Art Event
University Art Museum Cory Arcangel: Colors
September 12-December 13: Reception on Saturday, September 12, 6-8pm
University Art Museum
Admission: $4; free for UAM members, those with CSULB, and children under 12
The presentation of the video installation Colors by celebrated New York-based media and performance artist, Cory Arcangel, marks a rare showing of his work on the West Coast. Using the 1988 film Colors as his source material (directed by Dennis Hopper and starring Sean Penn), Arcangel digitally manipulates the image using a “slit scan” technique, with pixels drawn out in length and extended vertically, line by line. The film’s audio unfolds in real time during the installation, while the projected abstract, linear imagery follows its own pace, as each pixel is extended. It would take thirty-three days of continual play to represent every color in the film, were it allowed to run its cinematic course.
Art Event
University Art Museum Brian Eno: 77 Million Paintings
September 12-December 13: Reception on Saturday, September 12, 6-8pm
University Art Museum
Admission: $4; free for UAM members, those with CSULB, and children under 12
Using sophisticated computer software and audio boom boxes, this project features constantly changing images and musical compositions which challenge the notion that the artist must be in control. Eno’s input simply sets the trajectory for the work to evolve into patterns that have the potential for surprising him as well as the audience. With carefully designed lighting, relaxed seating, and strategically placed speakers, viewers enjoy an experience that is continuously evolving. The exhibition consists of a wall of twelve monitors (of varying dimensions) that reflect the parameters Eno has programmed into several computers. The images slowly transform into a virtually endless series of visual configurations.
