A BRIEF HISTORY
In the fall of 2005, a spontaneous collaboration occurred between
the Artist and Writer in Residence at Bernheim Forest.
One of the resulting videos was Floating [an armada of one],
a story of time travel via canoe along Buffalo National River.
It was slated to premiere in Louisville at the New Center for Contemporary Art.
However, noting the NCCA's current display of vaguely S&M-themed works,
Ausherman pulled Floating from the exhibition and offered a more appropriate
selection: Eulogy for an Assassin.
Eulogy made its New Mexico debut at Santa Fe's Center for Contemporary Art
in February 2006.
Kanno + Ausherman returned to Kentucky in April 2006 for another collaboration,
as well as a screening titled Licks + Shots, which featured an abbreviated version
of Floating.
The full-length version of Floating, which runs nearly 6 minutes, appeared for
the first time outside of Bernheim Forest on August 25, 2006 at the Center for
Contemporary Art in Santa Fe.
The essay on which the film is based was a 2005 runner-up at Lantern Books.
