Different From The One Place Time Mood Mindset You Are In Now

(2020-2031)

For Alvin Lucier.

Based on the phrase that follows Lucier’s “I am sitting in a room” (Different From The You Are In Now), this series accompanies the 12-year project, You And I Are Water Earth Fire Air Of Life And Death, as a sort of undertow.

It undermines the first series by presenting almost nothings, idle moments, minimal gestures, barely perceptibles.

Each year an hour from the 12-hour event, You And I Are Water Earth Fire Air Of Life And Death, held every December 12th is taken away from the main project.

The first year no hour was taken away, consequently on the 12th year only 1 hour of programming is left.

For 12 years, 12 interventions by 12 different artists (more or less).

2020 -part 1 – Different:
The first edition of Different Now did not take place, had no time, no mood nor mindset. It did not interrupt in any way the inaugural 12-hour event on December 12, 2020: You-.

2021 – part 2 – From:
The second edition took up an hour in the middle of the 12-hour online event on December 12, 2021: -And-. 12 artists were invited to provide a 12 minute audiovisual recording of an unlit room in their home different from the one they were in then. Unoccupied and obscured. Room tones, thin walls. Faint glimmers, light leaks. Located nothings. The present of non-presence. The presence of the not-present. The recordings were arranged in a grid and the playback sequence was determined by the order in which the recording were received.

2022 – part 3 – The:
The third edition took up the last 10 minutes of every hour of the 12-hour event on December 12, 2022: -I. 12 artists were invited to provide a 12 minute audiovisual recording of their studio space. Room you are not presently in. Room where you make, but that is currently running on idle. Idling in unintentional sounds. Lit but faded in and out after the fact. Camera captures room or detail, only one position throughout. Presence might be felt but is not present. You were there and you will be there again, but you are not there now.

2023 – part 4 – One:
The fourth edition took up a total of three hours out of the 12-hour event on December 12, 202: Are (Sommes Sonnes). 12 artists were invited to present a 12 minute audiovisual sort-of-self-portrait. The focus is on portraiture that eschews the frontal in favour of the partial—the barely there, the fleeting, the merely-passing-by, the a-bit-askew.

Featuring:
1. Tanya Mars

5. Nadège Grebmeier Forget

2024 – part 5 – Place:
The fifth edition took up a total of four hours out of the 12-hour event on December 12, 2024: Water (Deshkan Ziibi). 12 artists were invited to present a body of water in the form of a 12-minutes long audiovisual recording. Each recording was then stretched to 20 minutes and presented at the end of every hour of the 12-hour event. These were the starting premises, in the end there were more than 12 artists and most of the 12 pieces presented as part of this series did not necessarily follow these parameters. But they all had the spirit of a pause, a rest, a moment of respite.
