Zach Feuer Gallery , New York
NATHALIE DJURBERG Zach Feuer Gallery (LFL) is pleased to present an exhibition of video work by Swedish artist Nathalie Djurberg. To relay the stories behind her films, Djurberg calls on a cast of plasticine puppets, that she models by hand, to lend their help. These figures become vehicles through which narratives travel. However, these narratives subtly transmogrify into intense studies of human behavior at their most crass, reflexive, complex and magnetic. Read on...Zach Feuer Gallery |

Foxy Production, New York
MICHAEL BELL-SMITH : FOCUSED, FORWARD Bell- Smith mixes original and appropriated digital imagery to create idea-driven and highly crafted video. He collects digital images - from the earliest videogames to contemporary Internet files - to create video that investigates its own means of production. He makes the cell of the digital image, the pixel, apparent, and sets in relief the constituent elements of the moving image: tempo, perspective, frame, and figure. With destabilized narratives and endless loops; figure and gesture, rather than character and action; and 3D continually collapsing into 2D, his work disorients and enthralls.

Galerie Maisonneuve, Paris
Kerry Tribe Galerie Maisonneuve presents two major works, Here & Elsewhere, 2002 and Near Miss, 2005. Image taken from - Near Miss is the second in a series of new works dealing with perception, coincidence, and the phenomenology of memory. Insofar as the film is an attempt to reenact an undocumented event witnessed only by its director ten years past, the work touches on the problems associated with the objective communication of subjective memory.

James Cohan Gallery, New York
HIRAKI SAWA Sawa, a Japanese artist living in London, uses video animation to create poetic dreamscapes that are ruminations on ideas of time and movement; innocence and alienation; dislocation and displacement. These themes are evident in his work of the past 5 years, including the widely exhibited Dwelling, 2003, where the artist’s apartment serves as both a domicile and international airport with miniature jets gliding past everyday household objects and surroundings.

lizabeth oliveria gallery, Los Angeles
Jen Liu + Bjørn Melhus + Clare Rojas Image pictured - "Infinite Jam" is a 4 channel video piece by Jen Liu. Based on Liu’s current body of work “The Brethren of the Stone, or, The Stoners,” is as the artists states “an exploration of the image of bearded men in white robes, bringing together fictional 14th century monastic heretics, 60’s/70’s hippies, contemporary Muslim extremists, as well as contemporary bearded hipsters, in their shared desire to escape into a world of their own making. For the thing they all share is a doomed and frustrated feeling about the status quo, resulting in flight and hermetic denial.” Read on...lizabeth oliveria gallery |
