"On September 11th, 2009, Squeaky Wheel will celebrate the opening of their newly accumulated storefront exhibition space during Curtain Up! 2010 with a full-scale video/sound sculpture, "Submerged Ghosts", by award winning artists Megan Roberts & Raymond Ghirardo. After spending much time on the west coast during various art residencies, this Ithaca-based art duo created “Submerged Ghosts” with a fascination regarding ghost towns and ghost lands, specifically to address issues surrounding the disappeared towns of the west-- not just for the historical narratives, artifacts and physical evidence, but for the initial stories conjured that lead to other stories told. This site-specific video and sound sculpture will feature video projections which reflect off of multiple man-made ponds built into the space and casted salt molds of body parts that will slowly disintegrate throughout the duration of the exhibition."
