SUMMARY:The Loneliness of the Middle-Distance Runner
DESCRIPTION:The Loneliness of the Middle-Distance Runner\nOctober 5 â€
 “ 12, 2012 Opening Reception: October 5th, 6 – 9 pm Exhibition dates
 : October 6th, 10th, 11th, 12th Hours: 11 am – 5 pm\nFlux Factory is
  pleased to present The Loneliness of the Middle-Distance Runner, orga
 nized by Flux Curator-in-Residence, Sam Perry. This group exhibition b
 rings together film, photography, and performance works from Wales and
  New York City. The works in the show sequentially allude to a string 
 of tendencies taken from a found photograph and the stories behind it.
 \nIn 1908, London hosted its first Olympic Games, noted for a string o
 f international tensions, most evidently between Great Britain and the
  United Sates. A poster-boy for the diplomatic comedy of errors that o
 ccurred throughout the games was the gold medal-winning British athlet
 e Wyndham Halswelle. Wyndham qualified for the final of the 400 meter 
 dash, where he faced solely American competitors. During an agitated r
 ace, Wyndham was seen by an official to have been repeatedly obstructe
 d by an American counterpart. This was not allowed under the British O
 lympic ruling system and a re-run was ordered. In an act of unity and 
 defiance all U.S. athletes pulled out of the rescheduled race, leaving
  only Wyndham to reluctantly race himself, a gold medal-winning “wal
 k-over” witnessed by approximately 90,000 fans.\nThe works in the sh
 ow tangentially speak about solitude and surveillance, a reflection up
 on success and, more vocally, failure. The ambiguity of these terms is
  further explored through the found photographic image and the misrepr
 esentations they often project. Expect durational, vocal and homily-ba
 sed performances throughout the opening reception.\nParticipating arti
 sts: Adrian Owen, Alex Wolkowicz, Angela Jimenez, Blue MacAskill, Chri
 s Domenick, Jonathan Thomas, Kathryn Ashill, Kerry Downey, Louise Barr
 y, and Tom Pope.\nSam Perry’s residency is supported by Wales Arts I
 nternational.\n\n\nFor more information visit http://conectom.leimay.o
