Socially aware media artists respond to troubling times

PLACE The Black Box 5th floor
Hunter College, North Building
695 Park Avenue
enter on 69th Street between Park and Lexington Avenues
New York, NY 10021

DATE Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, May 1 - 3, 2007
TIME 6 – 9 p.m.

Over the course of three days, in a bazaar-like setting, an unprecedented number of media artists will present their work at Hunter College’s Black Box. The event dates are May 1st through May 3rd with special screenings on May 1st only.

If You See Something, Say Something presents a range of creative responses to the troubling issues and anti-democratic developments that have punctuated the first decade of the new millennium. The artwork on exhibit—including new media, installations, film and video, photography, painting, and journalistic projects—reflects a diversity of voices. From the abstracted gaze of surveillance cameras, to the spectacle of celebrity culture, from the exploration of fascism, to the wisdom of Indian cab drivers around the world, the exhibit represents contributions toward a global dialogue of criticism, protest, and liberation. Interspersed throughout the installation will be suspicious devices, items that are subject to varied interpretations and not intended for passive enjoyment.

Calling themselves the Making Trouble Alliance, the exhibiting artists, from five different continents, are driven by a feeling of urgency. They bring this show to New York City to provoke and engage in a dialogue with those who care about the troubling times in which we live, and those who need to be informed about the issues that impact on our daily lives. This MTA’s goal is to encourage all citizens to open their eyes, to express their opinions, and to react to important social issues.

If You See Something, Say Something is sponsored by the Film & Media Department’s Integrated Media Arts Program at Hunter College of the City University of New York (IMA/MFA), and EYEspeak (a graduate student association).

CURATORIAL NOTE

If You See Something, Say Something. Plastered across New York City subways and buses since 2002, the Metropolitan Transit Authority’s anti-terrorist ad campaign orders us all to become watchful eyes and ears of the state.

Welcome to the 21st century, where New York takes its place among other major cities around the world as a global center of surveillance, fear, and distrust. A post 9/11 century where Americans are told to watch each other—on the street, on reality television, on closed circuit cameras—rather than our disintegrating constitutional rights, environment, economy, social welfare system, or the unjust war that was deceitfully waged behind a “bodyguard of lies” in the wake of 9/11.

Like a Greek chorus for our time, the Hunter College Integrated Media Arts MFA program has adopted the MTA’s urgent demand for our annual spring show, to be held on May 1-3, 2007. If You See Something, Say Something presents a range of creative responses to the troubling issues and anti-democratic developments that have punctuated the first decade of the new millennium.

The artwork in the show—including new media, installations, film and video, photography, painting, and journalistic projects—reflects our diversity of voices and media. From the abstracted gaze of surveillance, the march of militarism, or the visual violence of our collective dreams to the concrete walls of the West Bank, the shrill voices of reality TV and hate-mongering pundits, the worldly wisdom of taxi drivers in New York, London, and Mumbai, or unpublished letters to the editor seeing the light of day, the exhibit represents our current contributions toward a global dialogue of criticism, protest, and liberation.

These are dangerous times. Too many of the perils we face are homegrown. We hope you will see and say something, too.
