ORE

The ORE project began with research and development of two projects exploring the feasibility of the project in both concept and technology, titled as tracings.

They were exhibited as an installation and live cinematic performance in the {cinema poesis} show at the Emily Harvey Foundation on April 30th, 2010, in Soho, NYC. The show was curated by L Brandon Krall and also featured work by William Stone.

 

Total Disintegration was later screened at the RE/Mixed Media Festival in NYC, B.EAST in the LES (curated by W/ Projects), “Now What” by Microscope Gallery in Bushwick, and MIA in Pasadena, CA.

Total Disintegration

 

A tracing from the ORE project, bridging ideas in 1920s avantegarde cinema, in this case Man Ray and Fernand Léger, where everyday objects, machines and bodies fracture and dissolve into and through each other. 

total disintegration

 

a whole that remains

fragmented

 

in an age of readymade

erotic motion yields

machine reproductions

 

a dance of avatars

recreated as spiritual matter

 

time inside out

 

the force of man

being modern

Art Process Mirrors

 

Art Process Mirrors is a tracing focused on Pablo Picasso and Jackson Pollock, during the years 1950-51 when their work and process were recorded live on camera, using glass media.

 

At play is the fascination of the Abstract Expressionists with Picasso, their effort to break free from the European tradition, and Pollock’s use of figures underneath the drip paintings, often referential to Picasso.

technique as statement

when painting is lost

electric myths are born

flash figures

break the frame

in a stroke of light

a new body
