| Event Description |
LOS/NR is thrilled to present the latest major work by the pioneering American video and installation artist Frank Gillette (b. 1941, Jersey City, NY). Gillette is the recipient of fellowships from the Rockefeller Foundation and the Guggenheim Foundation, as well as grants from the New York State Council on the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts.
The Symbiotic Blues is the world premier of a 9-channel video study of woodland and beach of eastern Long Island. It consists of three video triptychs (Riverrun, Spearlight, and Blackseer) exploring the ways in which we experience the natural world. In nine endless loops, Gillette returns to a subject he has been drawn to for over fifty years; the relationship between the natural world and the ways in which we experience it over time. He achieves this through a complex engagement with classic genres: still-life, landscape, and symbolic abstraction combined with soundtracks mixing natural and electronic sounds. |
