understand…and we do.

Artists:
Jason Huff
Seyhan Musaoglu
Jordan Tate & Adam Tindale
Giselle Zatonyl

On view: March 3 – April 30, 2011
Opening Reception: March 3, 5-7PM

MDSE-Sad Pavilion at ML, CD cover
“Sad Pavilion” was recorded live at Mildred’s Lane artist residency in Scranton PA. The performance was part of an evening sound event curated by Bret Schneider involving eight artists with sound stations spread throughout the wooded landscape. MDSE (consisting of DSE and MD) engaged analog and digital electronics with sampled instructional records and vocal experimentation operating on the schism of language and noise. For this event David Schafer [DSE] performed for one hour followed by MeKaniKdolls [MD] for one hour, then collaboratively as MDSE for one hour.

The “Sad Pavilion” CD is now available through iTunes, CDbaby, and our websites.
