Peter Welz / Video-sculpture

Curated by Matthew Lyons and Debra Singer

This first New York solo exhibition by the Berlin-based artist Peter Welz is part of a series of collaborations with choreographer William Forsythe that stems from their shared interest in the work of Samuel Beckett. In this new project, a video depicting Forsythe's physical interpretation of a written phrase derived from Beckett is projected onto an architectural construction. This structure’s contours, in turn, are Welz's transposition of Forsythe's movements into abstract three-dimensional form. Combining elements of video, sculpture, and drawing, the installation offers a complex meditation on both the physical and mental processes by which we perceive, and make sense of, the figure in space.
This exhibition is made possible with sponsorship support from Altria Group, Inc.

Jenny Perlin / Transcript

Known for her live-action and animated films that work within and against the documentary tradition, Jenny Perlin premieres a new installation developed from her research on 1950s wire-tapping and surveillance practices carried out by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. By restaging quotidian situations and misunderstandings evident in archival records, Perlin explores the ways in which political machinations are reflected even in the simplest aspects of daily life.
Transcript is made possible with support from The Greenwall Foundation, the Jerome Foundation, The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, and with public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts, a state agency.
