ANOTHER LAST YEAR! is a unique look at how artists working in various disciplines address the cyclical nature of cultural progression, as well as the inseparability of anxiety and the passage of time. Offering a glimpse into the minds of 12 artists, Ad Nauseam Lyceum presents a group exhibition investigating the relationship between time, progress, and process. The exhibition will include painting, photography, media and sculpture by Amy Beecher, Brent Birnbaum, Matt Broach, Janna Coker, Cathleen Cueto, Danielle Durchslag, Scott Goodman, Sayaka Nagata, Anna Ogier-Bloomer, Carolyn Salas, Jake Scharbach, and Eli Stertz. Capturing the nostalgia of both the distant and recent past, each piece offers a glimpse into how these individual artists experience the passing of time with the coming of each new year. ANOTHER LAST YEAR! is both an examination and literal manifestation of an artistic process.

 

As part of their Friday Performance Series, Ad Nauseam would like to cordially invite you to 169 this Friday 1/18 to tap yer toes to the ill tunes of Jesse Lynn (www.myspace.com/jesselynnmusic), fierce songstress extraordinaire! Hilarity will ensue the following Friday (1/25) with post-meta-neo-dada performances by David McGee ( Thanksgiving! A! Pageant! playwright), Laura "Moss" O'Brien and Mark Lindberg.

 

Ad Nauseam Lyceum  is an artist run organization committed to showcasing multi-disciplinary work by emerging artists in New York. The group aims to give young artists an opportunity to collaborate, present work, and have a creative dialogue outside the traditional art market.  Founded in 2006 by Ryan Frank, Deena Selenow, and Rory Sheridan , the group has hosted previous events at Ephemeroptera Art Space, chashama and 717 Studio, and has collectively shown the work of over 50 visual and performing artists.  Dedicated to blurring the lines between various artistic genres, Ad Nauseam Lyceum is a platform for a new generation of artists working in performance, visual art, and new media.

     "Cycle" is a rumination on the twin influences of fashion and advertisement. This piece centers around a woman?s life, depicted through the ?dress codes? she adopts during each stage of her life ? from a childish, playful, exited, youthful, emancipated, cool, sexy, and driven to a mature, overextended and aged mindset.

     Individual pieces are bridged by slide projections illustrating the power of advertisement to further manipulate the _expression_ of the self through the creation of needs and illusions, addiction and detachment. The 21st century female self is presented as an abstract concept heavily dictated by external influences.
