standard video art

civilization by Marco Brambilla on vimeo from boing boing.
Civilization is a video installation we created with artist/director Marco Brambilla for the elevators Standard Hotel in NYC. It’s comprised of over 400 video clips and it takes elevator passengers on a trip from hell to heaven as they go up or from heaven to hell as they go down.
anyone been here? i went to the standard in l.a. a long time ago, but haven’t been to the new york one yet. this installation looks awesome.
i wonder if you can see it without renting a room.

klara liden
Friday, August 22nd, 2008
so i went to the new museum for the first time yesterday to see a piece by klara liden.
i did this because deb satter, a video artist that i’m gonna be working with, told me to check it out. the show ‘after nature’ was all around cool, but liden’s piece was really interesting. if you go you should check it out - it’s on the back staircase between the 3rd and 4th floor galleries.
i asked one of the museum employees if that was her only work in the exhibit and she said, “yes, and thank you for noticing it.”
liden is part of reena spaulings, this art gallery/collective. the piece at the new museum, “untitled” (not pictured above), is this little cardboard room hidden away from the rest of the exhibit.
you walk in to find three little stools and a beautifully cut, textured wall of cardboard that seems to reach infinitely high. a small, shitty tv sits on the floor and you have to look down to see the video (which is of some dude walking backwards through various cityscapes shot in profile). at first it seemed kind of boring, but as you sit, the simple repetitive piano music kind of puts you in a kind of creepy zen situation.
then you notice the obnoxiously huge, black foamcore inverted representation of the new museum itself twirling above your head on a string. i loved this part. it was this awesome commentary on the hideousness of the building’s architecture, and it floated over you like a regret.
the new museum is free from 7-10pm on thursdays, FYI.
