Traces of Times Past - Angel Island Speed Shows

 

Traces of Times Past

Angel Island Speed shows

Temporary space occupations @ Angel Island’s Fort McDowell’s East Garrison,

South–East shore, 37.86˚N 122.43˚W

A squatter residency in 2 acts

“Traces of times past” are ephemeral performative drawing installations in a former hospital at Fort McDowell on Angel Island in the Bay of San Francisco.

The project is part of the evolving NIESATT drawing and multimedia hybridization project an evolving exploration of time and the process of exercising being. “Traces of times past” are reenacted, retracings of possible walking patterns in a once busy military hospital, using white letter-size paper to draw on floor-spaces, building lines that are connecting rooms, becoming aesthetic incisions in a morbid environment.  “Traces of times past” is a project that sees drawing as an activity rather then a product, emphasizing the process over the result.

The project consists of two ephemeral occupation sessions, each between one and two hours of continuous floor-work. "Traces of Times Past" is video and photo-documented, incorporating sounds and shapes of visitors checking out the space. This project is a disclosure of the artistic process for an unprepared audience. 

Session 1 - October 1^st, 2013, 10:40 am – 11:55 am, sunny, light breeze,  21˚C

    - Approximately 10 visitors, no comment

    - Strong facial itching after the session, probably caused by mildew, dust and ancient skin cells.

"Traces of Times Past" derived from the "On old Path" project.

On Old Path

On Old Path (Auf alten Pfaden ) is a photo documentation of the evolving, ephemeral NIESATT outdoors drawing/installation/performance - a conceptual temporary interactions with nature project, where action and object become one. The project explores ancient trails and fictional ancient trails, as well as the idea of the long gone and still there, the path and passing - touching aspects of walking patterns, transitions, migrations and repetitions.

On Old Path is a tribute to Bashō's "The narrow road to the deep north" in which he suggests that "every day is a journey, and the journey itself home."

While being on an On Old Path bitten and stung by bugs and mosquitoes, performing to the various sounds of birds and the elements, my mind circles around Richard Long's a line made by walking, Duerer's Reisen, also Dieter Roth's garden sculpture, Zhuangzi's philosophy, Noah Purifoy's outdoor projects and many others that might come up in a stream of thought.
