'Moving in Place:  Conversations in location and physical geography: is an evening of off-site works-in-progress by two artist teams:

'Reflections is a sound and video installation by Maggie Nowinski and Burns Maxey. The project maps the city of Easthampton, MA, through a series of constructed conversations between selected community members created from interviews taken by the artists. The work also tracks the interviewees daily lives through photographs, and includes correspondence between the two artists via postcards. The Mobius exhibit is a preliminary showing of Reflections. A complete site-specific exhibition will be held in the Fall of 2010 in Easthampton, MA, and will also incorporate photographs, objects, and text.  The final exhibition is supported in part by a grant from the Easthampton Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency.

'Tidal,' a site-specific piece by Ellen Godena and Nathan Andary for the 2010 Bumpkin Island Art Encampment, is a series of shifting body-land sculptures that mimic the tidal movements of water over a specific area of the island during the five-day period of their residency. Godena and Andary use the length of their bodies, hands, arms and legs to transfer pebbles, stones and boulders from the shoreline area known as the ‘sand spit’ during the times in which it is progressively exposed and re-covered by the tides. Stone will replace body will replace stone, etc. Piles of rock will accumulate and dissipate (resulting in shallows) and appear as rolling ‘waves’ following the direction of their movements. On the island, they will map their movement across the spit and towards Hull, Massachusetts during the low tide (moving out and away from Bumpkin) and back towards Bumpkin Island during the incoming high tide. The piece will occur over a period of five days. 'Tidal,' presented at mobius, will be a culmination of the research we have collected via our bodies during this time.
