FREEZE FRAME
1 SECOND IN 30 FRAMES
LOCATION I: 4141 NE 2nd Avenue, Suite 102 (At NE 41st Street), Miami, FL 33137. On view December 4-6, 2008.
FREEZE FRAME presents a collection of video still prints by thirty international artists working in narrative, non-narrative, experimental and documentary video. Independent from its original context, a video still may convey the fragmented representation of a grander narrative, exploration or event where subjects and objects are inert, awaiting the progression of temporality. FREEZE FRAME rejects this reductive impulse and embraces the immense possibilities held within this visual tension. Whether it is gesture, action or void, the video still captures the nuance of communication and works with both the imagination and communal understandings of cinematic expression to open up a new space for creative inquiry in which linear time is abstracted and all narratives are made possible. Collectively, these thirty video stills add up to a single second in time (30fps), and each artist authors a part of the new story-telling tradition that is FREEZE FRAME, or the transcendence of the boundaries of experience, memory and the medium itself. Accompanying the exhibition will be a video screening, a site-responsive sculptural installation by Carlos Sandoval de Leon and performances by Ashanti Chaplin and Donna Stack. FREEZE FRAME will travel to Talman + Monroe Gallery, Brooklyn, NY in March 2009; and blank projects, Cape Town, South Africa in May 2009.
SATELLITE
1. any natural or man-made object that orbits about a body, often relaying communications signals or carrying instruments to gather environmental data
LOCATION II: SCOPE Miami, 2951 NE 1st Avenue (Between NE 29th & 30th Streets), Booth 326, Miami, FL 33127. On view December 3-7, 2008.
SATELLITE is a curatorial project that expands upon the conceptual framework of FREEZE FRAME and further deconstructs visual narrative into its constituent parts to test the durability of durational structures. In SATELLITE, sculptural artifacts found within the video stills of FREEZE FRAME are extracted and presented as small monuments that broaden conventional understandings of function and utility and enable spectators to reexamine their own relationship to these familiar objects which take on absurdist, biographical and hybrid meaning.
