<p>Post-performance Reception: Friday, January 13</p>
<p>Part-time Houston-based choreographer and former Forsythe Company member Ayman Harper comes to DiverseWorks with the U.S. premiere of <em>(theLID</em>, a  conceptualized dance event<em></em>. Collaborating with renowned sound artists <a href="http://brainwashed.com/matmos/">Matmos</a>, dancer Jermaine Spivey (with Kidd Pivot Frankfurt RM), and Costume and Prop Designer Tomi Paasonen, <em>(theLID</em> is a musical composition unfolding in the form of dance. Combining Matmos’ ability to create whimsical and peculiar electronic sound assemblages from everyday objects with Harper’s ability to create lyrical and idiosyncratic movement, <em>(theLID</em> is a hybrid performance event in which movement and sound composition are mutually inspired.</p>

<strong><em>My Life as a Doll</em></strong><br />
<strong>Curator Diane Barber</strong><br />
November 11-December 17, 2011<br />
Opening Reception: Fri. Nov. 11, 2011<br />
6-9pm<a href="http://diverseworks.org/2011/galleryguide-mylifeasadoll/dw_image2/" rel="attachment wp-att-4349"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-4349" title="dw_image2" src="http://diverseworks.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/dw_image2-350x212.jpg" alt="" width="350" height="212" /></a></p>
<p><em><strong>My Life as a Doll</strong></em><br />
You travel through Tara Conley’s and Tria Wood’s <em>My Life as a Doll</em> as a voyeur might through a stranger’s home, inspecting room after room for what might be occurring inside. At times you do a double take at the wall of mirrors and in the “cock &amp; tail” party room, in the expansive “closet” with its colorful ropey tentaclelike cotton dress and eerily flat black dresses tagged for various emotional purposes, in the breakfast room with table legs dripping in “honey,” or at the cagelike “princess” bed, because you can’t be sure of what you saw, whether fact or illusion. Conley and Wood are astute observers of cloaked feelings and stalled dreams. My own response to the installation, which resembles a cross between a gigantic dollhouse and fairytale pop-up book, is immediate and visceral. Here are two artists tunneling through the complexities of a genuine urgent vision, operating as much from their guts as their heads, and actually saying something about the life choices all of us – female, male, young or elderly – are forced to make on a daily basis.</p>
<p>Combining text, images, objects and sound, the work exerts a palpable closeness, an immediate intimacy with the viewer that is disorienting and destabilizing. There is<br />
a sense of life lived not as a series of decisive moments, but rather as a random accumulation of shrunken events. Toward that end, <em>My Life as a Doll</em> shows the powerful undercurrents of confused motives and mixed signals. Make no mistake, the installation pulsates with sweaty energy and ribald humor, even as it satisfies an appetite for the grand-scale narrative. There’s an overarching air of melancholy just barely kept at bay, balanced with an oddly inviting warmth. Their Pop sensibility is fast and twisted, as likely to embrace gritty urban realism and Barbie fashions as literary masterpieces and underground comics. Such mixing of sources is hardly new, but Conley and Wood pull it off through sheer exuberance and technical skill. What seems like a stage set-like environment of disparate, individually seductive elements in slangy materials and cake icing colors snaps into a handsome orchestration once you journey through the house or scan it as a whole. The result is a giddy dance of pattern, color and buoyant movement.</p>
<p>Conley’s hybrid sculptures are involved with process and image, flesh and physicality. Her images invoke tender touch and luscious, scabrous fury. For the DiverseWorks installation, Conley balances the sense of casual hands-on intimacy with the unexpected poetic interaction of such simple materials as Styrofoam, metal rods, fiberglass and pigment. Both Conley and Wood are skillful wordsmiths—they have an almost unfailing ear for language and overheard phrases—junk mail and sleazy bar come-ons or snippets from classic literature and trashy blogs. In doing so, they aim to unmask the cultural ideals and commercial products that promote the lavish fantasy of role playing from birth to teenage and adult years. Our lives, as Conley and Wood suggest, continue to be shaped by such props. How do others perceive or judge us? How do we perceive ourselves? How have we been manipulated? The artists address commodity fetishism and control, problematizing it as a question of woman’s / man’s desire. What interests them is not merely the activation of desire, but the examination of its complex structures. Can we never have enough? At issue is a deep set of oppositions between the private and the public, between the self and the media at large, between success and failure, between hidden obsessions and our daily passage with one another. And those oppositions make less sense every day. Conley’s and Wood’s highly structured, multitiered installation isn’t a platform for dysfunction or laying easy blame for life’s disappointments. Their fascination with the autonomous falsity of human relationships may undoubtedly offend many viewers. But unlike some artists’ ingratiating vignettes of social norms, they take offense as a good sign.</p>
<p>Indeed, <em>My Life as a Doll</em> packs a considerable punch by posing the dilemma of mass-media believability versus trustworthiness. As we recoil from the shallow fictions of material success and domestic bliss, we also recognize that we are forever wanting things to get better and better, even half-expecting that they will. Still, the dark side of domestic life – familiar though it is now – remains an essential theme. We have known for some time that the center isn’t holding. If the home is where children develop dreams and myths about their future, then what makes a home secure? What makes a home loving and warm, or cold and empty? For Conley and Wood, perhaps the effort “to get one’s house in order,” or at least to try and see it clearly, is less a withdrawal from responsibility than an expression of sanity. Like the dream, you can’t have the perfect home, the perfect lifestyle – you can’t achieve the promised transcendence – unless you buy into a piece of the fantasy. Overall, <em>My Life as a Dol</em>l displays the remarkable talent for visual metaphor and for embodying symbols in material form. With this multidimensional tableau, Conley and Wood put into play an impressive spectacle that cuts loose any fixed ideas about identity, time and memory, about probability and luck, good fortune and bad, about relationships and children, fair play and the anxieties bubbling beneath the surface of everyday life.</p>

<p><strong>Curator Statement</strong><br />
Years ago I saw a photograph in an exhibition that, for me, gave rise to a flood of conflicting emotions. The image was a stark, black-and-white portrait of a young, stoic girl dressed in a bridal gown taken by Cuban photographer Tony Mendoza. The title of the photograph was as follows: “Halloween, 1992. Lydia, who had just turned three, wanted to be a bride.” I don’t know why I found that image so disconcerting. On the surface, it was actually kind of charming—the wide-eyed girl playing dress up as so many girls do, publicly trying on a new persona to see how it fits. However, the way the girl was depicted suggested anything but play. She was all dolled up but expressionless, bored even, and I found myself wondering about the source of her discontent and what the photographer wanted to convey by depicting her this way. Perhaps I was over-thinking it. Maybe the dress was uncomfortable or she was disappointed because she had envisioned it with a longer train, or maybe she was simply tired of sitting still for the photographer. Whatever the case, the image stuck with me and resurfaced in my mind all these years later during preparations for this show.</p>
<p>When I first began talking to Tara Conley and Tria Wood about their ideas for <em>My Life as a Doll</em>, I was intrigued but apprehensive. Having recently worked on a cross-generational exhibition by a roster of high caliber female artists—some of whom overtly explored feminist themes in their work and labeled them as such, and others who deliberately disassociated themselves from feminist ideology because to them it seemed outdated—I was cautious about the loaded nature of the exhibition that Conley and Wood imagined and their ideas for tackling it. There’s a lot of baggage here and it fascinates me that explorations of gender roles and societal constructs that reinforce those roles have been undertaken by artists time and again – and, yet, there’s still so much to talk about. Here, Conley and Wood have managed to reframe the conversation in an interesting way. Their approach to this weighty subject matter is disarmingly playful and pretty, couched in the comfort of a storybook rhyme that does anything but reinforce the notion of the “happily ever after” fairytale.</p>
<p>The installation, which is an amalgamation of personal memories and experiences, overheard dialogue, literary references, and metaphoric dioramas, leads us into a claustrophobic circle of conflicted emotions. There’s a sense of joyful exuberance in this candy-colored world tempered by an equally powerful sense of confinement and confusion. The characters are strangely fictional yet completely recognizable and we inhabit their world as interlopers, stumbling upon some dark secret. Conley and Wood are simultaneously internal and external in their approach to the story they’ve constructed, exposing something about themselves as well as something about the culture we all have to navigate in order to become who we ultimately are. <em>My Life as a Doll</em>, like Mendoza’s photograph of the child bride, is certain to resonate with different people in different ways. We all bring ourselves into this imaginary and temporary place Conley and Wood have created and will likely each emerge with a reaction that is acutely personal – one shaped and filtered by our own lives and experiences, beliefs and sense of self.</p>

<p><strong>About Tara Conley</strong><br />
A sculptor working across many media, Tara Conley creates curious biomorphic forms by employing innovative approaches to materials such as cotton, metal, and fiberglass. Her sculptures, which hug the ground, hang from the ceiling, and extend from the walls, represent a cast of fantastic characters, each with distinct attributes and attitudes. By bringing her imaginary creatures into three-dimensional space, Conley explores issues of posture, physical space, personality and sexuality, while exhibiting a delightful sense of wonder and humor. She enjoys mixing media, and challenges herself to use materials in ways unfamiliar to the viewer. Conley is also intrigued by found texts and overheard phrases, using them to create word-based sculptures. Throughout her work, she demonstrates her fascination with the ways we form relationships with others. Conley has shown her work from Seattle to Massachusetts, with major exhibitions in Houston and New York. Her monumental <em>Bronze Bunny</em> is currently on display in New Orleans’ Lafayette Square, where it stood with the work of artists Louise Bourgeois and Aria Da Capo as part of Sculpture for New Orleans. Art critic Doug MacCash listed this suite of sculptures in Lafayette Square in the top ten exhibits to see in New Orleans in 2009. Currently, Conley is designing an outdoor sculpture to complement her indoor artworks for the South Gessner police station as part of a commission by the City of Houston. Additionally, she and artist Joe Barrington are creating a monumental outdoor sculpture for the Rawls College of Business at Texas Tech University to be revealed in 2012. Originally from Bath, New York, Conley holds a BFA from the School for American Crafts at Rochester Institute of Technology. She lives and works in Houston, Texas.</p>
<p><strong>About Tria Wood</strong><br />
A native Texan, Tria Wood earned her B.A. and M.A. in English and Creative Writing from Texas A&amp;M University, where she also served as an assistant lecturer before moving to Houston. In addition, she holds an M.Ed. in Art Education from the University of Houston. Currently working as an English professor at San Jacinto College South, she has spent the past six years teaching creative writing to children of various ages and mentoring other creative writing teachers through the nonprofit Writers in the Schools program. Wood has also worked as an instructional designer and as a program coordinator for a nonprofit theater arts outreach for at-risk children. She studied improvisational acting, including completing the UCB Theater’s intensive summer workshop in New York City, and performed as a member of a comedy troupe in Houston. More recently, Wood spent several years as Visual Arts Editor for <em>ArtsHouston</em> magazine. Her poetry, fiction, art criticism and reviews appear in a variety of publications such as <em>SPOT</em>, <em>Snowy Egret</em>, <em>Concho River Review</em> and <em>Arcadia</em>. Her poetry and fiction explore the varied and complex ways we negotiate distance and desire, and comment on the way power structures shape personal life. She is also at work on a young adult novel. A lifelong fascination with museum tableaux and cabinets of curiosities inspires her engagement with installation art.</p>

<p><strong>About Braden King</strong><br />
Braden King is a New York-based filmmaker, photographer and visual artist.  His most recent feature film, <em>HERE</em>, is a formally groundbreaking, landscape-obsessed road movie chronicling a brief but deeply affecting relationship between an American satellite-mapping engineer (Ben Foster) and an expatriate Armenian art photographer (Lubna Azabal) who impulsively decide to travel together into uncharted territory &#8211; both literally and metaphorically.</p>
<p>Shot entirely on location in Armenia, <em>HERE</em> premiered at the 2011 Sundance and Berlin Film Festivals and has gone on to screen throughout the world.  Strand Releasing will distribute the film theatrically in early 2012.  A live installation version of the project, <em>HERE [ THE STORY SLEEPS ]</em>, premiered at The Museum of Modern Art in 2010 and will continue to tour internationally throughout 2012.</p>
<p>Additional credits include the lyric Aleutian Island documentary <em>DUTCH HARBOR: WHERE THE SEA BREAKS ITS BACK</em> (co-directed with Laura Moya), which screened in over 20 major international film festivals and toured internationally with live, improvised soundtrack accompaniment by the critically-acclaimed Boxhead Ensemble; short films, including the recent, award-winning <em>HOME MOVIE</em>; gallery and museum installations and exhibitons; and music videos for Sonic Youth, Bonnie &#8216;Prince&#8217; Billy (Will Oldham), Dirty Three, Chan Marshall (Cat Power), Sparklehorse and others. Commercial clients include American Airlines, Miller Beer, ESPN, Nikon, the Partnership for a Drug-Free America, Johnson &amp; Johnson, Siemens and UNICEF.</p>
<p>Awards and honors include the the 2011 Berlin Film Festival C.I.C.A.E. Award, a 2010 Cinereach / Sundance Institute Fellowship, nomination to the 2008 Cannes Film Festival Atelier, the 2008 Sundance / NHK International Filmmakers Award, 2007 Sundance Writers and Directors Lab Fellowships and grants from the Creative Capital, Rockefeller, Annenberg and Sloan Foundations.</p>
<p>King’s work has been exhibited at leading international film festivals and institutions, including Sundance, Rotterdam, Berlin, Karlovy Vary, London, Melbourne, Singapore. Vienna and Ann Arbor; MoMA, the Chicago Museum of Contemporary Art, Mass MoCA and the Aldrich Contemporary Art Center.  His work has been seen on all major U.S. broadcast networks, HBO, BBC, Sundance Channel, MTV, Channel 4 (UK) and others.</p>
<p>King has lectured at Yale University, The University of Southern California, Bard College, Wheaton College and the Graduate School at the City University of New York.  He graduated Magna Cum Laude from the School of Cinematic Arts at the University of Southern California in 1993.</p>
