QUIET EARTH By Lansing Dreiden
LFL Gallery is pleased to present Lansing-Dreiden's first creative effort since the mid -twentieth century, "Quiet Earth." A closely-knit collaborative of like-minded people and computers, Lansing-Dreiden seeks to adopt and re-assemble the sparse ideological fragments left by South American cultural producers Friedrich Lansing and Caspar Dreiden in the 1950s. Quiet Earth, an exhibition consisting of a series of drawings in addition to a 7-minute, fully animated music video, marks Lansing-Dreiden's passage into the new millennium. Central to Quiet Earth is a story of two young women in a search for answers. As they traverse a remote, snow-covered landscape on pure intuition, they encounter direction in the form of suspicious machinery and animals, happening subsequently upon a strange trapezoidal building. With little effort, the two manage to penetrate the complex, not anticipating the realizations that ensue as a result. In the exhibition Quiet Earth, the series of drawings shown alongside the video serve to unpack this narrative from a variety of different vantage points, while the video remains in the third person. There is no hierarchy linking the two formats within the context of the exhibition, no sequence prescribed for the drawings on display, and no specific order of operations with regards to their execution. This is because both Quiet Earth's central narrative and means of representation function as a continuous loop. Similarly, Lansing-Dreiden's Quiet Earth aims to create an incremental economic feedback loop, generating further motivation for Lansing-Dreiden, LFL Gallery, patrons and viewers in general. Lansing-Dreiden is itself a re-incarnation of a set of particular concepts and ideals. Our motivation stems initially from the regeneration of these ideas, and will Continue to ramify and fertilize in parallel. October 18th to November 17th 2001
