Rashaad Newsome "Standards"
Galeria Ramis Barquet (Chelsea)
This event has ended.
Eyebeam resident Rashaad Newsome will be showing the first and second instalment of his ongoing video project The Conductor, where a digital video loop is produced of footage from various Hip-Hop videos. All footage is digitally enhanced and re-edited to track the motion of the hands of the artists. He conducted a survey with local New York radio stations—Hot 97 and 105.1—to create the audio component; a composite of sounds consistently heard in artist-deemed Hip-Hop music greats. These sounds weave in and out of Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana. In addition to video, Rashaad will be showing his new collage work and sculpture.
