Aida Ruilova

Artemis Greenberg Van Doren Gallery, New York

Lets Go

Greenberg Van Doren Gallery is pleased to present Lets Go, the second NY solo exhibition by the young video artist Aïda Ruilova, on view May 4 – June 4, 2005.

Ruilova creates short format videos with sound, working in a tradition of cinematic collage. For this exhibition, she will present a 2-channel video projection entitled Countdowns, 2004, and five individual single-channel works – respectively titled Uh-Oh, OK, Umm, Oh No, and the title piece Lets Go - each shown on separate monitors. Ruilova continues to create non-narrative works that attempt to collapse and compress time. Tightly edited montages are partly inspired by the B-horror film genre as well as filmmakers such as Andrei Tarkovsky and Jean-Luc Godard. Her work reveals a strong interest in music (she previously performed with the band Alva), creating sequences that are comprised of disturbing staged visual imagery with exaggerated vocals and sound. They are filmed in basements, corridors, and cellars, as well as outdoors. Real-time is eschewed to present symbolically charged tableaus, which are repeatedly intercut, making the videos strangely captivating.

Aïda Ruilova was born in Wheeling, West Virginia and educated at The School of Visual Arts and The University of South Florida, Tampa. She has exhibited widely in the US and abroad, including Salon 94, NY; The Moore Space, Miami; Galleria Civica di Arte Contemporanea di Trento, Italy; The Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, and Blum & Poe Gallery, Los Angeles. Her work has been featured in Artforum, The New York Times, and Frieze, among other publications. She is a recipient of a Rema Hort Mann Grant, NY and an ArtPace Residency, TX.

Ruilova’s work was featured in Greater New York 2005 at P.S.1, the 2004 Whitney Biennial and the 2003 Venice Biennale.
