Chance
Jane Jerardi (Wash, DC)
Chance, the latest project by Jane Jerardi—a set of video-dance shorts—premiered in Washington, DC in September 2007, projected on facades and urban architecture throughout the metro area. Contemplating the luck of being in the ‘right place at the right time’ Chance focuses on the everyday coincidences that go mostly unnoticed, but create beautiful relationships between people.
For this screening, Chance will be shown inside rather then outdoors.
I Am Almost Positive
Ginger Wagg (Wash, DC)
I Am Almost Positive, an interactive mini-installation created by Ginger Wagg, will feature a series of images that shift from photograph to postcard to dress to carpet to a souvenir. Drawing from a collection of personal and second-hand mementos, I Am Almost Positive helps piece together a substitute sense of home, loss, and legacy. Witnesses are encouraged to accompany Wagg and help redistribute these leftover items into new configurations and new sites.

As an emerging research organization in alternative uses of spare rooms, Oxford Occasional intends to add to the dialogue regarding the relationship which exists between art-makers and art-consumers in order to elucidate the cozy and blithesome use-value of one’s home. Please join us.
