tia kramer: ice woman
http://tiakramer.blogspot.com/2007/11/horizon-antarctica.html
Ross ice shelf, antarctica. Through a series of previous writings and one-on-one conversations with Korean artist Kimsooja, I explored the implications of mimicking, re-doing with attentive embodied awareness, art performances within my own experience. This project culminates that work, subtly referencing Kimsooja’s work, Needle Woman, within my skin and my experience. Rather than occurring in an urban populated area, this performance occurs on the Ross Ice Shelf in Antarctica.

tia kramer: ancillary entry
http://tiakramer.blogspot.com/2013/01/not-intent-upon-arriving.html
Rosendale, new york. Incandescent lights, house (1886), onsite construction materials. Throughout the day, walls and ceilings crumbled to the floor in dusty chemical filled heaps. At dusk, I sat silently amidst the resting chaos. Each of these crumbled walls once marked the perimeters of a space - they encompassed a room. What happens to the room when the walls disappear?

tia kramer: habituating (a descriptive text)
http://tiakramer.blogspot.com/2007/11/habituating-writing-1.html
Habituating (a descriptive text). My work cultivates somatic, intimate, and transient ways of understanding the world. I investigate how one gains an intuitive sense of the intellectually incomprehensible through repetition, attention and time. In this work, I am still exploring how to effectively subvert Western notions of productivity by offering a route to somatic or intimately gained knowledge. Exhibition in motion: objects performed.

tia kramer: weighting
http://tiakramer.blogspot.com/2007/11/weighting.html
St paul, minnesota. Is an installation consisting of over 500 glass jars suspended in space. Highly sensitive to air and circulation changes, the jars created sounds from clinks to chimes when viewers passed. The jars were collected from my friends, peers, family, and affiliates of the gallery; suspending them from the ceiling emphasized their emptiness and removed them from their utilitarian context. Glass jars, monofilament,. 10’H x 10’ W x 4’ D. Glass jars, monofilament,.

tia kramer: contextualized language
http://tiakramer.blogspot.com/2007/11/contextualized-language.html
St paul, minnesota. These are photographs document a few pieces from a series of over one thousand; each work consists of a short phrase inserted into in an intimate yet public environment that I commonly frequent. I choose lines of text based on their ability to illuminate unnoticed details in each location. I used all of her text. When compiled together, the large body of phrases construct “Chapter 2: Seeing” from Pilgrim at Tinker Creek by environmentalist author Annie Dillard.

tia kramer: unperformed events
http://tiakramer.blogspot.com/2009/12/unperformed-events.html
Chicago, illinois seattle, washington. Unperformed Events is a series of written vignettes. At present, I have created 46. Each documents an un-performed experience, an act embodied with a specific intent, for a specific duration. These events exist in the world. Printed on museum labels, they mark an experience. I attached 186 labels in public spaces throughout Chicago, Illinois and Seattle, Washington; the unperformed events exist in the experience of the viewer. Stand perfectly still on the sidewalk.
