Leah Gilliam: Agenda for a Landscape

July 11, 2002, 6-8PM

NYC
In Leah Gilliam's Agenda for a Landscape, the gallery becomes an abandoned
NASA command center showcasing computer manipulated footage of Mars,
obtained by the Sojourner Rover (Remotely Operated Vehicular Robot) in
NASA's 1997 Mars Pathfinder mission, combined with Gilliam's own video work
and other found imagery. By creating an entirely new Martian landscape,
Gilliam raises questions about telerobotic technology and the authenticity
of information that is disseminated over time and space. Organized by Mark
Tribe, Rhizome.org, in collaboration with Anne Ellegood, Associate Curator,
New Museum of Contemporary Art.

Guest curator Mark Tribe of Rhizome.org talks with Leah Gilliam about her
work, Agenda for a Landscape, in which she recreates the widely publicized
1997 NASA Mars Pathfinder mission, developing a site that draws inspiration

her own unique interpretation of that history.

I wish I could go see stuff like this. In part I accept not being able to,
yet still entitled to have a strong or weak reaction. Is that the
list-troll, or does it go hand in glove with digital protest? I couldn't
say.
Regardless, best of luck. I'd love to work on a show for the nm if my works
are suitable. Also, what is your overall opinion of Joseph McElroy? Just
curious; he did a survey for me.
Cheers,
Max Herman
