Trinity Square Video and Inside Out are pleased to present the North American premiere of the collaborative, editing and re-editing project, Disambiguation by the renowned artists Steve Reinke and James Richards. Working together remotely (Reinke in Chicago and Richards in London) with materials culled from each artist’s extensive, idiosyncratic archive of found and personally recorded documents, Disambiguation is a hypnotic and beautiful “mix-tape” produced by two master editors. The artists’ joint process of selection and revision recalls underground, bootlegged audio compilations–here, recontextualized by the ubiquity of digital video.
Steve Reinke is a Chicago-based artist and writer best known for his videos. His work is in many collections including the Museum of Modern Art (New York), the Centre Pompidou (Paris) and the National Gallery (Ottawa), and has screened at many festivals including Sundance, Rotterdam, Oberhausen and the New York Video Festival. Reinke received the Bell Canada Award in Video Art in 2006. In the 1990's he produced The Hundred Videos (1996), an ambitious and highly influential video project, and a book of his scripts, Everybody Loves Nothing was published by Coach House (Toronto). He has also co-edited several books, including By the Skin of Their Tongues: Artist Video Scripts (co-edited with Nelson Henricks, 1997), Lux: A Decade of Artists' Film and Video (with Tom Taylor, 2000), and The Sharpest Point: Animation at the End of Cinema (with Chris Gehman, 2005). Reinke is associate professor of Art Theory & Practice at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois.
James Richards is an artist born in Wales (1983) and based in London. Richards has presented solo exhibitions at Tramway (Glasgow) and Swallow Street Gallery (London) and as part of the group shows Nought to Sixty at the ICA (London); Generational: Younger than Jesus at the New Museum (New York); and A Song For Those In Search Of What They Came With at Bellwether Gallery (New York). His single channel videos have been screened in curated programs at the Whitechapel Gallery (London), Light Industry (New York), and the Kölnischer Kunstverein (Cologne). Working as a curator, he has presented screenings at LUX (London), FormContent (London) and Light Industry (New York).
Please join us at TSV for a Master Class with Steve Reinke. Through specific reference to his own celebrated works, Reinke will discuss the implications and possibilities of editing and animating with Adobe After Effects.
All are welcome, but enrollment is limited.
