“-charles gaines the first large-scale public work of charles gaines' illustrious career, creative time debuted the american manifest in new york city in 2022. The american manifest is made up of three new works, manifesto's 4: the dred and harriet scott decision, roots, and moving chains. Featuring a woodwind quintet, piano, and tenor, manifestos 4: the dred and harriet scott decision is a performance-based installation in which charles gaines transforms the original text of the landmark 1857 u.s. Supreme court case of dred scott vs. Sanford, which denied citizenship to people of african ancestry. Roots is a series of seven sculptural forms, which take the shape of the root systems of american sweetgum trees. Moving chains, the centerpiece of the installation, is a large-scale, immersive installation, sited on governors island, that speaks to the history of commerce on waterways, and how the slave trade formed the american economy. The monumental, 110-foot long kinetic sculpture evokes the hull of a ship, reverberating with the low rumble of nine chains slowly rotating overhead. Eight of the chains represent the pace of the currents along the hudson river, while a ninth central chain moves more quickly, mimicking the pace of a ship in transit. -taryn simon creative time is commissioning a project with artist taryn simon, to be presented in new york city in 2024. Known for producing heavily researched bodies of work that unearth hidden narratives, simon engaged in a deep investigation of a lost history of new york city's "pinball prohibition era" for her project with creative time. In 2022, creative time conducted an extensive search to locate the discarded pinball machines. Upon locating the machines, and discovering they have become a part of the underwater ecosystem, simon began considering the symmetry between the mystery of the ocean floor and the cosmos. Simon will bring a mechanized game to times square that will operate based upon the 'pinballs bouncing around a giant pinball machine in the sky'. The game will culminate in a crescendo of an enormous splash that plays upon laguardia's baptismal act of destruction and cleansing. This project ties together narratives of immigrants and marginalized groups throughout new york city's history, placing these issues in the middle of times square, the most visible public space in the united states. -jill magid from april 29th to may 8th 2022, creative time presented jill magid's tender presence. Tender presence, a continuation of jill magid's 2020 creative time public art project, tender, where she distributed 120,000 modified u.s. Pennies into the economy through bodegas and local businesses, immersed viewers in a live film and sound installation sited within the decommissioned williamsburg dime savings bank. Reflecting the dissonance between our economic and collective wellbeing, guests to tender presence were greeted by a fragrant display of bodega-inspired flowers before entering the crumbling bank space. The tender presence film was accompanied by a live score of eight musicians and ambient sounds to create an embodied experience of droning reverberations. The film navigated a new york city marked with the signs of the pandemic, as masked individuals engage with the essential business and services that kept the city afloat. Tender presence, through both the film and the physical installation, offered new yorkers a space for communal reflection and an opportunity to meditate on loss, resilience, and possibility. -maria magdalena campos pons when we gather is a short film that pays homage to heroines of the past, visionaries of the present, and change agents of the future.
