Talking Pictures

Members Opening Thursday, October 8, 5 - 7 pm
Public Opening Friday, October 9, 5 - 7 pm

Since the wide acceptance of video as an artistic medium in the 1990s, artists have put it to many uses including videos that resemble abstract paintings, videos that form parts of sculptures, videos that tell stories, and videos that are largely still images. One of the strongest recurring qualities in video art is a focus on the isolation and expansion of various forms of human communication.

Talking Pictures examines this quality, intrinsic to a medium that unfolds over time in images and sound. For example, the artists Diller + Scofidio, in their large projection Soft Sell from 1993, isolate red lips enticing the viewer with questions such as “Hey you, wanna buy something for nothing?” and “Hey you, wanna buy some motherly love?” Projected on a grand scale, this desirous mouth communicates with riveting efficacy, inducing wants in us we didn’t know we had.
