JUKEBOX by TJ Ahearn
Location: PULSE ART FAIR MIAMI
December 1 - 4, 2011
“The music spanning the Sixties and Seventies represents a dynamic shift in the cultural strata of western civilization and beyond. Rock 'n Roll the prevailing musical genre signifying that era remains embedded in our contemporary society -- to the point of banality as it is often co-opted for TV advertising and mass media. The evocative, imaginary scenes in the works in this show are ignited by the spark of the music's intent and flavor-- reflections on concepts of Utopianism, sexual liberation, spirituality, ecology, war resistance and other themes that continue to be relevant today.”
Limited Edition Gean Moreno [NAME] Publications will also be available for viewing and sales at our rockin’ booth.

CONVENIENCE STORE
by Michelle Weinberg
Location: TBD
“Convenience Store” is a store within a store, a replica pop-up corner shop,a shrine to the expectation of consumers accustomed to fulfilling their shopping needs on any corner anywhere at any hour. Its plexiglas storefront flickers with moving images rear-projected from within.
Original animations and videos by Weinberg present brief scenarios on shopping and window shopping, from the mundane to the abstract: coveting fetishized trinkets, urgently seeking serviceable workaday items, even the desires of objects themselves to become animate or immortal.
