Moving Image New York 2014
Waterfront New York Tunnel, New York
The contemporary art fair. With a selection of 35 videos and installations by artists represented by galleries and non-profit institutions from around the world. It include historical works by highly influential pioneers of video and filmmaking.
Moving Image art fair returns to the Waterfront New York Tunnel, March 6-9, 2014 with a selection of 35
single-channel videos and installations by artists represented by galleries and non-profit institutions from
around the world. Moving Image has been conceived to offer a viewing experience with the excitement
and vitality of a fair, while allowing moving-image-based artworks to be understood and appreciated on
their own terms.
Highlights of the 2014 New York fair include historical works by highly influential pioneers of video and
filmmaking, including Nam June Paik's 1995 sculpture Dog (Schroeder Romero, Mixed Greens and
Pavel Zoubok Gallery New York, and courtesy of Thomas Solomon and John Solomon). The 1971 film I
Cani Lenti by Franco Vaccari (Galleria Michela Rizzo) was created just prior to the artist's participation
in the Venice Bienalle with his milestone work, Esposizione in Tempo Reale. Lascia una traccia
fotografica del tuo passaggio. And in her 1993 film Nymphomania, Tessa Hughes-Freeland (P·P·O·W,
New York) in collaboration with Holly Adams explores the sexual stereotypes of female passiveness
versus male aggression in a film both brutal and humorous.
Making their world premieres at Moving Image are Lisa Gwilliam & Ray Sweeten's (DataSpaceTime)
multi-channel instal-lation Debugging, 2014 (Microscope Gallery, Brooklyn, NY), featuring images of
divers broken into thousands of rotating animated gifs reassembled across grids on two 60-inch LED
screens while on a third screen plays a real-time visual report of the activities of the main screens. Also
being shown for the first time anywhere is Patty Chang's Invocation for a Wandering Lake, Part 1,
(Creative Capital and Moving Image Presents, New York) in which the artist washes the corpse of a dead
sperm whale in an act of ablution and mourning. The sperm whale, white from decomposition, brings to
mind Moby Dick and a spirit of the end of empire.
Lorem Ipsum 1 (2013), a video by Victoria Fu (Emerson Dorsch, Miami, FL), who is also in this year's
Whitney Biennial, gathers clips from stock footage and animated GIFs that coalesce into a narrative that
exists simultaneously in both digital and celluloid realms—between desktop interface, color field and
cinematic space. For Rainbow Aggregator (2013), Jason Salavon (Mark Moore Gallery, Los Angeles,
CA) uses software processes of his own design to generate and reconfigure masses of communal
material into a continuous, real-time representation of ―trending topics‖ sourced from Twitter and Google.
The relentless conversion of global activity into a scrolling, over-saturated rainbow seeks to address our
abundant data-stream through both literal (the text) and abstract (the color) means.
Events and Special Projects
For this exclusive partnership with Moving Image, ART21 will host the ―ART21
Loung -a newly designated space- for all fairgoers to relax and view its latest
documentary film series, ART21 Artist to Artist, and a selection of films and
trailers from its series ART21 Art in the Twenty-First Century, ART21 New York
Close Up and ART21 Exclusive.
Sponsored by Congruent Creative Workshop, the New York based event design

an intimate setting so that fairgoers can view ART21’s films at their leisure. The films
will run continuously, providing visitors with ample opportunity to watch the most
compelling films about contemporary artists working today.
Moving Image Spotlight Panel Discussions, Sponsored by 21c Museum Hotel
