Fusebox: Emily Lacy Women & Their Work is proud to co-present a new performance by Emily Lacy: 99 Times for two nights only at the Long Center in Austin, Wednesday, April 25th & Thursday, April 26th at 8pm. Tickets are $15 and available online at The Fusebox Festival. The full Fusebox Festival 2012 line up is here. Wednesday at the Long Center is the Kickoff with free music and performances on the Terrace starting at 6pm. Blending folk and electronic influences, sound artist and musician Emily Lacy will host a performance drawing on the energies of global protest movements occurring within the last year. Mixing the aesthetics of prepared song with improvised vocal works, she produces an unexpected set of effects and feelings in the viewer. Concerned with the pattern of broad factors that can come together to make meaning for a listener, she orchestrates mysterious costuming, altered instruments, and painted amplifiers to create an environment and a mythology for sounds, which in the end are always invisible.

Living/Working Space Join us for “Living/Working Space” a conversation about the changing contexts of the artist & their studios. In conjunction with Christie Blizard's "When I was 16, I saw the White Buffalo," we welcome these guest artists: Judy Rushin, Robin Germany, Sasha Dela, Sara Waters, and Christie Blizard. Christie Blizard, lives and sleeps in her studio, an experience that creates an interesting dynamic. Day and night, work and relaxation, public and private, studio and home, these boundaries or lack there of will be among the topics of discussion. 
Christie Blizard This show is extended and will be on view through Saturday, April 28th. Lubbock based artist, Christie Blizard, lives and sleeps in her studio, an experience that creates for her a bifurcated world. One affects her dreams and her dreams affect her day, making her feel as if she has one foot in two worlds. In her exhibition at Women & Their Work, “When I Was 16, I Saw the White Buffalo,” Blizard creates collage, sculpture, video animations and installation: her show reflects literally and figuratively the two worlds that inform her life. In the half of the exhibition that represents her studio, Blizard literally references the space where artists create but also metaphorically suggests the physical, the present tense, the daytime, the here and now.

The Art of Self Tracking Join us for a conversation with artist Laurie Frick. Frick will give a visual presentation and then we'll have an open discussion about self tracking and the work on view in the exhibition "Quantify Me." 
Laurie Frick Laurie Frick draws from neuroscience to construct intricately hand-built work and installations that explore the nature of pattern and the mind. Using her background in engineering and technology she explores self-tracking and compulsive organization. She creates life's most basic patterns as color coded charts. Steps walked, calories expended, weight, sleep, time-online, gps location, daily mood as color, micro-journal of food ingested are all part of her daily tracking. She collects personal data using gadgets that point toward a time where complete self-surveillance will be the norm.
