A closing performance | Friday, June 19, 6pm 'Between the Retina' is a performance piece developed in relation to Lived Montage, @goki_muramoto's original goggle-based work featured in the exhibition, which cinematically shares participants’ fields of vision. For this closing performance, Muramoto is joined by artist Yeseul Song as a guest performer. Through goggle-like apparatuses, Muramoto, Song, and audience members form a live cinematic field in which vision is switched and recomposed in real time through attention and blinking. The experience of watching a film generated in real time from nothing but the eyes and eyelids of Goki Muramoto, Yeseul Song, and audience members, while directly facing the material bodies that produce it, forces into view the visual relationships among cinema, theater, and everyday life, while directly confronting the question of a path toward another person’s perspective. 'Between the Retina' A closing performance for 'Eyes Half Open', Goki Muramoto’s solo exhibition at Nguyen Wahed. Nguyen Wahed, 504 E 12th St, 10009 New York RSVP:

Stained Unravel ~ The palettes @harmvddorpel's Stained Unravel works are built from a cellular automaton, a system where small units (“cells”) interact with their immediate neighbours to produce evolving patterns over time. Each of the series’ seven works feature hand-built palettes tied to the title of each piece, and they don’t just define colour, but how colour changes over time. The palette therefore isn’t just aesthetic, it shapes how the whole system behaves. As cells hold their form, they gradually shift between specific tones, so you can actually see how long something has lasted. The result is that while all seven works share the same rule-set and visual vocabulary, they look like different worlds with their own character and emotional registers. Pictured: The Markov's Dream Palette → These are the same pure saturated RGB primaries first used in Markov's Window (2004) and returned to across two subsequent works before arriving here. This is the fourth instance of that palette, now applied to a cellular automaton. The 'memoryless' palette — from a work named for memorylessness — is here deployed in a system whose defining mechanism is memory (temporal staining). The colours that once described how a system forgets now describe how a system accumulates.
