"“—But who is that on the other side of you?”
Treleaven's and P.’s works illustrate a bold fascination with perceptual shifts. Overall they share an obfuscating quality, but one that paradoxically increases the depth of perception or sensation – out of the murk emerge clearer, unexpected ideas – something beginning in nature, with the immediately perceivable, but moving beyond it. Bridges that create a psychic crossing over the lacuna between what’s felt versus what’s merely perceived. In P.'s case, it's a response to natural phenomenon – mists, dusks, sunsets and sunrises, light on water, the anonymous model, while Treleaven employs a singular combination of collage and traditional photographic techniques to create uncanny vignettes and fleeting rendezvous of figures and shadow. The sense of fugitive marvel inherent in both artists’ work moves analogously from their landscapes to their portraits; the countenances, taken from vintage gay publications in P.’s case, or from Treleaven’s own studio, belie their origins and adopt the atmosphere they are submerged in. Meanwhile the landscapes receive all the sensuality and possibility that the figures suggest, making for a strange feeling of “interiority” that works to both collapse and extend the picture field at the same time, refining, while also deliciously complicating, what we have traditionally come to expect from documentation and rendering.

The Touching of Hands

Saturday, July 10, 2010 at 7:30pm
Tickets - $7, available at door.
“The title for the show comes from a remark that Gysin made to Genesis, and Genesis to me: that magical training can only be passed on by the touching of hands.” — Scott Treleaven
An evening of solo and collaborative projects by Scott Treleaven and Genesis Breyer P-Orridge*, focusing on the shared influence of artist and mystic Brion Gysin. Gysin’s close friendship with Breyer P-Orridge, and in turn her friendship with Treleaven, has over time given rise to a number of aesthetic and philosophical affinities found in the work of all three, communicated from one to the other by direct contact.
Each has explored, in his or her own way, the nature of extreme mental states, ideas of eros and thanatos, and modern applications of occult thought. Permutations of the cut-up technique, invented by Gysin in the 1950s, can be found in the reordering of visual information by both Breyer P-Orridge and Treleaven. A preoccupation with the legend of the Cult of the Assassins led to Gysin collaborator William Burroughs’s novel 'The Wild Boys', Breyer P-Orridge’s collective Thee Temple Ov Psychick Youth and, later, Treleaven’s The Salivation Army, his VHS classic about a mid-90s movement centered around a Wild Boys/Psychick Youth-inspired zine. All demonstrate what Treleaven calls a “pre-Web concept” of “total intimacy and privacy, unmediated by uncontainable social networks.”
Tonight's program will consist of rarely-seen Temple Ov Psychick Youth ritual videos (circa 1990), a newly completed piece by Breyer P-Orridge, Weird Woman (2010), and The Salivation Army (2002), culminating with a performance by Chicago-based drone metal outfit Locrian and a screening of Last 7 Words (2009), Treleaven's affectionate and ethereal Super-8 portrait of Breyer P-Orridge.
* "Breyer P-Orridge" is the 3rd Being createx by the collaborative fusion of the artists Lady Jaye & Genesis of which they are each an active half.

BRION GYSIN : DREAM MACHINE
NEW MUSEUM
New York
"The first US survey of the work of Brion Gysin (b. 1916, Taplow, UK; d. 1986, Paris), an irrepressible innovator, serial collaborator, and subversive spirit who continues to inspire artists today. The exhibition will include over 250 drawings, books, paintings, photo-collages, films, slide projections, and sound works, as well as the Dreamachine—a kinetic light sculpture that utilizes the flicker effect to induce visions...
...More than two decades after his death, his work continues to attract the interest of a new generation of artists drawn to Gysin's radical inderdisciplinarity, including Rirkrit Tiravanija, Cerith Wyn Evans, Trisha Donnelly, and Scott Treleaven. The exhibition is curated by Laura Hoptman, Kraus Family Senior Curator, and will be on view in the New Museum's second-floor gallery. It will be accompanied by an illustrated catalogue co-published with Hugh Merrell, Ltd. which will include scholarly essays and appreciations by contemporary artists, musicians, and poets."

In Numbers: Serial Publications by Artists
This exhibition represents the first serious effort to define a neglected art form—the serial publication. Artists have long seized on magazines and postcards to create new kinds of art, often the most avantgarde of its time. The exhibition will survey these works—from Wallace Berman’s Semina through Eleanor Antin’s 100 Boots, Robert Heinecken’s modified Periodicals, the Japanese Provoke group, to Raymond Pettibon’s Tripping Corpse and Maurizio Cattelan’s Permanent Food—and will offer a glimpse of rare works by Continuous Project, and a special appearance by North Drive Press. These works have had a profound effect on a diverse range of contemporary artists—such as Terence Koh, Tom Sachs, Scott Hug, Scott Treleaven and Roni Horn—who have embraced the form and contributed to an explosion of new artists’ publications. The fully illustrated 450 page reference book, In Numbers: Serial Publications by Artists Since 1955, edited by Andrew Roth and Philip Aarons documents the histories of 60 such publications, alongside completely illustrated bibliographies by Victor Brand with essays by Clive Phillpot, Nancy Princethal, and William S. Wilson, and an interview with Collier Schorr to provide historical context. Copies of In Numbers will be available for purchase at Artbook@X during the exhibition.

COMPASSION
Featuring: Marina Abramovic, Bas Jan Ader,
Michael Bühler-Rose, Alfredo Jaar, Terence Koh,
Gareth Long, Yoko Ono, Chrysanne Stathacos, and Scott Treleaven. Curated by AA Bronson
The Institute of Art, Religion, and Social Justice is pleased to invite you to the opening of its first exhibition, Compassion on Thursday, November 19th
from 6:10 pm.
COMPASSION is an exhibition which explores the multi-valency of a term. In today's shifting political, economic, and ecological landscape, the need for compassion has never been greater — compassion understood as mutual interdependence, knowledge of self and others, and concern for human flourishing. We are interwoven across lines of difference. Compassion requires us to explore our interdependence, to open ourselves to truths beyond our everyday experience, and to embody that complexity of being. Artists often awaken compassion most profoundly and form our imaginations such that we can envision our interconnectedness.
"The exhibition is the inaugural venture of a project called the Institute for Art, Religion and Social Justice, recently founded at the seminary by Mr. Bronson, who is a graduate student in divinity studies. So far the institute exists as much spiritually as materially, but it has a handful of members (Mr. Bronson is one), a base (the seminary) and a web site. Even as a concept, it’s like nothing else in the city, and this quiet show, far from the art world downtown, bodes well for its future."

CALL + RESPONSE
A collaboration between
Terence Hannum + Scott Treleaven
Call & Response is a visual dialogue between Terence Hannum and Scott Treleaven. Over the course of one year the artists emailed back and forth, trafficking in images both personal and culled from their extensive archives. When the words were stripped away, what remained was a record of an excavation of their own peculiar belief (and disbelief) systems, overlapping and colliding throughout the conversation. Call & Response pays homage to their devotion to underground zines, nefarious causes, cults, hours lost and gained, corrupted architecture, and youth pinioned in agony/ecstacy. Hazy stills from videos and films carry over formal concerns and a similar tone of darkness that these two friends share, punctuated by drawings and scrawls, xeroxes and vellum.

BLAKE BOOK
by David Lewis
Blake Book compiles work from fourteen artists who were asked by David Lewis to make a piece in response to a two-part exercise on William Blake: "Take something from Blake and add it to the world, to form a new poet, a new artist, and a new world. Repeat until there is no more Blake." and "Add to Blake something from the world, to form a new Blake and a new world. Repeat until there is no more world."

Spring/Summer 2010 issue: out March 18th
(available in the US March 29th)
Featuring a 14 page photo editorial by Scott Treleaven in collaboration with stylist Alister Mackie:
"Scott Treleaven is something of a new wave Renaissance man, working in film, collage, drawing and photography. But this marks the Paris-based artist’s grandest entrance into the fashion arena. Stylist Alister Mackie approached him about collaborating on a 14 page story for the spring issue of AnOther Man. The quasi-surreal pictures are inspired by 19th-century Paris’s 'Club des Hashashins' - a bohemian literary group that boasted decadent gents such as Charles Baudelaire and Alexandre Dumas as members."

PASSING STRANGE
Scott Treleaven
"...a photographic study of weathered stone statuary and androgynous young men lit by an intense sunlight. Treleaven includes an excerpted text on Giordano Bruno's embrace of heliocentrism among his photographs and photocollages, a fact that suggests that his real subject is indeed the sun, which has the power to provide clarity and illumination as well as to burn and fade everything it touches."
