Artists in Person New York artists Nora Ligorano and Marshall Reese have been far-ranging in their assaults on the right-wing culture war, the tyrannical nature of media, and the pall of consumerism. Videotapes, installation, sculpture, and expanded books have proved to be formidable tools for their many collaborative projects. Straight from their residency at the Djerassi Foundation, Ligorano and Reese will present videoworks and documentation covering recent installations, including their 45-foot photo/video mural at the Donnell Library in Manhattan. Examining the role of the artist in contemporary society, Acid Migration of Culture (1994) transformed the library's facade into an enormous dictionary of artistic terms. An earlier work, The Bible Belt (1992) featured a specially prepared videotape encased in a doctored Bible. In this tape a televangelist hawks consumerist virtues and a belt emblazoned with bold letters spelling "JESUS." Black Holes/Heavenly Bodies-Hell (1992, 15 mins) is a high-tech nightmare about a coming-of-age in America in which violence and mediocrity are the potent background noise. Several other works will be exhibited, along with their newest ESL-broadcast dance mix (1992, 4 mins), an image-processed look at how language insinuates distinct culturalisms.-Steve Seid
