Young and rising video artist Julian added recently a new piece to his open end video series "Wednesdays". In a genre, dull and boring as eating with covid symptons, his new video seems like a weak collaboration of his former work. Nontheless the video catches you with a stupendous smile and gives you a laugh. It has a clown aspect which makes it funnier than most of the sketches he does and it has that goofy celebrity quotient you can only find in the presence of a number one actress. Its not a particularly great performance, but its good for a kick.Terry Foxs art remains in the trunk of his truck and also has to be seen. His oil painting with a photo spread on it and some gray-green/greenish-blue constructions are a weak effort. The black-covered constructions show Fox to be an art student working hard at a genre, but they lack the slapstick of his earlier work. In them the images get caught up with the power of a facsimile of real experience which is strangely out of step with the rest of the body.Terry Fox is a retired working painter and an artist who has been showing regularly in the area for a few years. He has worked with a number of different forms of abstraction—sketchy, cursive, squiggly lines, painted in acrylic, squiggly rectangles—but the paintings are the weakest here. The lines that separate the planes in the way of the rectangles are rough and clumsy. They dont fill the canvas with the presence that Fox normally gives them. The planes are organized around the planes and look as if they were projected out from the plane rather than for some temporary use. The planes are also too often blocked out and the frames look as if they were on the verge of closing, a quality that a lot of his work has.Terry Foxs humor is kept alive by the fact that he has not been able to do anything particularly ambitious in the process of moving on from his work of the mid 70s. His humor is a sort of perfunctory cackling which can be completely effective, but which leaves you on the back of the back seat instead of the front seat.
Young and rising video artist Julian added recently a new piece to his open end video series "Wednesdays". In a genre, dull and boring as eating with covid symptons, his new video seems like a weak collaboration of his former work. Nontheless the video catches you with its awkward ending, so you watch, expecting to be greeted by a familiar face from a previous appearance. Instead, you feel youre in front of something youve never seen, and its easy to be turned off when it comes time to sign up for an individual track.There is also the matter of the video being presented on a low, barely real-life-size monitor, which in turn devaluates it, and also makes you wonder why the chosen title, My Husband, Is Saying, isnt more appropriate. After all, an old-fashioned video camera is clearly not intended for video, a format whose very formal qualities are somehow overabundance, as if not even the best video camera could achieve such a luxury.Since the works in Monochrome View, both of which belong to the other series of the show, were cut short, there is no way of knowing whether the same cuts were made as to the potential for additional videos to be added. In any case, these last cuts, which were made to accommodate each other and thereby, at least at the end, remove the potential for further loops, represent a failure of will that, as in the other pieces in the show, seems to grow in the sight of the least abrasive cuts.An additional opening gesture was also a simple black-and-white television set whose grid of cutaway antennas—surrounded by a shimmering violet screen—lent the gallery its fifth sense of the textural elements of it and made the idea of a video installation seem overly poetic.The sculptures and installation, however, remain on a par with Monochrome View. In the case of Herbert Heinemanns video, the similarity between the two are largely accidental, since Monochrome View seemed to predominate in the immediate heyday of Monochrome View, while Herbert Heinemanns work has continued to grow.
its incompetent premise. Its got a leg to stand on, but neither of the characters on the show addresses a single conceptual problem. Its as if the work just stood there trying to be a bit more chic.
your feet on the ground, and the audience has to learn to see it from the front. Otherwise, you have no idea what it means.
your pants down and will probably remain so. But if you eat with chinos and top hats, you deserve a delicious world.
