Weather Reports : A new exhibit at AHN/VHS focuses on meteorological data.


By Roberta Fallon 

Aug. 18, 2009

Cloud control: Luke Strosnider’s digital photography collage depicts the sky at various dates and times.

If there’s angst or hysteria about global warming, it’s hidden in the group show “Weather Reports.” Instead of melting ice caps and imperiled polar bears, AHN/VHS’ quiet, small works show—which features drawings, prints, video and mixed media—focuses on the daily weather data recorded at Long Island City’s artist-run SP Weather Station. 


The SP Weather Station project was started by Natalie Campbell and Heidi Neilson in 2007 as a way for artists to study the weather and create art that reflects or chronicles it.


Some of the works stick a little too close to the data and actually look like charts you’d see in a science book. But several of the works are quite surprising with their visual or conceptual punch. 


January 2009 by Mike Estabrook and Vandana Jain shows President Obama’s head as a burning yellow sun collaged on a grim black and white urban scene. Michael Geminder’s simple word piece CLEAR WARM AND STILL is lyrical with the words cut from a small piece of cardboard. It’s effective in conjuring up the conditions of a quiet summer night. 


Mark Nystrom’s seven digital prints from June 21-27, 2009 transcend data through digital manipulation. Nystrom uses software programs in prints that are reminiscent of work by Francis Bacon—half clear and crisp, half rubbed out in what look like angry attempts to mask reality. Beautiful and frenzied, the prints capture the mystery of weather’s unpredictability.


“SP Weather Station: Weather Reports.” Through Aug. 30. AHN/VNS, 319A N. 11th St., fourth fl. ahnvhs.com. 


Perhaps the most directly observational piece in the show is the photo documentation, April 2009 by Luke Strosnider. The digital photography collage shows long thin slices of sky seen at various dates and times. This manipulated documentation hearkens back to the time when the only tool for predicting the weather was the eyes. Here, the camera’s eye has captured what the physical eye saw and saved it for posterity.


Also featured are a selection of toy-like planetarium lamps collected by SP Weather Station co-founder Heidi Neilson. The light from the lamps projects stars onto the walls of a curio cabinet outside the gallery. The cabinet was recently created by AHN/VHS owners Julianne Ahn and Lauren van Haaften-Schick. The New York transplants focus on works on paper—drawings, prints and publications which they exhibit and sell online and through their flat file in the back studio. Ahn and Haaften-Schick are accepting proposals for an installation of Lilliputian dimensions for the tiny exhibition space. ■

"Trees I Have Known is a juried exhibition featuring artwork and ephemera made by and collected by a diverse group of over thirty artists, thinkers, and neighbors who have created work that reflects upon the tree as subject, metaphor, and inspiration in many media." I showed a 5-image suite of photographs documenting an installation called Human Hugger. I couldn't make it to Kansas to see the show but it looked great from the images I saw online.

"The United Nation’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has said emissions of greenhouse gases–released when fossil fuels are burned–must peak and begin to decline within ten years if the planet is to avoid the worst effects of global climate change. The American public finally seems to be waking up to this global threat, as evidenced by the popularity of recent films such as An Inconvenient Truth and Wall-E.

This exhibit–our 30th–is designed to to raise awareness of this critical issue. From apocalyptic images of a drowned planet to the promise of future energy sources, these 17 artists address this pressing issue with passion, humor and urgency."

"Queens International 4 (QI4), the fourth installment of this biennial, is a survey of new and on-going projects by 42 emerging and established artists, artist collaborations and artist collectives from 18 countries that now live and/or work within Queens. QI4 reflects the multiple influences, thematic breadth and broad range of traditional and experimental approaches employed by the vibrant and growing artist communities in Queens. By developing their own artistic perspective from a position on the art world periphery rather than at its center of influence, the QI4 artists explore the contradictions of the mainstream art world and the real world."

"Ephemerality is an experimental gallery exhibition that explores ways in which art, communication, and technology can be used to create a greater sense of connection and meaning within reclaimed wild spaces, natural time, weather, and seasons. In this exhibition, artists will present works that directly reflect the impact that 24 hours on the land of the Schuylkill Center can have on their own awareness, creative process, and use of visual material.

Six artists and one artist team were selected to create temporary artworks with natural materials on the grounds of the Schuylkill Center, with the guidelines that the artworks created must last no more than 24 hours. The installations, sculptures, interventions, or events created were documented by the artists using photography, video, sound, and text. These documentations of the outdoor ephemeral artwork will comprise the gallery exhibition."

"This group of short-form video presents 60-seconds snapshots of who we are as global citizens in 2008: gorgeous,ecstatic, grotesque, scared, hopeful, confused, and desperately concerned about the state of things. We see this compilation as various states of being in direct opposition to George Bush's most recent State of the Union Address from January 28, 2008 – an overtly optimistic and simplistic overview of here and now. To compare the two, text of George Bush's address has been used as a jumping off point for organizing the videos and providing an alternative platform for open and realistic dialogue, an alternative to the "official party line."
