Presented by internationally renowned artist Lita Albuquerque, Prime Meridian: Zero Degrees explored the relationship between humanity and the movement of the cosmos. Albuquerque projected two videos on the walls of stellar rotation from the north and south poles and a projection on the ground of a body’s shadow running. In this projected world, Albuquerque suspended our ordinary reality. The normal ebb and flow of life ceased, in order to better understand our common bonds of time, stillness and motion.
With sound composed by Susan Deyhim, Prime Meridian: Zero Degrees was performed by Jasmine Albuquerque Croissant, Marc Breslin and Clarissa Ribiero.
Lita Albuquerque is an installation/environmental artist, painter and sculptor. She has developed a visual language that brings the realities of time and space to a human scale and is acclaimed for her ephemeral and permanent art works executed in the landscape and public sites.
By approaching living material with the tools of artistic research, Ted Meyer worked to create poetic, yet absurd interactions between the individual and the environment, focusing on how creative impulse marks and alters the living world.

She has exhibited internationally since 1972. Joyce Cutler-Shaw’s works—public installations, drawings and artists books—are represented in both Museum and Library Special Collections including the Albertina Museum in Vienna, New York’s Museum of Modern Art, The 42nd Street Library, the Klinspor Museum in Germany, the Teylers Museum in The Netherlands, and the Herbert Johnson Museum at Cornell.
