All That Is Seen And Unseen

Open­ing: Sat­ur­day, August 19, 2 – 5pm
Artist Talk: Sat­ur­day, August 19, 3pm

All That Is Seen And Unseen, a solo art exhi­bi­tion by Amelia Marzec at Flux Fac­to­ry on Gov­er­nors Island, presents a col­lec­tion of objects on the top­ic of a ​“queer tech­no­log­i­cal East­ern Euro­pean diaspora.”

The instal­la­tion includes: shrines that broad­cast com­ing out sto­ries over Fam­i­ly Radio Ser­vice; a type­face inspired by an AI’s opin­ion of ear­ly Slav­ic writ­ing sys­tems; a sculp­ture that lis­tens for mil­i­tary air­craft through a radio hid­den in a folk art ceil­ing dec­o­ra­tion; and dig­i­tal pho­tographs that depict the body in rit­u­al gar­ments from Pagan mar­riage and Catholic priest­hood. Soft­ware with imagery based on tra­di­tion­al paper­cuts, depict­ing women’s bod­ies, weapons, and pre-Chris­t­ian sym­bols, will be shown. It will also be pro­ject­ed on church build­ings and insti­tu­tion­al archi­tec­ture dur­ing the run of the show, in con­junc­tion with the Island Lumi­nar­ia exhibition.

Addi­tion­al­ly, a vir­tu­al real­i­ty piece fea­tur­ing a walk­ing sim­u­la­tor filled with impo­tent paper doll tanks will be pre­sent­ed at Har­vest­works in Nolan Park.

Flux Fac­to­ry is one of the 2023 Gov­er­nors Island Arts Orga­ni­za­tions in Residence
