So, it’s an all-video show.
Perhaps you are curious about the decision to go all-video when what we make is, for the most part, so material. It was reached after many prolonged meetings, protracted conversations, and near stalemates among the sixteen of us as we sought a means of collectively presenting our work. We wondered how to show our print, interactive, motion, and environmental pieces in a gallery setting. It seemed disappointing to heave an armload of objects onto a table and just leave them there, so disembodied from the world for which they were designed. Finally, we agreed to forgo the objects, turn off the lights, and present our work immaterially, as a series of looping video reels.
Photos of the closing reception, held on May 15, 2009, are pooled in the exhibition’s Flickr group. Sandra Burns also documented the exhibition space .
