Jan & Dave’s performance Mosquito Surfer is a post-apocolyptic look at the future, a satiric view of a world where there are Human/Mosquito’s that come to Miami Beach for their Intergalactic Annual Surf Competition. Through the use of an audio sound track and live dialog a mixed cacophony occurs of ideas and lyrics. This world is transformed into a warped rock song which furthers the narrative idea a filmic manner.
Janese Weingarten and Dave Kudzma are multimedia artists based in Miami, FL.

Part one —JUMBLE— features 12 video works by Sara Condo, Zachary Epcar, Mark Kent, Mark McCloughan, Lydia Moyer, Amina Ross, Sheida Soleimani, Darryl Terrell, Lili White and Danielle Zorbas, reformatted for an 18’x12’x12’ LCD prism: A dazzling, buzzing, and spectacular program that spins, skins, and surveys themes of human/animal/environmental cohabitation. We’ve worked with the artists to re-format their pieces for the unusual aspect ratio and gargantuan scale and will stream both the original works and the reformatted versions on ACRE TV throughout November and December, during the day.

Part two —TRON— is four collections of video works reformatted for 8’x8’ projections: Full of human bodies and breath, this part moves slower, dances in the ways and waves, finding limits in human scale. Carl Elsaesser and Sandy Williams IV are each showing durational series that add up to more than a day and a half of video, exploring time and persistence. Danny Giles and Richard Haley have imaged the human body, or something like it, standing tall against external forces of nature and surveillance. These works will play on ACRE TV throughout November and December during nighttime hours.
Additionally, join us on November 8th from 8:30-9:30 pm (CST) for JumbleTron LIVEfrom the CUBED: Luminous stage, featuring new work by Jen Clay and Jan and Dave.

Using a variety of media including video, installation,and performance, Jen Clay constructs narratives that investigate fear and anxiety through recreations of common horror entertainment tropes. Her work is inspired by the playful aesthetic of educational children’s TV shows which can be seen in her use of stop motion animation, overly embellished costumes and puppets that speak directly to the audience. Her work references supernatural and fantastic phenomena juxtaposed with mundane urban and natural surroundings to represent disfunction such as trauma and abuse in familiar places, people and things.
Let’s Be Friends is a performance where The Void, an untrustworthy character that is the manifestation of being afraid of the dark, speaks directly to the audience so that they may become “friends”.
Rehearsals of what I presume will be my favorite post-breath positions and variables

This live broadcast will take the form of lecture discussing various possibilities of using my future corpse to create sculpture. This will be an attempt to locate the state between being and becoming a thing. Weight, mass, heat, and warm fluids will be tracked from their origins as building blocks of personhood and mapped to their dissension/ascension into purely spatial attributes disavowed from the body.
