Presented by internationally renowned artist Lita Albuquerque, Prime Meridian: Zero Degrees explored the relationship between humanity and the movement of the cosmos. Albuquerque projected two videos on the walls of stellar rotation from the north and south poles and a projection on the ground of a body’s shadow running. In this projected world, Albuquerque suspended our ordinary reality. The normal ebb and flow of life ceased, in order to better understand our common bonds of time, stillness and motion.
With sound composed by Susan Deyhim, Prime Meridian: Zero Degrees was performed by Jasmine Albuquerque Croissant, Marc Breslin and Clarissa Ribiero.
Lita Albuquerque is an installation/environmental artist, painter and sculptor. She has developed a visual language that brings the realities of time and space to a human scale and is acclaimed for her ephemeral and permanent art works executed in the landscape and public sites.
By approaching living material with the tools of artistic research, Ted Meyer worked to create poetic, yet absurd interactions between the individual and the environment, focusing on how creative impulse marks and alters the living world.

Joyce Cutler-Shaw is an artist of intermedia, although drawing is at the heart of her work. She considers drawing to be a primary language, a way of knowing, a mode of inquiry, and an act of empathy. She has exhibited internationally since 1972. Joyce Cutler-Shaw’s works—public installations, drawings and artists books—are represented in both Museum and Library Special Collections including the Albertina Museum in Vienna, New York’s Museum of Modern Art, The 42nd Street Library, the Klinspor Museum in Germany, the Teylers Museum in The Netherlands, and the Herbert Johnson Museum at Cornell.
The UCLA Art|Sci center hosts Leonardo Art Science Rendezvoud (LASER) on November 7th, a periodical discussion forum on art science projects for artists and scientists alike. This coming month LASER will include a special sound performance by GIL KUNO and CARL Stone and is preceded by an exhibiton opening in the adjacent ART|SCI Gallery by JOSELY CARVALHO, exhibiting her work in progress DIARY of SMELLS: Shards. The artists will introduce the inspiration behind their work along with...
Barabara Drucker, Chris Kelty, Shana Koening, Ted Meyer, and Gareth Walsh.

The olfactory sense, though often forgotten, is a powerful connector to memory and emotions. Diary of Smells: Shards (Estilhaços) is an on-going multi-sensorial interactive & interdisciplinary project comprised of various stages of smell production, photographs and sound design.
Josely Caravalho, a Brazilian multi-media artist lives in New York and Rio de Janeiro. Over the past three decades, she has assembled a body of work in a wide range of media that gives eloquent voice to matters of memory, identity and social justice while consistently challenging the boundaries between artist and audience and between politics and art. She received her BA from Washington University, St. Louis and has taught at the School of Architecture, National University of Mexico and SUNY at Purchase. She is founder and director of The Silkscreen Project, St. Mark’s Church in-the-Bowery in New York City.
