Modern Mondays

The Museum of Modern Art - MoMA, New York

Recently nominated for the 2014 Turner Prize for his Rosebud (2013), James Richards is known for his provocative and visually seductive moving-image works. Collaged from a wide range of source material, from intimate home movies, archival footage, and television clips to obscure Internet streams, Richards's work dissolves fixed form through reconfiguration and remix. His style of presentation varies from more traditional screenings to installations and live improvisational video compositions, and his work addresses the relentless flow of imagery that has defined the 21st century, carving out a space for the exploration of personal politics and new digital materiality. He is also an archaeologist of media histories, conducting research and curating projects about obscure practices and obsolete technologies. For Modern Mondays, he will present some of his own pieces alongside a selection of videos by artists he continues to champion as key precedents for his own work.
