“Where is a good pervert supposed to go? Apparently into a gallery if Alone at Last, an interactive ode to sexual fluidity and erotic possibilities, is any indication.”
Ivers and Armstrong create site specific video installations that explore how media can disrupt when content undermines viewers expectations. By placing challenging material in a familiar context, viewers are forced to reevaluate their notions of what is “normal” and what is “television” .
Alone At Last
Alone at Last was conceived in 1981 (and completed in 2015) as a video installation that explores issues of gender and fantasy.
Designed in the pre-AIDS era when bath houses and back rooms, no-strings sex and role playing were all part of life in downtown New York, Alone at Last invited artists, musicians, and locals with an offer of self-representation, a chance to enact what desire, romance, and even manipulation meant to them.
Video Lounge
A recreation of the historic Danceteria Video Lounge is a deconstruction of the family rec room for a new era of media viewing. With a mashup of found footage, artists videos and punk music that upended the staid broadcasting of the past, it anticipates the new era of DIY video and YouTube.
