It highlights a pause for respect and discovery that is necessary to imagine new, relevant relations—whether social, intellectual, emotional, or cosmic. The point being: we can’t know everything, but still we need to envision novel forms of communing. Listening to the five hundred and forty-four voices that responded to their open call, we gradually selected a constellation of twenty-nine works that resonate with this theme. The exhibition brings together two performances, two distributed projects, and twenty-five works for the gallery by participating artists far and wide. The catalogue takes the form of a website that can produce encoded PDF communiqués around the thematics of this year’s biennial. Gratitude to all applicants. This was hard. S. & P. A.I.R.

Palm Project Stephanie Bernheim GALLERY II   May 25 - June 18, 2011 Opening Reception, May 26, 6-8pm A.I.R Gallery is pleased to announce Palm Project,  an exhibition of new work by Stephanie Bernheim. Stephanie Bernheim's new works tease out the ambiguous space of technologies and their capacity to create pictures wholly on their own. With her Palm Pilot's camera Bernheim captures traces of travel and the meanderings of a curious eye. The photographs are illusive; often a confrontation with a singular object or moment is displaced by subjective shorthand. Throughout Palm Project images remain but are not what they seem.
