Jan19 - March 4 2012: Prints in group show at 701 CCA
The prints I created while in residency at South Korea's Haeinsa Temple last summer are now in a group show at Columbia, South Carolina's 701 Center for Contemporary Art. From Frank McCauley, curator of the show: "The development of cinema throughout history has been inextricably linked with developments in a range of film production technologies. The recent transition from mechanical, chemical and analogue processes to those that are electronically and digitally based has provided artists with an extraordinary range of creative opportunities. As digital data, the fundamental elements that constitute the cinematic experience – space, time, light, sound and motion – are now infinitely malleable and endlessly reconfigurable."
