“Videorover: Season 7” Exhibition
NURTUREart
This event has ended.
This season features a variety films and video works loosely connected by O’Brien’s invitation to consider “winter” (as a season and as an expanded notion) as overarching topic. The coldest of the seasons in the north, “winter” can actually signify a multitude of cultural, social, and historical conditions, often requiring moments of solace and self-reflection. The artists presented in this program offer diverse approaches to dealing with the cold and isolation that this contemplative time can bring.
While some artists point to the absurdity of hyper-consumerism that plagues the holiday season, others point to an underlying lonesomeness that comes from the high potential for prolonged cabin fever. Wry humor, coy performance, subtle narrative, geographical juxtaposition, affectionate documentation, and evocative sound are pervasive among all selections, used to break through the sheets of ice that wrap this time of year. O’Brien has put together a program to bring about a hopeful warmth not just to battle the impending chilliness, but also to light the fire of a collective hearth.
