Jamie Dillon presents My B====D Fell Off Reine Des Coeurs
.
My mind became speedily divested of any fears I might have indulged in, as to the want of preparation of our entertainer. The table was covered with all the appanage of handsome plate and cut glass, while the side-tables glittered with a magnificent dessert, and two large vats that would have tempted an anchorite. I remember very little else of that evening than the coup d'oeil I have mentioned; besides, were my memory more retentive, I might scruple to treswine-coolers presented an array of champagne necks shining with their leaden crapass farther on my reader's patience, by the detail of those pleasures, which, like love-letters, however agreeable to the parties immediately concerned, are very unedifying to all others. I do remember, certainly, that good stories and capital songs succeeded each other with a rapidity only to be equalled by the popping of corks; and have also a very vague and indistinct recollection of a dance round the table, evidently to finish a chorus, but which, it appears, finished me too, for I saw no more that night.
Jamie Dillon est un artiste et une vie idiote à Philadelphie. D'autres détails de sa vie ne sont pas pertinents à l'exposition.
In General Index, Mark Stockton introduces three new drawing projects that compile mediated portraiture in an attempt to define an American Identity based on individualism. Compound images reveal layered levels of research that are visually organized through systems of geometric order.
Stockton’s drawings have been shown both nationally and internationally, with exhibitions in Los Angeles, New York, London, and China. He holds an MFA from Syracuse University and a BFA from Oregon State University. He currently teaches design and drawing at Drexel University. He works in Philadelphia, where he lives with his wife, son, and dog.
AT FOURTH WALL
Laure Prouvost
IT, HEAT, HIT, 2010
[Curated by Michael Connor]
Laure Prouvost’s It, Heat, Hit is a staccato composition of fragmentary images, abrupt inter-titles and an urgent, whispered voice-over. Organized according to an oblique and shifting logic, the piece weaves a loose narrative of desire and past trauma while pushing the limits of comprehension and coherence. The video is partly a narrative and partly a free, self-referential play with cinematic form and structure.
Laure Prouvost was born in 1978 in Croix-Lille, France, and lives and works in London. She graduated from Central Saint Martins College of Arts in 2002. In 2009 she completed the LUX Artist Associate Programme. Her work, which includes painting, video, sound and site-specific work, has been exhibited widely. She won the EAST International Award 2009 in Norwich, UK. Since 2003 she has also been Director of tank.tv, the online platform for artists’ work in moving images.
