“Black Air takes its name from a 1968 electronic environment of video and pneumatics by Aldo Tambellini and Otto Piene.
In addition to this re-activation, a new publication, site-specific installations, and performances have been commissioned.
Ibrahim R. Ineke’s painting and artist’s book set the human scale.
Semiconductor maps scientific data from expanses of dark energy within superclusters of galaxies, and visualizes them as sculptural reliefs, accompanied by sound.
Ayako Kato performs a physical exploration of metaphysical black air throughout space and time.
Max Kuiper constructs a mixed-media installation of sound, video projections, and transparent sheets with encased materials and prints.
A suspended video installation by Lisa Slodki depicts a series of dynamic vignettes captured during a search for ether.
Landscapes by Hans de Wit indicate bursts of radiation, churning air, and biological antennae, suggesting that the earth’s surface is more like a lung than a hard crust.
Together these artworks demonstrate the amorosity of black air—which becomes visible or tangible only through its interactions, relationships, and effects.”
