What does it take for two artists|humans to continuously sense and attune to the spin of their Planet? What creative, spiritual, philosophical and material consequences might result from living this awareness?
As artists living the Anthropocene, we are increasingly curious about what happens when we attempt to hold the thought of, pay close attention to, and track Earth-magnitude change as it plays out on local, daily-life scales. To explore that question, we are reshaping everyday actions and developing and honing new capacities of perception and attention at scales that are beyond our usual habits of mind.
East is a Circle is an experimental practice exploring what it takes for humans to rescale our daily live practices and ways of knowing to the current and evolving parameters of life on Earth. As conventional languages of “sunset,” “sunrise” and “east” begin to change meaning for us as a result of our performative research, we will change the stories we tell of them. As we multiply our perspectives on Earth in creative response to its ceaseless changes in direction, we will cultivate ways of "knowing" and "seeing" ourselves in relation to the planet that are, likewise, in-motion. Making such shifts in scale, language/concepts/meanings, and perspectives is one way that aesthetic practice might address, and live, the Anthropocene.
About smudge studio is a collaboration between Elizabeth Ellsworth and Jamie Kruse
Since 2005, smudge studio has pursued what we take to be our most urgent and meaningful task as artists and humans: to invent and enact practices capable of acknowledging and living in responsive relationship to forces of change that make the world. Through our current projects and performative research, we design and cultivate embodied practices that support humans in paying nuanced attention to the fast and intense material realities that are now emerging on a planetary scale — without leaving us reeling in states of distraction or despair.
From July 17 to August 3rd, Charmaine Bee will be working in the gallery to create a new installation piece. The exhibition will open on August 4th.
More information will be available during the artist's residency.

Excerpt from Hanne Tierney's play "Man, the Flower of All Flesh"
Held at Five Myles Gallery in 2005
Singer - Ten Nebula
In a review of this performance the New York Times the art critic Holland Cotter wrote: "Hanne Tierney calls it a theater without actors. I would also call it sculpture, installation art, sound art, dance and an act of magic." - Based on E.M Forster's story The Machine Stops, written in 1909, this work elaborates on the modern dread of the take-over by machines. The story centers around the woman Vashti and her son, who live in a claustrophobic underground society, run by The Machine, a tyrannical, communal brain. Slowly their fear, that the Machine will stop some day becomes real, and their environment begins to fall apart and eventually destroys itself. In this performance the story then returns to the beginning, a witty take on evolution, whereby the movements of plumbing pipes turn into the gestures of homo sapiens.
The artist Matt Freedman provides the prologue with a performance of his fascinating lightning sketches, a kind of fast-moving story-board technique with origins in 19th century fairground entertainment, that often doubled as an early form of news casting.
