4×6 photographs, single channel video<\/p>\n

This photographic installation is comprised of individual frames taken from Strauss\u2019 documentation of Shifting Zero<\/strong>, an performative action where the artist inscribed \u201cDon\u2019t Ask Don\u2019t Tell\u201d into the sand, only to have the waves continually wash the message away. The lack of order and haphazard design of the installation is meant to mimic the urgency and impossibility of Laurencia\u2019s performance. The title is an obvious reference to the repealed discriminatory ban on gays and lesbians in the army and is not only reflective of Strauss\u2019 identity as a queer artist, but is also describes the blissful and, at times, voluntary ignorance of many South Florida officials and residents regarding rising sea levels and the impending crises.<\/p>\n

Leonardo Remor \/ Sunset<\/strong>
\nVHS tapes, single channel video
\nRemor\u2019s installation, Sunset is an attempt to mitigate the restricted access to the waterfront for spiritual and recreational purposes. Over the years the waterfront of Porto Alegre has shifted from a public to private space through government sponsored subsidies and land grants. Sunset was originally a site specific work exhibited in OcupaMirante, a cultural center in Porto Alegre and consisted of 20 VHS recordings of local sunsets\u037e viewers were prompted to pick their own sunset and meditate on the slow imagery from one of the few remaining vantage points where the sunset can be seen in real time. The poignancy of this work comes with its context that these VHS tapes, like the giant LED sunsets in China, provide people with images of natural scenes they no longer have access to. S unset offers a glimpse into our post-future where land at the water\u2019s edge becomes uninhabitable and our only access to natural scenes is through images and simulations.<\/p>\n
