San Jose Museum of Art invited me to take part in their multi-stage program <i><a href="http://www.sjmusart.org/around-the-table" target="_blank">Around the Table</a> </i>that will look at the politics of eating.<br />
<br />
I will be represented with a SHARE
SEEDS station. In fact the station was launched at the San Jose Museum of Art months ahead as a way to announce their upcoming programs. Since shipping a station made of scrap wood to San Jose seems a bit ridiculous SJMA built it on site according to our <a href="http://www.blogger.com/"><span id="goog_1335555994"></span>downloadable DIY instructions</a>, using scrap
wood from their workshop. After the show the station will be adopted
permanently by another San Jose location.<br />

The third thread involving basketmaking with bale straps evolved into <a href="http://www.gayechan.com/projects-gallery/sweat/sweat.html" target="_blank">SWEAT</a> - part theater and part demonstration, where I made baskets as a durational performance over a period of several days. SWEAT was first staged at <a href="http://accessgallery.ca/all/events/sweat/" target="_blank">Access Gallery</a> in Vancouver in April 2012 and 3 months later as a part of <em><a href="http://burnabyartgallery.tumblr.com/" style="color: #eb4102; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">KIOSK</a></em>, a series of off-site public art projects organized by the <a href="http://www.burnaby.ca/Things-To-Do/Arts-and-Heritage/Burnaby-Art-Gallery/Exhibitions/KIOSK.html" style="color: #eb4102; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">Burnaby Art Gallery</a>.

SWEAT also included a relational component. For each performance I salvaged the bale straps from the
streets, as well as from neighboring shopkeepers who save them for me. Some
have agreed to do so in exchange for a finished basket, others have
agreed just because. </div>

One of which is the disruption and denigration of knowledge and skills that support autonomy from capitalism. Out of the many skills that sustain subsistence life, it is interesting that basket-weaving has come to be the most belittled. In this regard, I saw my recently acquired basket making skills to be an opportunity.<br />

The first was a group called [Ladies Tea Party]. I was initially scared by the name but it turned out to be a group of retired and/or un/under-employed women who meet every Friday at Oppenheimer Park in Vancouver. I did second my workshop for Mary Babcock's class. Funny since Mary is the head of the Fibers Area at the University of Hawaii at Manoa and an expert weaver. The image above is a still from a (dizzying) YouTube video made by one of Mary's students Michael Hippolito. </div>

Last but not least, I made an exchange with Vivi - a personal tutorial for the most delicious apple pie. This whole thing is a bit ironic since a part of what I love about being department chair is not having to do as many photo demos. And 'demos' end up as a central force of my creative practice!!!<br />

I was on sabbatical from August 2012 to 2013, based primarily in Vancouver, Canada.</div>

In August 2012 I'd wanted to get a case of tomatoes to make sauce so I went to visit Annie Moss who owns an organic foods distribution company. While there I noticed heaps of baling straps. These single-use straps are found around nearly every box shipped across the globe. Binding box to box, paper to paper, and everything to pallets. Even though Annie intends to recycle them the waste factor irked me to no end. I gave myself the task of figuring out how to reuse or upcycle them. After countless youtube videos and cut up fingers I managed to make a basket using a basic weaving technique common around the world. This gesture led to several interrelated threads, the first being an experiment with bartering. </div>

I brought my first basket to Annie and made her a proposition – with her trash I would make her a basket each week, and she would let me have as much ‘seconds’ as I want. Seconds, in their terms, mean fruits and vegetables that are a little too old or misshapen to resell to stores. Annie agreed. I get so much food that I play vegetable Santa for several friends and families on a regular basis. Annie gives the baskets to the workers and her favorite farmers and vendors. Annie was my first bartering partner, leading to others. Many baskets later, still not a cent has changed hands.</div>
<br />
I hope to be able to find straps upon return to Hawai'i, to continue to make baskets and barter.<br />

All this said it is important to note that bartering is not at all about reclaiming the commons. David Graeber's book <i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debt:_The_First_5000_Years" target="_blank">Debt: The First 5000 Years</a> </i>is helpful in explaining. Through copious evidence Graeber debunks the common myth that primitive bartering was the origins of monetary economies. In fact it was the other way around (see chapter 2 "The Myth of Barter").<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
After learning from Graeber about the flaws of my assumption I experimented with other ideas using the bale straps and basket making. Ideas more in sync with the politics of <a href="http://nomoola.com/" target="_blank">Eating in Public</a>'s (the other me). Subsequent posts will provide more information. </div>

I think it was September or October of 2012 that I reluctantly signed up for <a href="http://instagram.com/gaye_chan">Instagram</a> - because of Kris Ikegami's
insistence. Unexpectedly it became a consistent thread among my
sabbatical activities. At minimum it has proven to be a great way to
maintain my basic camera capture skills in framing and such. At best, I
hope, at the end of my sabbatical, to edit it down to a small portfolio
or book. If you would like to be alerted of what happens, please sign up

Long time collaborator Susan Schultz completed her second book that track her mother's battle with Alzheimer's disease. Since I did the cover of the first she invited me to create one for "She's Welcomed to her Disease" as well. We met over coffee in Makiki and she handed over a photo album of her mother's. The resulting covers are a matched set, both using snapshots as an entry into the loss of memory, self. Both books are available at <a href="http://SPDbooks.org/">SPDbooks</a>. </div>

An Eating in Public Seed-Sharing Station will be included in an exhibition entitled <a href="http://www.fluxfactory.org/projects/bionic-garden/"><i>Bionic Garden</i></a> at Flux Factory (Queens, New York) this June. The show invites viewers to "re-imagine urban spaces both private and public in an
effort to bring resourcefulness and ingenuity to urban communities".<br />
<br />
After the exhibition the station will be permanently adopted by FF as a working station. We hope that seeing how well the station works will entice others in the neighborhood to adopt one of their own. Since using fuel to send a station made of repurposed material all the way from Honolulu to Queens seems absurd, Jean Barberis, one of Flux Factory's founders and the exhibition's co-curator, will be building it with scrap wood at Flux Factory, based on plans drawn up by EIP (think <i>Draw Winky</i>).<br />

It is currently under threat by big industrial seed corporations (e.g. Monsanto). They want to patent seeds and prevent us from sharing them so we will always be forced to buy from them. Seed saving and sharing is crucial to our freedom, autonomy from capitalism and crucial for our collective survival.</span></p><p align="left"><b>And?</b><br /></p><p align="left"><span>Eating in Public continues to seek prospective organizations/entities to adopt seed-sharing-stations, particularly locations with lots of traffic and used by people of diverse populations - e.g. community centers, libraries, churches, coffee shops, senior service centers, etc. </span></p> <p align="left"><span>We will provide a seed-sharing-station without charge. They are built individually to fit the specificity of each context and entirely from scrap and/or repurposed wood. Each comes with a stapler, rubber stamp/pad, pencils, a starter kit of recycled envelops and approximately 50 seed packets. </span></p> <p align="left"><span>The station needs no monitoring and is self-explanatory. Anyone is welcome to take seeds and provides a place for planters and foragers to share seeds. Ideally, adoption is forever or at least a year. Adoptive organizations also agree to periodically ink the stamp pad, sharpen the pencils, restock the stapler and recycled envelops, and send EIP <a href="http://www.nomoola.com/seeds/seeds2.html" target="_blank">photos of the stations in action</a>.</span></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3386781503164660953.post-59454021706877289882011-12-19T17:57:00.000-08:002011-12-19T18:03:02.339-08:00MOBILITY AND STASIS in FRASS: A Provocation in Four Parts<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5watUA6bjcFeJgabhjKR4N9t_VtqRlGGt4VKppE9QTdUkU-3MxHrXPX690NTKzqSl2xlwDdNLa34DjIWbs9urgXZlhCXBJ1n_CeeVCgPGOLC0AWc2NKbgW83-W7WSQ8o6W-sjXa4OP0w/s1600/mobility-event1.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 84px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5watUA6bjcFeJgabhjKR4N9t_VtqRlGGt4VKppE9QTdUkU-3MxHrXPX690NTKzqSl2xlwDdNLa34DjIWbs9urgXZlhCXBJ1n_CeeVCgPGOLC0AWc2NKbgW83-W7WSQ8o6W-sjXa4OP0w/s400/mobility-event1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5688024749740916482" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">photograph from yesterday's event<br /><br /></span>MOBILITY AND STASIS in FRASS: A Provocation in Four Parts</span><br />A conversation on national borders and their impact on the environment, people and imaginations between Gaye Chan, artist of FRASS, an exhibition currently on view at the Honolulu Academy of Arts, and<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Maxine Burkett</span> / Director of Center for Island Climate Adaptation and Policy.

Eating in Public is up to something. We want all your old tee-shirts – Any color, size, design."<br /><br />Approximately 800 to 1,000 shirts and flat sheets were dropped off (unscientific count because no one bothered to actually count them) and transported to Arm and Roller Press on September 6. Printing began in earnest on September 15 with a team of over 20. Since a controlled system of chance operated at each and every step, each shirt is unique. Amazing textual and visual juxtapositions abound, reaffirming that autonomy and agency is nothing to be afraid of.<br /><br />See <a href="http://www.nomoola.com/apec/shirts/shirts1.html">PHOTOS</a><br /><br />Distribution started immediately.

<br />
The Academy is pleased to debut <i>Frass, </i>the latest project from photographer and conceptual artist Gaye Chan. Chan’s work ruminates on the ways in which cartography, photography, and printed matter simultaneously offer and occlude information. <i>Frass </i>originated in a rare and obscure source: an insect-damaged accordion book of 19<sup>th</sup>-century Japanese woodblock illustrations. Intrigued by the complex pattern of wormholes that meandered through the book’s pages, Chan scanned the folios, enlarged them, and superimposed onto their lattice-like surfaces Google Map photographs of approximately 20 miles of the U.S./Mexico Border. The resulting installation is comprised of 10 large-scale digital prints—each a composite of more than 300 intricate screen captures—mounted in the manner of roll-up maps, aligned horizontally, and anchored by a rotating laser that traces the border’s location from one image to the next.<br />
<i>Frass</i> suggests analogies between insect detritus and topography,<i> </i>larvae tracks and the roadways established for the transport of people and goods associated with the Mexican <i>maquiladoras </i>[export assembly plants]. In juxtaposing the vantage points of satellite and worm, authorized cargo and illicit traffic, <i>Frass</i> documents the border as it currently stands and speculates on the imbalance of power between this arbitrary boundary, the individuals who navigate it, and the body politic that transcends it. Scheduled to coincide with the 2011 Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Summit, taking place in Honolulu in November, <i>Frass </i>reflects on how economic alliances promote free trade, even as they rely on national borders to criminalize the movement of people.<br />
