PROJECTS (SELECTED) Joel Tauber’s practice is made up of large-scale research projects that yield multi-faceted and wide ranging art objects including installations, films, sculptures, photographs, and public art.

Tauber’s projects have been presented in a variety of forms, including: solo and group art exhibitions; film festivals (and other film screenings); public art installations; as well as through various media outlets (television, radio, print, and the web).

• The Sharing Project (2011 - in progress) poses questions about whether we share enough in our capitalist world. It focuses on the seemingly simple task of Tauber teaching his young son Zeke to share. As Tauber and Zeke struggle to understand what sharing means and how much we should share, experts in different fields offer their thoughts, creating more complexity and questions. In pursuit of answers, Tauber and his son turn to the forgotten Socialist Jewish commune of Happyville (1905-1908) in South Carolina, hoping that some of the mysteries of sharing are buried in the traces of the utopian community. The Sharing Project is an installation featuring 15 short films, 21 interviews, and a communal toy sculpture. It will also become a feature film.

• Pumping (2009-2011) ponders the fragility and temporality of LA’s foundation, while it imagines a future when water is scarce and oil no longer exists. As an installation, Pumping is comprised (in its most complete form) of three video projections, train tracks, a giant metal “filmstrip”, a series of photographs, and a handcar sculpture. Pumping also exists as a 6-minute movie.

• Sick-Amour (2005-ongoing) celebrates a forlorn sycamore tree that is stuck in the middle of a giant parking lot, as it describes Tauber’s crusade to improve the tree’s life. The full art installation consists of a 12-channel video sculpture in the shape of a tree, a series of photographs, two giant earring sculptures for the tree, as well as golden leaf necklaces and fruitball earrings for Tauber and other tree lovers. As a public art project, 200 tree babies (offspring of the adopted tree) have been planted throughout Southern California; many are adorned with a series of plaques and even – at a number of schools – sculptural necklaces. Sick-Amour is also a 33-minute hybrid documentary film / love story.

• The Underwater Project: Turning Myself Into Music (2003-2004) is a 3-channel video installation that chronicles Tauber’s investigations underwater and translates his movements during 40 scuba dives into music. The exhibition space is turned into an underwater disco.

• Searching For The Impossible: The Flying Project (2001-2003) contemplates the relationships between flight and metaphysics, as it chronicles Tauber’s numerous failed attempts to fly before he achieves success: Tauber flies 150 feet over the desert for an hour and a half in a musical flying machine that he constructs. The art installation consists (in its most complete form) of a 32-minute film, a series of photographs, and the musical flying machine / sculpture.

• Seven Attempts to Make a Ritual (2000-2001) is a 7-channel video installation that chronicles Tauber’s attempts to place himself inside the Earth in particular ways in order to achieve a mystical experience. The project can also be seen (in a more condensed form) as a 24-minute film.
