Artist Statement
Engaging multiple mediums and forms, I create research-based projects that integrate individual voices and sensibilities within larger social and political concerns. Employing photography, installation, sculpture, video, and printed matter, my work is generated from a desire to connect – whether with collaborators, sources of inspiration, material, or those who experience the work. Many of my recent projects include participation, information or articles from others. Often working with historical documents and images, I utilize format and media to signify and address the time in which the work is generated. Recontextualizing these materials, I playfully complicate the ways in which representations and narratives are produced.
My most recent work is an extended project using the 20th century author and actress Joan Lowell (1902-1967) as inspiration and subject. Lowell was best known for her 1929 best-selling autobiography, “The Cradle of the Deep,” which chronicled her experience growing up on a ship with an all-male crew. The book proved to be an instant success. However, author Lincoln Colcord, in reviewing her book, exposed it to contain numerous fabrications and a major media scandal was born. Contrary to her story of being 17 years at sea, Lowell actually grew up on land with her mother and siblings in Berkeley, California. The Lowell-based work includes photography, sculpture, performance, video and scent. My father, Parker Bishop Albee Jr., is a historian and a specialist on Lincoln Colcord and we have recently collaborated on performances for this project.
The samples submitted include a photograph of my father’s sun-damaged first edition copy of “The Cradle of the Deep,” an enlarged jpeg of Lowell in Brazil in 1966, sourced from Wikipedia, and a photograph taken via Skype of my father holding Lincoln Colcord’s novel, “The Drifting Diamond.” This installation view also shows the gold-plated pendant that I created based on the anchor-shaped JL monogram stamped on the cover of Lowell’s autobiography. I have also included two installation views of a scent piece. For this piece I infused bay rum oil in bread, recreating the scent of what Lowell describes in her autobiography as the closest thing she knew to the smell of a woman. My recent performance with my father highlights Lincoln Colcord’s personal scrapbook that my father possesses. Colcord’s scrapbook contains his research on Lowell pre-scandal as well as documentation, clippings and correspondences he collected after she was exposed. The performances include a projected conversation with my father via Skype where he shows Colcord’s scrapbook page by page and explains the story of Lowell and Colcord.
Additional work samples include stills from the video, “Arrival/Departure, Marine One at JRB,” which surveils President Barack Obama’s arrival to and departure from New York City via the Wall Street Heliport. Shot from my studio window in Lower Manhattan, a highly choreographed process emerges as staff and press cycle through periods of preparation and waiting.
“Newspaper and Flowers” is an ongoing print series initiated in 2006. For this series I replace journalistic photographs (from articles about current US wars) in The New York Times with flower photographs taken by my grandfather, Ellis Albert Resch (1903-1974), in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The documentation includes examples from the print series as well as a double-sided newsprint edition created for North Drive Press.
The final work sample is from a collaborative project entitled, “In Case of…, New York City.” In 2009 artist and musician Kathleen Hanna and I made this installation presenting groupings of objects in, on top of, and underneath two vitrines inspired by responses received from an inquiry asking women living in New York City, “What do you carry that gives you a sense of security?”
