Fort Gondo Compound for the Arts: Friday, 15 January 2010

"Over Head" is the first exhibition in Beverly Year, a year long series of women artists at Fort Gondo. It will feature animation and sound work by Nicole Stevens. The opening reception will be held Friday, January 15th, from 7-10pm.

Featuring cutup footage from the New York Stock Exchange archive, different groups take turns continuously acting out the narrative of ringing the bell in the opening/ closing ceremonies. Dealing with the intimate and dually abstract experience of understanding the economy, the sound pieces feature daily recordings of the Dow Jones Industrial Average and NASDAQ phrasing.

The show continues through January 30th by appointment
