Shade group show

I just recently found that the CRL Gallery here in Austin has put up the essays from the catalog on the site.
Here’s the link to the essay on my piece “Interval” written by Alberto McKelligan Hernández. Make sure to check out all the work in the show, good stuff!

Imagem Dos Povos

This is an interesting project happening in Ouro Preto, Minas Gerais. The festival Imagem dos Povos. Two of my videos “Landscape Theory” and “How Things Work” are included in the screenings.

KunstFilmBiennale

My video “Landscape Theory” is being shown in Germany at the KunstFilmBiennale, in a program called:
Focus on South America
Six programmes comprising art films from South America that have never or rarely been shown in Germany, compiled by Brazilian curator and producer Solange Farkas. From experimental film to dance and video art to political manifesto.

Interview with Marcellvs

Hey people, finally back from my two week Brasil trip, it was amazing and the Festival was great, lot’s of amazing people and good work. So a couple of things, first check out this interview with fellow artist from Belo Horizonte, Marcellvs. There’s also some clips of his work.
Also I found this very cool little site called Vimeo. It’s a Blog very much like Fotolog with the diference that it allows for posting video! I will try to use this from now on… so check it out every once in awhile.
cheers!

Too bad I missed this!

15th VideoBrasil

Allright, next Monday I’m off to São Paulo for the 15th VideoBrasil. My video Landscape Theory will be shown in the competitive screening "Southern Panoramas" in the "Contemporary Investigations" division which: "…brings together instigating research in video, works that generate a new restlessness concerning the processes of audiovisual production, experimenting with concepts and languages and seeking to expand their boundaries. These are works that frequently point towards future developments and expansions in electronic art." Check out this part of the site to see what’s going on… lot’s of fun stuff!

Isabela Prado at SoFA

My friend and former teacher at the School of Fine Arts at UFMG in Brasil, who is now completing her graduate studies at the Indiana University, just made a new performance. The results can be seen at the SoFA Gallery. Nice pictures of the performance available at the site.
