Introduction to Work

October 11th, 2011

Heather showed a video frame “still”, about two different versions of herself: one embracing the other. Black embracing while. With a “man” looking into the mirror who seems to represent the viewer. Annet Couwenberg was referenced because of her fashion footage that was in the faculty exhibition earlier in the year.

Critique:
Timothy Druckrey: “Still/Moving” phenomena examines the relationship of the temporal framework. (i.e. “24-Hour Psycho”). Check the show “Cinema-Effect”, otherwise known as “El Efecto del Cine”. This piece is having issues of being in between. Is it formal or informal? Is it a set or not a set? Is it a theater or not a theater? Is it time-based yet suppose to be entered whenever? Yet looping? Is everything iconographic? Does every item have a meaning to be there? The image itself seems rather manipulative like “The Old Shepherd’s Sheep’s Mourner”.
