Five conomies (big hunt/ little hunt). Five Economies is a two-part work whose main component, Big Hunt, is a mural-sized, five-screen video projection. The silent black and white footage, which is based on a variety of themes and sources such as popular films and traditional Irish wakes, consists of various singular scenes which have been re-choreographed and re-staged multiple times. Each re-staging utilizes different acting styles and approaches to movement and gesture.
Five Economies (big hunt/ little hunt)
Catherine Sullivan exhibits her multi-screen video installation, Five
Economies (big hunt/ little hunt), at Metro Pictures from February 15
through March 22.
Five Economies is a two-part work whose main component, Big Hunt, is a
mural-sized, five-screen video projection. The silent black and white
footage, which is based on a variety of themes and sources such as popular
films and traditional Irish wakes, consists of various singular scenes which
have been re-choreographed and re-staged multiple times. Each re-staging
utilizes different acting styles and approaches to movement and gesture.
Sullivan's work examines the ways in which the meaning of a particular
scene, moment or gesture changes according to the style or mode in which
it is choreographed and performed. Sullivan¹s interests lie less in
deconstructing theatrical conventions, than in exploring the transmission of
expressive or emotive narrative content, and in examining the territory
between art and life.
Catherine Sullivan was born in 1968 in Los Angeles, where she currently
lives and works. She received a BFA in 1992 from the California Institute
of the Arts and her MFA from the Art Center College of Design in 1997. The
recent exhibition Catherine Sullivan: Five Economies (big hunt/ little hunt)
was co-organized by the Renaissance Society at the University of Chicago and
the Hammer Museum at the University of California, Los Angeles. Her
performance work has been presented at independent venues in Los Angeles,
Chicago, and Tokyo. Her video works have been screened at the Vienna
Secession, Austria; Museum Villa Stuck, Munich, Germany; Galerie Christian
Nagel, Cologne, Germany; 123 Brussels and at the Nouvelles Scenes festival
at Le Consortium Art Center in Dijon, France.
