In many different approaches these artists address
our current political and physical environment.

Perry Bard
“Logic” DVD 2006
Philosopher Nick Pappas expounds on Aristotle’s definition of a syllogism using the
Department of Homeland Security as inspiration. Footage of Homeland Security at work in NY subways and airports mix with pure color while the syllogism dissolves into babble.

Aunrico Gatson
“Media Center” 2003 is a single channel video shown on three
monitors. It is a meditation on the atrocities of the War in Iraq through
the use of images lifted off the internet. The soundtrack is a Tibetan
Buddhist chant that expresses both chaos and order.

Jillian Mcdonald
Horror Cycle: The Bloom of the Triffid
video • 2006
animation • 2006
The Bloom of the Triffid is a one and a half minute animation loop. In August 2006 one of the world’s most rare and remarkable plants, a corpse flower, bloomed in Brooklyn’s Botanical Garden. Visitors came in droves, attracted to the flower's monstrousness. Notably, in Victorian times, ladies were not permitted to view such a bloom due to it’s phallic visual reference. A webcam was trained on the bloom which released a gruesome stench. Throughout the week-long bloom, I tracked the webcam, fanatically downloading images. The title and soundtrack reference "The Day of the Triffids", a novel written by John Wyndham in 1951 and made into a cult film in 1962. Triffids are fictional plants that are capable of various animal behaviors including attacking and killing humans.

"Homegrown Allure" DVD 2007
Young tobacco plants open, close, and gently sway
in styrofoam cells. Fifteen hours become eighteen
seconds, only to become eternity. Excerpted from
a timelapse animation created during a month-long
exhibition at artMovingProjects in the spring of
2007.

Paul Slocum with Chad Hopper
"Hats"
"A big chunk of Slocum's screen space is taken up with a banal jpeg of
baseball hats on an armchair; the rest is a confused multiplicity of
windows opening and closing as well as overlapping and interrupting a guy
confessing on YouTube his unfaithfulness to his girlfriend." Tom Moody

William Stone

This video first shown at artMoving in 2004 shows President George Bush talking on National television. The Cuts make him seem more himself.

natalie moore in group show opening september 12th



Strand is a show of artists who work in a similar vein. A shared affinity for the hard within the soft and the potency of material is explored. There is a poetic strength to the work which refers to both the physical environment and to a broader sense of social connectivity. The fact that all the work is in some way contingent upon its environment speaks to a desire not simply to transcend a mutual dependency, but to embrace it. Pieces hang from the ceiling, are embedded in the wall, piled upon the floor, wrapped around structure, or woven into armature. Strand, in this fashion, transcends the simple meaning of fiber, thread or linear form to evoke a sense both of connectedness and isolation.

Featured artists:

Rico Gatson
Orly Genger

Jac Lernier
