"Keeping Busy: An Inaccurate Survey of Michel Auder" Exhibition
Newman Popiashvili Gallery
This event has ended.
PARTICIPANT INC, in conjunction with Zach Feuer Gallery and Newman Popiashvili Gallery, is pleased to present "Keeping Busy: An Inaccurate Survey of Michel Auder," a solo exhibition by pioneering video artist Michel Auder. This multi-venue survey will coincide with a weeklong encore screening of "The Feature" (2008), directed by Auder and Andrew Neel, at Anthology Film Archives in New York; and a rare screening of Van’s "Last Performance" (1972) at Volume2 in Los Angeles.
Five monitors will screen a series of recent vignettes at Newman Popiashvili. These superimposed videos mix images shot from mobile phones and underwater devices, along with footage from Auder’s handheld camera. The videos will be screened one at a time with the images moving from one monitor to the next. A recurring image of a sleeping woman becomes the backdrop for more dreamlike images of wolves, rabbits, water, and children. Newman Popiashvili will also exhibit Auder’s 2009 "Heads of the Town," a slower-paced, intimate view of torsos in various states, at school, smoking, eating, and gazing off into the abyss.
