T H O M A S  U S H E RFor the 6th edition of OVER THE WIRE – which pairs internationally acclaimed artists with the students at the Yukon School of Visual Arts to create an exhibition through correspondence – Deborah Stratman and SIMPARCH’s Steven Badgett directed the students to intervene with the everyday under the premise that “architecture is frozen habit”.  With a project called Habitual Suspects students started off with the writings of George Perec and consciousness philoso-pher Alva Noë, then proceeded to decode a secret message sent by the artists in Chicago via morse code.   In turn, the students created solo and collaborative works that interrupted their crystalised personal behaviours, cultural assumptions and established architecture.  Using the SOVA gallery as a node, the exhibition includes records of performances in the domestic sphere, modifications to transportation, prosthetics on the verge of the ridiculous, hacks to the architecture of the school and interventions surrounding the building. -Charles StankievechSOVA InstructorDeborah Stratman is an artist and filmmaker interested in landscapes and systems. Her films, rather than telling stories, pose a series of problems – and through their at times ambiguous nature, allow for a complicated reading of the questions being asked. Many of her films point to the relationships between physical environments and the very human struggles for power, own-ership, mastery and control that are played out on the land. Most recently, they have questioned elemental historical narratives about freedom, expansion, security, and the regulation of space. Stratman works in multiple mediums, including photography, sound, drawing and sculpture. She has exhibited internationally at venues including the Whitney Biennial, MoMA, the Pompi-dou, Hammer Museum and many international film festivals including Sundance, the Viennale, Ann Arbor and Rotterdam. She is the recipient of Fulbright and Guggenheim fellowships and she currently teaches at the University of Illinois at Chicago.http://www.pythagorasfilm.com/Steven Badgett is part of SIMPARCH – a collaborative practice involving large-scale, usually interactive installations and events that examine loaded geography, building practices, site-specificity and materials that may be salvaged, recycled or generally brought together with a kind of DIY attitude. Often collaborating with other organizations, like the Centre for Land Use Interpretation, and individual artists, builders, scientists, academics, filmmakers, and mu-sicians, SIMPARCH works at exposing a site’s history and use through social interaction and experimentation with vernacular design and materials. SIMPARCH has shown  at Documenta XI, Venice Biennale for Architecture, Whitney Biennial, Tate Modern, Renaissance Society and Deitch Projects, NYC.http://www.simparch.org/OVER THE WIRE Series : : http://media.yukonsova.ca/over-the-wireABC DEFGHIJA.
