			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em><strong>INTERSECTION</strong></em></p>
<p>A sound-based, site-specific installation by Pat Badt and Scott Sherk                                  Curated by Creighton Michael                        February 10-March 2, 2012</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>The LAB: GALLERY </strong>is pleased to present <a href="http://thelabgallery.com/2012/02/intersection/" target="_blank"><em><strong>Intersection</strong></em></a>, a sound-based, site-specific installation by <em><strong>Pat Badt and Scott Sherk</strong></em><em>.</em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em> </em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Badt and Sherk&#8217;s creative practice involves cultivating awareness of the qualities of specific spaces through the realignment of the senses.<em> </em>This installation, <em><strong>Intersection</strong></em>, concentrates on the stop and go of the midtown traffic outside the gallery, focusing on the pulse and energy of the city.  A hanging string column cycles between stillness and movement, while real time video  sonograms and spectrograms are projected on to the gallery walls making the sound of the intersection visual.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="624" height="353" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=36043803&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show_title=0&amp;show_byline=0&amp;show_portrait=0&amp;color=00adef&amp;fullscreen=1&amp;autoplay=0&amp;loop=0" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="624" height="353" src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=36043803&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show_title=0&amp;show_byline=0&amp;show_portrait=0&amp;color=00adef&amp;fullscreen=1&amp;autoplay=0&amp;loop=0" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></em></p>
<h5><em><em>Intersection: The Teaser</em></em></h5>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Pat Badt and Scott Sherk</strong> have collaborated on several site-specific installations, shown at Katonah Museum of Art, the Kim Foster Gallery, Point, Line, Lafayette College, Marshall University and Martial Arts Center, Memphis.  Pat Badt is a painter and a Professor of Art at Cedar Crest College.  Scott Sherk is sculptor who often works with sound.  He most recently completed a sound project for the Katonah Museum of Art and is a Professor of Art at Muhlenberg College.  Together Pat Badt and Scott Sherk curate thethirdbarn.org.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">All works of art and performances in THE LAB:GALLERY are shown within  the confines of the space, and are intended to be viewed by the audience  from the sidewalk.  This event is free and viewable 24/7.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>By Carol Mickett and Robert Stackhouse<br />
Curated by Creighton Michael<br />
January 13 &#8211; February 3 2012</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>THE LAB: GALLERY</strong> is pleased to present <em><strong>Breath of Water</strong></em>, an installation by Carol Mickett and Robert Stackhouse. <strong> </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><em>Breath of Water</em></strong> is part of the artist&#8217;s on-going exploration into the representation of water both two-dimensionally and three-dimensionally. Their work is framed by the ideas of two Presocratic philosophers: Thales and Heraclitus. Thales discusses the omnipresence of water and it&#8217;s shape-shifting ability when he claimed that everything is water. Heraclitus, by asserting that one can not step in the same river twice, argues that identity is deeply rooted in change. <em>Breath of Water</em> looks at winter water as an almost secret environment not unlike the world inside a snow globe.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><em><a href="http://mickettstackhouse.com/"><strong>Carol Mickett and Robert Stackhouse</strong></a></em><em> have been collaborating since 1999. During this time, they have produced large-scale sculpture, painting, and prints. Mickett comes to the collaboration from a background in philosophy, film, radio, poetry, and theater. Stackhouse followed a traditional visual arts path, and his individual work can be found in museum collections around the world including the Museum of Modern Art, The National Gallery of Australia, and the Corcoran Gallery of Art. Both Mickett and Stackhouse hold Ph.Ds: Mickett in philosophy and Stackhouse has an honorary doctorate from his alma mater, the University of South Florida. </em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2><em><strong>Fantastic Lonely Heart</strong></em><strong><br />
Installation by Hyong Nam Ahn</strong><strong> Curator: Soojung Hyun</strong><strong> December 2nd-January 6th 2012<br />
</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>The LAB (for installation + performance art)</strong> is pleased to present <em><strong>Fantastic Lonely Heart</strong></em>, a light based installation by the Korean artist Hyong Nam Ahn.</p>
<p>Ahn uses &#8220;the magical and transcendent&#8221; qualities  of neon light as a way of exposing the arduous aspects of the human condition; much like the great Spanish philosopher Ortega Y Gasset did in the 1920&#8242;s writing on the conflicts intrinsic to modernity and the impact of industrialization&#8217;s rapid spread, specifically regarding the increasing disappearance of human values. Despite being separated by both decades and continents, the importance of maintaining an equal balance between spiritual and material realities is a philosophy shared by both the spaniard and this sculptor here.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><em><a href="http://www.ahlfoundation.org/">The AHL Foundation</a></em></strong><em> is a non-profit organization formed in 2003 by Sook Nyu Lee Kim to support Korean artists living in the United States and to promote exposure of their work in today’s highly competitive contemporary art world. In 2004, the foundation established an annual competition that is open to all artists of Korean ancestry living in the United States. AHL awards four monetary prizes each year and has been mounting bi-annual exhibitions to display the winning works. Since 2008, AHL has advanced to an annual exhibition, and this year, 2010, AHL has expanded its awards to honor five artists, thus broadening their scope of diversity and opportunity. <strong><a href="http://www.ahlfoundation.org/">website</a></strong></em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">The London based group of artists, <strong>AMBruno</strong>,  presents an installation of 101 individual film works by 40 artists.  All the pieces are silent and of exactly 101 seconds (1′ 41″) duration,  these will be screened at The LAB on an array of monitors positioned  throughout the space.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Working in various disciplines the members of <strong>AMBruno</strong> were brought together by ‘their wish to extend beyond their particular  discipline, be it painting, photography, video, performance or  sculpture’. Initially this exploration focused on the medium of artists’  books; a number of which are now in private and major public  collections, including those of the Tate and the Victoria &amp; Albert  Museum.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>AMBruno</strong>‘s commitment to  experimentation led the members to take their work beyond the material  temporality of the book, into that of the moving image. It was proposed  that each member develop a screen work with the single formal constraint  of 101 seconds duration; being more than a clip but less than a short.</p>

<h5 style="text-align: justify;"><em>Teaser</em> <em>by John Birdsong</em></h5>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Twenty-three pieces were shown at The  Stanley &amp; Audrey Burton Gallery, University of Leeds in March 2010.  The success of this has encouraged the group to expand the project by  inviting an open international submission for new works, made to the  same time specification. In order to truly represent the formidable  variety and quality of proposed pieces 101 works have been selected.  These films have been produced with a wide range of technical means,  from mobile phones to high-definition video. Forms include animation,  live action, sequential stills, written text and computer-generated  image.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">101 was initiated by Sophie Loss. The  project was developed and co-ordinated by Sophie Loss and John McDowall.  Additional supervision by Joanna Hill with the help of Judy Goldhill,  Claire Deniau and Steve Perfect.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>&#8216;APOLOGY&#8217; PERFORMANCE INSTALLATION BY KATA MEJIA OCTOBER 7-28, 2011 501 LEX AT 47TH ST </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong> </strong>We are pleased to announce Kata Mejia&#8217;s fifth show at The LAB (for installation + performance art). <strong><em>APOLOGY</em></strong>,  a performance installation, questions the meaning, effects and  repercussions of both asking for, and being asked for forgiveness.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Through  physical actions that transcend the spoken, written and felt qualities  of an apology, the performance installation will focus on the idea that  an apology cannot repair damage. &#8220;Receiving an apology may at times even cause a feeling of emptiness within those wronged.&#8221; explains Mejia.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The  artist  will use her body to paint the gallery floor. Using a paint  soaked thread to create winding, meandering traces in an abstract oval  shape, she will use only her feet to pull her proned body and the thread  backwards through the   space. Mejia&#8217;s struggle to complete the action  will reference the idea that an apology is a difficult journey for those  who receive it as well as a weight laden with guilt for those who offer  it. Furthermore, as the artist moves throughout the space the lines on  the floor will build up causing past lines to become less intense and  less significant, reflecting the way memory and possibly pain diminish  with time.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Performances will take place October 6th and 7th, 6-8pm. The installation will be on view October 7-28th.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em><strong>Kata Mejia</strong></em><em> is a performance artist with a background in painting and dance who  lives and works in Philadelphia. She graduated from The School of the  Art Institute of Chicago with a Masters degree in Performance in 2004.  She received her BFA from Universidad Nacional de Colombia in Medellin.  She has been awarded several grants and scholarships, including the  James Nelson Raymond Fellowship in 2004, the Trustee Scholarship from  The School of The Art Institute of Chicago, a Colombian Government  Scholarship for Graduate Studies abroad, and a Graduate Studies  Scholarship from Universidad Nacional de Colombia in 2002. Kata Mejía  received a 2009 Fellowship from the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts.<strong><a href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=mnm6t5cab&amp;et=1107665707124&amp;s=0&amp;e=0019T2Rc-4343mfmrhwAQknXlOHlhA-wbUnRfv7mCB_vIJyYF0ZS_j3kRt6bs6EBn-X2v0yt70mrI5yb75Wd2-s_nJQ94ZG_1R4ov_emSf0jLXH4o_u0zRKpg==" target="_blank">Kata Mejia website</a></strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><em><a>The LAB (for installation + performance art)</a></em></strong><em> is a New York based, converted storefront turned fishbowl producing 20+  fast paced performance art and installation exhibitions annually. Aimed  at the furious midtown foot traffic, The LAB&#8217;s programming is designed  to confront modern relationships between art and audience and seeks to  force an interaction between the high energy, &#8220;outrospective&#8221;  exhibitions it produces and the nearly 25,000 daily passersby. The LAB  is located on the North East corner of 47th and Lex and is a Roger Smith  Collaboration.<strong><a href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=mnm6t5cab&amp;et=1107665707124&amp;s=0&amp;e=0019T2Rc-4343mfmrhwAQknXlOHlhA-wbUnRfv7mCB_vIJyYF0ZS_j3kRt6bs6EBn-X2v0yt70mrI7Ftqvk0exyuoIQoGvFhUBBxRLXo6Z0FIa8aVcKBlUX2A==" target="_blank"> The LAB Gallery website</a></strong></em></p>

<h3><strong>PASSING A BUNCH OF BEETLES PREPARING THEIR GRACIOUS DINNER PARTY</strong></h3>
<p><strong>INSTALLATION </strong><br />
<strong>BY JONGIL MA</strong><br />
<strong>WITH ELIZABETH WINTON</strong><br />
<strong>SEPTEMBER 9-30, 2011</strong><br />
<strong>501 LEXINGTON AVE AT 47TH ST</strong><strong><br />

<p style="text-align: justify;">In his second show at The LAB Gallery, <strong>Jongil Ma</strong> will be collaborating with <strong>Elizabeth Winton</strong> to create a forested enclave that will transform The LAB into a real life illustration as if `from a children’s book. The scene will include a troupe of elaborate, fantastical beetles and a wolf preying over them as they prepare for a feast. They will be surrounded by both urban and wild landscapes with flickering buildings, leafless dead trees, paper cutouts and bushes.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Jongil Ma, best known for creating large abstract installations of bound colorful wood strips, and Elizabeth Winton, who has been working with mixed media collage and painting for years, will come together to build a surreal picture of our time’s concerns. Steeped in both humor and a more serious social awareness, the installation will illuminate the unique fears of our current time. The piece will play off innate tensions between the playful and political, the individual and the social, the real and manipulated.</p>

They love Brooklyn and create styles of beer to capture its essence, focusing on the growing community of artists and creative spirit. The Sweet Action Ale is a unique cream ale that focuses on the simple balancing of malts and hops. It has 33 IBUS (International Bittering Units) and an ABC of 5.2%.</span></p>

This gives the beer a crispness that is associated with lagers, and more yeasty flavor normally associated with ales. <em>Enjoy a cold Sweet Action at Henry’s Rooftop Bar. Fact: It’s on the sixteenth floor of @RSHotel.</em></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Baskerville; color: black;">Helen’s work is rooted in the built world of the urban environment. She uses architecture to develop her layered drawings, which are entwined into the photographic process and directly used as<br />
negatives to create photographic drawings. Using the space at The LAB Gallery, Helen will push the concept of her process further. Through manipulation of the space, she will project the outside environment directly into the exhibition space, turning it into a camera obscura. From within, her drawings will unfold to engulf the space and thus, magnify the nuances of urban life. The passage of time and movement on the streets outside will be depicted as Helen’s drawings grow over the duration of the project. </span><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQqx4fhA1NQ"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Baskerville; mso-font-kerning: 18.0pt;">The Lab Gallery Presents: Helen Dennis Studio Visit (video)</span></a><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Baskerville; mso-font-kerning: 18.0pt;"> <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><a href="http://helendennis.com/home.html"><strong><em><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Baskerville; color: black;">Helen Dennis</span></em></strong></a><em><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Baskerville; color: black; font-style: normal;"> was born in the UK and now resides in Brooklyn, NY.
