Mobile Phone Video Art Classics

06/07/2007 - 29/07/2007 ( Private View: Thursday 5 July, 7–11pm )

E:ventGallery is delighted to present an exhibition of recent work by Mark Amerika.

Mark Amerika’s recent artwork has investigated the emergence of digitally constructed identities, theoretical fictions, meta-histories, and collaborative networks. In his new artwork, Mobile Phone Video Art Classics (MPVAC), the artist composts various art personas and artworks into a narrative sequence of mobile phone video images that conjure up both the spirits of the past as well as hauntological actors of the present.

Also note - special reception for launch of Amerika’s latest book ‘META/DATA’ (MIT Press, 2007). Saturday 14 July, 7-10pm

Through of some images, audiovisual works and texts we consider several questions that look for answer in nowadays and in introspection of life like an interface similar to the one of the channel of musical and videos programs well known on the planet (and from which we have taken the freedom to parody it) in such a way that the same association of these images and sounds that anyone has seen sometimes in front of a television set with a remote control in hand, so we want to request to graphic and audiovisual artists to contribute with your work to this virtual gallery, and coming an exhibiton in places that will be announced.
