Curated by Shireen Abrishamian and Banyi Huang
The Garage Door Video Series, Between Now and Then, is a look at landscapes in the process of change. Whether material or ethereal, these videos explore cycles of decay and rebirth. Artists in this series locate changes within broad thematic spectrums that range from the natural environment to human history. While some address visions of progress, others comment on acts of deliberate destruction. Most of the videos apply a specific technique of cut-out collage animation, which super-imposes moving images upon two-dimensional planes. This technique helps achieve unexpected optical delights, which, at times resemble moving paintings. Through the visual juxtaposition of stillness and movement, the marks of transformation over time become apparent.
Artists: Shoja Azari, Gazira Babeli, Negar Behbahani, Angelica Bergamini, Ulu Braun, Brian Cavanaugh, Cliff Evans, Dave Greber, Max Greis, and Marina Zurkow.
Total Run Time: approximately 50 min
In between exhibitions, BRIC House closes its gallery doors to use them as screens for our Garage Door Video Series. This Garage Door Video Series is FREE and open to the public.
