PENELOPE is pleased to present our project for Artist-Run at The Satellite Show Miami Beach!
Skeleton On A Toilet
“If there is an underlying oneness of all things, it does not matter where we begin, whether with stars, or laws of supply and demand, or frogs, or Napoleon Bonaparte. One measures a circle, beginning anywhere.”
––Charles Fort, Lo!, 1931.
The works to be included in this installation elicit questions about the behavior of physical forms as they come into contact with a metaphysical experience. Applying circular logic and opening absurd lines of inquiry, the works included in this proposal monitor themselves and their relation to one another by revolving roles as critics and defenders in a shared existence. When a form is present, but not physically in existence, invisibility becomes the subject’s form. When sight ricochets or looks upon itself, there is a moment in its deflection that re-animates the subject’s form. Alluding to their haunting capabilities, these works are alive in their presence through placement and deflection. Definitions fade and some things are not necessary, but add meaning, like a skeleton on a toilet.
Featuring works and collaborative installation by:
Maria Britton
April Childers

"In the final moments of Brakhage’s film Creation (1979), rays of prismatic color flash into the image from the top of the frame. It is sunlight falling through the high branches of a forest, striking the edge of the camera’s lens and dispersing into a spectrum. That crystalline spray of light is Brakhage’s homage to the source of creation in nature and cinema. Kenneth Anger honors the same source in the form of Lucifer, the angel whose name means "light-bringer." "Lucifer is the angel of light, a sunbeam," Anger has said. In Anger’s personal hagiology Lucifer is also "the patron saint of movies, the light behind the lens."[1]
“I’m an artist working in Light, and that’s my whole interest, really.” Any number of avant-garde filmmakers might have said that, but only Kenneth Anger would add, ‘Lucifer is the Light God, not the devil, that’s a Christian slander. The devil is always other people’s gods. Lucifer has appeared in other of my films; I haven’t labelled him as such but there’s usually a figure or a moment in those films which is my ‘Lucifer’ moment. Coming shortly after the release of Invocation of My Demon Brother (1969), those comments mark a significant change in Anger’s way of “working in Light”: from an implicit expression of light’s visionary powers to an explicit illustration of a mythology of light, in which Lucifer is the reigning deity.
"Light moving in time" William C. Wees
