Burt Barr Exhibition
Sikkema, Jenkins & Co
This event has ended.
Sikkema Jenkins & Co. presents an exhibition of new works by Burt Barr.
For this exhibition Burt Barr returns to his guiding premise, "that black & white are the only two colors I'll ever need.” A believer of the single take – no matter its length – Barr's work is the antithesis of most modern day film and video. All works were shot by Barr and mastered by his longtime editor, Steve Hamilton.
The videos are all projected directly on the wall and looped for continual viewing. Using bare necessities to convey movement they hang much as paintings or, more appropriately, black and white photographs.
The exhibition will feature the premier of several works including: Gun (2007), Donkey & Lightning (2008), Frog (2008), and Jodi (2008) - a new version of a work originally conceived as a set for The Liz Gerring Dance Company and presented at Danspace in December 2006.
