The solo exhibition will feature Psalm 121, a film made possible by a Ramapo College Teaching, Learning, and Technology Roundtable grant.  The film was created specifically for the Video iPod as a virtual amulet.  The images were mostly collected on the Lower East Side and Ellis Island.  In the film, Psalm 121 is chanted in a Sephardic style by Alain Checroun.  Other works to be projected and installed for the exhibition include Trivial Topographies, Bush Blinks and Soft Targets.

The Clemente Soto Velez Cultural Center is a Puerto Rican/Latino cultural institution that reflects the diversity of the lower East Side of Manhattan.  The Center is located at 107 Suffolk Street; gallery hours are 4 – 9 p.m. weekdays.
