Ambient sound piece by Tom Auger<\/p>\n

The Red Head Gallery\u00a0<\/strong>presents\u00a0Elaine Whittaker<\/a>\u2019s\u00a0Cc: me<\/em><\/strong>, a mixed media installation of drawing, live bacteria, and sound. The body becomes a site for the infectious nature of language \u2013 nuanced, messaged, poetic, copied.\u00a0 Abstracted human figures, sketched using discarded carbon fax typographies, are presented as both wall drawings and insertions in petri dish installations teeming with live bacteria.\u00a0 These spent faxes, of once urgent environmental campaigns, are juxtaposed against crass viral commercial messaging, become shadowy iterations of the body, images of mutable histories, degraded texts, and transformative ecology. Four local poets, Julie Roorda, Jim Johnstone, Ruth Roach Pierson and Larry Sulky, and sound artist, Tom Auger, respond to the work. The poets\u2019 words are, in turn, transformed into evocative tracings of wit, longing, memory, and life. Installations of word, sound and object. The textual, the aural and the visual. The carbon copy of yesterday becomes the transfigured art of today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
