Reception: Wednesday, January 18th, 8:30 pm–10 pm Brendan Threadgill’s exhibition Proving Ground, explores the legacy of Cold War nuclear test sites through a process of burying unexposed large format film. The film is buried at night and retrieved at night, allowing only the chemicals, minerals, and soil-filtered sunlight to expose the film. The resulting images form an alternate photographic history of otherwise nondescript tracts of desert and scrub brush. The effects of the nuclear tests are unseen in the landscape, save for a few well-worn craters and rusted signs signaling radioactivity. Much like Chernobyl, these sites have become refuges for the natural world, effectively off limits to any form of development for countless future generations. Proving Ground utilizes the indexical nature of a now mostly antiquated form of image making (chemical photography) to play with ideas of landscape and technology and the enduring legacies of global conflict and aesthetic production. Brendan Threadgill is an artist and writer currently living in Los Angeles. Exhibitions have included projects at LAXART (Los Angeles), The Suburban (Chicago), and Auto-Italia South East (London). Mr. Threadgill holds an MFA in Photography and Media from California Institute of the Arts and a BFA from The Art Institute of Chicago. He was also a Fulbright Fellow to Ukraine in 2004-2005.

Siddhartha Abbazi, Matthew Cowan, Scott Fairbanks, Thomas Fielding, Luis Ramirez, and Brynne Quinlan Reception: Wednesday, January 18th, 8:30 pm–10 pm We are hybrids, a patchwork of identities. The photographic self-portrait, once espoused as the most candid expression of self, is now little more than a warped mirror of a single facet of self that we choose to present to the world. To personify is to create the way in which we are unique. We create avatars to act as carefully constructed vessels for this personification; they are the means by which we are remembered. In return for our freedom to fashion these avatars, society expects us to identify ourselves within some cosmic Venn diagram: name, age, gender, religious views, education, political affiliations, socio- economic stratum, career, nationality... To identify is to show how we are the same. We are identified for comfort, to know that we are not alone and to show support and solidarity for others. How far does our personification match our identification? Does maturity imply a transition between the two? In this STATION exhibition we aim to show this clash between our desire to personify and the requirement that we identify.

Joshua Caleb Weibley Organized by Donnie Cervantes Exhibition designed with QIL IJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZABCDEFGH GIF is one of those computer words commonly used but rarely spoken. If I assume a general user, I opt for the more popular hard “G” /gif/ instead of the original /dʒɪf/ as in “gym”. To a hard G’s defense the G does stand for “Graphics”. However, the acronym’s own inventors have always emphatically stressed that it should sound like “Jif” the peanut butter. So “Jif” it is when I’m being choosy. Even then I tentatively amend that under my breath with a hard “G” to play things safe. I know this is internet nerd esoterica, but it underscores my point: that the word’s phonetic oscillations nicely evoke its temporal, oft-animated situation across multiple states. Visually and semantically, the GIF loops back on itself and the speaker like an unsure ouroboros forever updating its own tail. –Chris Coy Image: Erik Peterson, Rendering Error (Sunset), gif, 2012.

Reception: Wednesday, February 15th, 8:30–10 pm Date: Mon, 19 Dec 2011 3:08 To: m_rosa, Subject: Hhello Hello m_rosa, You were in your bathroom when I clicked into your broadcast page. Your bathroom is very beautiful. I’ve never felt so captivated with something for reasons I am unable to articulate. Perhaps it was the non-sex that halted my quick and passive perusing. The genuineness of your desire to share yourself with your watchers. I didn’t participate in the chat though I wondered if I should have, but thought—just another number on your guest-counter—maybe it was enough for me to watch you anonymously… silently. I felt as if there was some reciprocal and mutual desires to just (for lack of a better word) connect. To be present with you—script-less, erotic-less, face-less, name-less. Though, I wish you could have seen or felt my excitedness when I saw that you were about to play the piano. I used to play music. very best, istanton
