Sinopsis: |
This work was made with Montreal (Canada) action/abstract painter Graham Cantieni for a special event in honor of his retirement from the function of Professor of Visual Arts at the University of Quebec in Three Rivers where he taught since the '80s. With the help of a miniature surveillance camera, about the size of a lipstick, which was fastened to the hand of the artist while he painted, the video presents the point of view of the paint-brush during Cantieni's creative process. Brush stroke after brush stroke, the painting emerges in all its texture and physicality, abstract and palpable, to the minimal drone music of NY intermedia composer Phill Niblock which Cantieni invited to participate. Based on a collaborative concept by Cantieni, Niblock and Liberovskaya.
Music: "Hurdy Hurry" by Phill Niblock from Touch Works for Hurdy Gurdy and Voice, 2000 Touch Records, TO:49 |
