Скачать или смотреть Nasher Public: Celia Eberle on ‘Waiting for Robot’

Celia Eberle’s ‘Waiting for Robot’ portends a future that may never arrive—one where the power dynamics between automation and human engineering have reversed, allowing for the rise of artificial intelligence and technology’s control over humankind.

‘Waiting for Robot’s’ disembodied hand animates the movements of spinning figures that dance to music at various intervals throughout the day. Composed of detritus and clothed in handmade and vintage costumes, the characters appear downtrodden, and it becomes clear that their dancing is compulsory. Nearby, a castle of bones titled Promise represents “escapist dreams of superior wealth, the promise of a heavenly afterlife, and a reason to keep dancing,” as the artist describes.

About Celia Eberle
Celia Eberle grew up in the Piney Woods of East Texas. She received her BFA with Honors from Stephen F. Austin State University in 1974 and dates her professional career from her inclusion in Women of the Big State, juried by Lisa Phillips in 1986. Eberle began developing her theories regarding the interrelationship of behavior patterns, myth, and the persistence of images while a member of the historic co-op 500X Gallery from 1987-1992. She has had more than seventeen solo exhibits, and her work has been included in shows in Buffalo, New York; Portland, Oregon; and Chicago.

Public collections include the Dallas Museum of Art, the San Antonio Museum of Art, the Art Museum of Southeast Texas, and the J. Wayne Stark Gallery at Texas A&M. She believes that, in spite of our love of technology and progress, the basic character of the human experience remains essentially unchanged.
