June brings Sarah Goetz to the Weir Farm Artist-in-Residence program. At Weir Farm, Sarah will edit the video for a multi-channel video installation 'words taken right out of your mouth/words put in your mouth,' taking inspiration from the eerily similar phrasings of the two idioms. Shooting with a small camera in her mouth, Goetz has been collecting video of the awkward intimacy of literally putting text-objects (made of ice) in the mouth of another, and of taking text-objects (made of salt, chocolate, etc.) out of the mouth of another. She will focus on how these mouth-text exchanges create oral/written-word conversations when facing each other in multichannel video, including the acts of listening, interruptions, awkward pauses, and external interruptions. Co-sponsored by Weir Farm Art Center and Weir Farm National Historic Site and presented by Wilton Library. No charge. Registration suggested.
