Projection Series

Posted on December 4, 2010 by admin

Hunter Longe, Quotidian Paroxysm, video, 2010.

Title: Projection Series
Location: the luggage store at 1007 Market Street
Description: the luggage store will kick off its new Projection Series with a live performance and video by Hunter Longe and a sampler of some of the artists who will be featured in the series over the next six months.

Hunter Longe’s Quotidian Paroxysm is a video made by degenerating a series of pre-existing moving and still images into nearly abstract patterns of interference. Beautiful and unsettling, warping and disrupting the gridded framework of the pixel-based technology it employs, the piece is a reflection on the visual bombardment of our image-saturated society. A live video mix version will be created during the opening.

The sampler showcases video/media works from San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New York; and internationally from Argentina, Ghana, Spain, and the Philippines including pieces by: Adriana Varella, Akosua Adoma Owusu, barbara belloc, Carolyn Castaño, crystal am nelson, Eliza Barrios, Gina Osterloh, Jorge Bachmann, Paz De la Calzada, TWCDC, and Megan Wilson.

The evening will coincide with the Lights on Market Street launch. At 6:00pm in front of the luggage store Hunter Longe will deliver a 40-minute live performance, followed by the sampler. The projections will be repeated throughout the evening.

Projection Series is a new program of the luggage store, co-curated by Darryl Smith and Eliza Barrios. The series includes: 1) media works projected from the mezzanine level of the luggage store onto the window to be viewed from Market Street; new works will rotate bi-weekly; and 2) mobile projections that will occur randomly at site-specific locations.
