Exit Art is pleased to announce the opening of E.P.A. (Environmental Performance Actions), the first project of S.E.A, a large-scale program dealing with current environmental concerns and the way artists respond to them. E.P.A is a group exhibition surveying recent performance work from around the world that addresses current environmental crises. The exhibition will consist of videos, photographs, texts, related ephemera and a film program documenting recent performances. For this opening project we have invited curator, Amy Lipton, and founder/co-curator Patricia Watts of ecoartspace, a leading international environmental arts organization, to collaborate with Exit Art on the organization and presentation of this material. E.P.A. will include performance documentation from more than 30 international artists. These works, created in the public sphere, draw attention to and engage the public in a dialogue about issues such as climate change, watersheds, urbanization and, ultimately, human survival. E.P.A. will set the precedence for future exhibitions of S.E.A. dealing with environmental issues including The End of Oil, about the global oil crisis and alternative energy, and Consume, about food production, agricultural and sustainable living practices. An exhibition of historical social-environmental art works is also planned to place this work in context.
Artists include: Brandon Ballengée, Vaughn Bell/Sarah Kavage/Nicole Kistler, Mark Brest van Kempen, Carissa Carman/Joanna Lake, Susanne Cockrell/Ted Purves, Xavier Cortada, Carrie Dashow/Jesse Pearlman Karlsberg, Erica Fielder, Ozzie Forbes, Futurefarmers, The Center for Tactical Magic, Fritz Haeg, Amy Howden-Chapman, Basia Irland, Scot Kaplan, Carolyn Lambert, Robin Lasser, Kathryn Miller, Miss Rockaway Armada, Matthew Moore, Eve S. Mosher, EcoArtTech: Cary Peppermint/Christine Nadir, Andrea Polli and Joe Gimore with Dr. Patrick Market, Rapid Response (Cobb/Fend/Fischer/Meyer), James Reed and Social Sculpture Research Unit/Earth Agenda Projects, Austin Shull, Brooke Singer/Brian Rigney Hubbard, Anne-Katrin Spiess, and Chris Sollars.
E.P.A. opens Saturday, March 15th and runs through May 3rd.

Sleep Waking, created by artists Brendan Burns and Fernando Orellana, uses recorded brain
Sleep Waking, created by artists Brendan Burns and Fernando Orellana, uses recorded brain activity during rapid eye movement (R.E.M.) sleep to determine its movements.
BRAINWAVE: Common Senses responds to current advancements in neurological research by visualizing and investigating the brain's capacity for sense perception, memory, emotion and logic. The artists in this exhibition redefine this research in a different way, abandoning literal representations of the brain and categorical analysis in favor of works that take, as starting points, elements from neuroscience and flipping these ideas on their heads.
These works create an alternate discourse between art and science, encouraging the viewer to consider the brain not only as the center of human activity but as a site for interpretation. This exhibition presents the brain as a site for scientific and philosophical debates, for examining our relationship to the world -- and for questioning our common sense.
This exhibition is the second in Exit Art's Unknown Territories series of exhibitions that explore the impact of scientific advances on contemporary culture and examine in particular how contemporary artists interpret and interact with the new knowledge and possibilities created by technological innovation in the 21st century.

Electricity is one of life's most fundamental forces; it courses through our bodies and powers our computers. Today, the shortage and high cost of electricity is a pressing issue. The rethinking of energy production and consumption is imperative as we face depleted natural resources, environmental damage, and exponential population growth.
Electric Lab is dedicated to experimentation and art-making practices within the ranges of electricity. Artists were asked to suggest new ways to access electricity and explore its power. This exhibition is inspired by and dedicated to the scientist Nicola Tesla, who desired free access of electricity for all.

JUMPING THE FENCES.
A PERFORMANCE PROJECT.
THE ACTION OF JUMPING 51 FENCES IN DIFFERENT LOCATIONS AROUND THE CITY,
AND AROUND THE WORLD.
THE ARTIST WILL WEAR A MASK LIKE DISGUISE TO REMAIN ANONYMOUS.
FENCES PROTECT AND ISOLATE. THEY ARE A DEMARCATION OF AN AREA,
A SYMBOL OF POSSESSION, A 'KEEP OFF' SIGN AND A COMMAND TO STAY WITHIN AN AREA.
THEY ARE A DIVIDER AND UNIFIER, PROVIDE SECURITY AND FEAR.
THEIR DUALITY IS OUR HISTORY. FENCES AND BORDERS ARE REASONS FOR WAR.
THEY ARE REPRESENTATIONS OF DIFFERENCES, LIMITATIONS FOR COMUNICATION, TERRITORIAL CONTROL, AND A PSYCHOLOGICAL FRIGHT TO PEOPLE, IDEAS AND CULTURES.
THE PURPOSE OF THIS PERFORMANCE IS TO TRANSGRESS THOSE LIMITATIONS, GIVING THE ARTIST A PHYSICAL AND INTELLECTUAL FREEDOM IN THE UNKNOWN; TO DISCOVER WHAT LAY ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FENCE.
THE DOCUMENTATION OF THIS PIECE WILL INCLUDE A POEM AND PHOTO FOR EACH JUMP OF THE FENCE.
JUMPING THE FENCES IS PHOTOGRAPHY, PERFORMANCE, POETRY AND HISTORY IN A TIME SPACE OF 13 MONTHS.

A preview of Charles Juhasz-Alvarado: Complicated Stories, now on display at Exit Art through July 12.
Complicated Stories presents the artist's past and present bodies of works as an ongoing dialogue on social consciousness and cultural identity. Charles Juhasz-Alvarado's elaborate site-specific installations engage the viewer through narrative, performance, audio, and sculpture to introduce a fantasy world that serves as an acute and humorous allegory of today's multicultural society and the artist's own background.

Excerpts from Performances by Rafael Sanchez, winner of the Ida Applebroog Award, at Exit Art.
Exit Art is an independent vision of contemporary culture prepared to react immediately to important issues that affect our lives. We do experimental, historical and unique presentations of aesthetic, social, political and environmental issues. We absorb cultural differences that become prototype exhibitions. We are a center for multiple disciplines. Exit Art is a 25-year-old cultural center in New York City founded by Directors Jeanette Ingberman and Papo Colo. It has grown from a pioneering alternative art space into a model artistic center for the 21st century committed to supporting artists whose quality of work reflects the transformations of our culture. Exit Art is internationally recognized for its unmatched spirit of inventiveness and consistent ability to anticipate the newest trends in the culture. With a substantial reputation for curatorial innovation and depth of programming in diverse media, Exit Art is always on the verge of change.
