2010 EMILY HALL TREMAINE EXHIBITION AWARD Paperless The medium of paper is a fragile vehicle-carrying immense anthropological weight of written thought, but acutely vulnerable to the forces of travel, climate, and time. This endangered status accelerates in an increasingly digitized and environmentally conscious society, where the "paperless economy" is turning said material into antiquity and the abject. Yet even as paper struggles against its extinction, moving into and out of the archives at once, artists around the world are venerating its precarious empire. Paperless celebrates these refugees from of the information age, presenting theatrical elegies to the pariah of so-called "progress". Man in the Holocene João Ribas MIT List Visual Art Center | Cambridge, MA $150,000 This exhibit will explore how contemporary art acts as a form of inquiry into the nature of our physical world. Reflecting a developing turn towards objects and away from language, the exhibition will propose how contemporary art contributes to the ongoing development of human knowledge through the insights of the eye and hand. From Joseph Beuy's lemon-powered ligtbulb, the effects of magnetism in the fims of Joao Maria Gusmao & Pedro Paiva, and the subtle change of temperature, sound and scent in the work of Koo Jeong-A, the exhibition will show what contemporary artists reveal about our understanding of the world. Green Acres: Artists Farming Fields, Greenhouses and Abandoned Lots Sue Spaid Contemporary Arts Center | Cincinnati, OH $150,000 In the past 40 years, artists have played a significant role in creating a greater awareness of the importance of local, fresh produce. To this end, artists have adopted farming skills so as to facilitate community actions, inspire local identities, foster self-reliance, improve food quality, and demonstrate sustainable farming practices. These acts, whether of resistance, empowerment and/or genuine pleasure on the part of artists and participants alike offer viable alternatives to standard corporate farms upon which we depend. "Green Acres" combines an indoor exhibition of historically-significant extant works, including the refabrication of Newton and Helen Harrison's Survival Series (1970 - 1973), with six in situ outdoor sculptures on view during the 2012 growing season, by international artists whose works address farming.
