Jeremiah Jenkins and Amber Hasselbring Deer, by Jeremiah Jenkins
LiVE WORK is pleased to announce its next show with artists Jeremiah Jenkins and Amber Hasselbring. Oakland based artist Jeremiah Jenkins is best known for his knack for juxtaposing seemingly impossible materials and ideas and producing new meaning often with biting humor and efficiency. For the show at LiVE WORK, he will be doing a performance entitled "The Psychology of Shooting." Jeremiah will be shooting a series of targets while undergoing therapy, marking the trajectory of his mind and emotions with his marksmanship. It promises to be an afternoon of fascinating exploration of the relationship between markmaking, marksmanship and the artist’s mental state. San Francisco based artist Amber Hasselbring’s project will be the first in a series heralded "The Beesniks." Others to follow will be announced as the thoughts and collaborations develop. These projects will try to address the complexity of socio-ecological issues and will develop over time at LiVE WORK. Amber’s project begins with a performance on October 23rd, the day of the full moon, when she will create habitat for wild bees in LiVE WORK‘s outdoor courtyard. In the coming year, she will be doing episodic presentations in coordination with the phases of the moon to investigate how lunar cycles affect living organisms. Amber’s performance will take place from sunrise to sunset on Saturday, October 23, during which time she will be interacting with visitors. Jeremiah’s performance starts at 3:45pm on the same day. Both events are free to the public. LiVE WORK project space promotes experimental works in the areas of performance, live events, theatrical works, situational interventions, and other time-based works. It is particularly interested in works that do not yet have a clean category and challenge the established practices. It creates an environment that fosters creativity by emphasizing the process. It also provides mini-residencies (with a kitchen and a bedroom) to support special works that require the artist to be on site for a period of time.
