Mary Lucier: Floodsongs

March 13-June 20, 1999

Garden Hall Video Gallery, third floor

Floodsongss a video and audio installationpresent-ing portraitsof residents of GrandForks,North

Dakota.Theyareflankedat one end by a continu-ous projectionof the exteriorsand interiors of their

flood-ravagedhomes, and at the otherend bya

hanging clusterof domestic artifactssalvagedfromthe flood. In the springof I997, the people of the

vastgeographicalregion fromFargo to Winnipeg,

Canada,experienceda greatswelling of the Red

Riverof the North. The resultingfloods sweptthroughthe town of GrandForks,while fire con-

sumed elevenbuildings in its downtownarea. Thepeople of the areawereaccustomed to hard weather

and high wateron the Plains, but the dikes they had

builtcould not contain this flood. As it rose, it cont-

aminated the drinkingwaterand all that it touched,driving the residentspermanently romtheir homes

and theirbelongings. In Floodsongs,eople speak

candidlyof theirlives-before and after the flood-

and reflecton the diversityand resilience of human

experience.The simultaneoustelling of theirsto-

ries, accentuatedbyelectronicprocessing, creates a

contemporary orm of oratorio.

Mary Lucier:Floodsongs was organized by BarbaraLondon,

Associate Curator,and Sally Berger,Assistant Curator,

This exhibition features the world premiereof

overcome the divisivenessof apartheid.Kentridge

has developeda strikinglypersonal animation

In photographsfeaturingher friends and family

members as models, Cameroncreatedportraits

imbuedwith a rarepsychologicalintensityand mys-

tical aura.Despite photography'srelativeyouthin

the i86os and I870s, Cameron's sophisticated use
