As part of the ongoing “Listen In” series of artist presentations, Harvestworks is pleased to present two recent Harvestworks Artists-In-Residence: Shana Moulton and Jessica Ann Peavy. A video and performance artist and 2008 Artist-In-Residence, Shana Moulton will premiere a new live interactive video work which forms the latest installment of her acclaimed Whispering Pines series. First exhibited at Bellwether Gallery, the work chronicles the artist’s comical quest for relief from pain and negative thoughts. Whispering Pines has subsequently traveled to Sweden and the UK. Also a 2008 Artist-In-Residence, Jessica Ann Peavy will present a new three-channel video work as part of her Fatback series titled Rituals of Consumption: Leviticus rowed the boat ashore. The work investigates the fantasies, desires, and rituals of consumption (food, faith, space, and sexuality) and was recently exhibited at Smack Mellon Gallery. Jessica Ann Peavy was born in Columbus, Ohio and currently lives and works in New York City. She received her BFA from the Tisch School of the Arts, New York University and completed a MFA in Photography, Video and Related Media at the School of Visual Arts. She has exhibited at noted venues such as The DUMBO Arts Festival and Rush Arts Gallery. Her films have been featured in festivals in New York, Los Angeles and London. Peavy's work comments on the social and psychological states of young African-American Women. Shana Moulton is a video and performance artist whose work examines bodily and spiritual anxieties and their relationship to popular culture, self-help goods and functionless consumer objects. Moulton studied at the University of California, Berkeley and Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, where she received her MFA. Moulton has also recently attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in Skowhegan, Maine, and studied at De Ateliers in Amsterdam. Her video work has been screened and exhibited internationally, including at The Armory Show Art Fair, New York; Loop '05 Video Festival, Barcelona; Rencontres internationales Paris/Berlin, Paris; Dark Light Festival, Dublin; Impakt Festival, Utrecht. Moulton currently lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.
