NOCTURNAL VIDEO PROGRAMME IN THE GALLERY WINDOW.

Curated by SKIP ARNOLD: "stuff from LA and other places":

For the season 2002 / 2003 the Californian video artist SKIP ARNOLD has put together a nocturnal programme which passers-by can view in the window of the gallery. They are all silent videos and will change on a weekly basis:

until December 23rd:

part 2: three videos by MICOL HEBRON
"Pocket Pool", 3,5 minutes
"T'n'A", 10 minutes
"Pisces Climatica", 9 minutes

Pocket Pool and T 'n' A are two video performances from a series of live and video performances conducted between 1998 and 2000. They all centered around my attempts to explore behaviors and activities that were exclusively male. I am interested in a proposed level of absurdity that results when a woman engages in a typically male behaviour.

POCKET POOL as a term, is a euphemism for the act of masturbating by fondling one's testicles and penis through the pocket of his pants. Definitively, this would be impossible for a woman to do, as she has neither the cue stick, nor the balls to knock around through her pocket. The video is shot as a close-up on the crotch of my jeans, allowing for an initial ambiguity regarding the gender of the subject.

T 'n' A refers to the visibly assessable and erotic parts of a woman: her tits and her ass. I used this reductive definition as the launch-pad for another investigation into male versus female activities. Shaving is one of those activities that seems divided along gender lines. I tried to imagine what would be a woman's psychological equivalent to shaving her face...

In PISCES CLIMATICA I sought to represent and interrogate issues of painting, through the medium of video. There is a linear narrative to this video, centered around the traditional, archetypical topic of the "love story", played out in 5 parts.
