“GUTTURAL!”
There is obvious and natural rawness to Martin Back’s work, an unbridled energy exuding its life force. Similarly, Paulo Barros’s percolating abstractions are only inhibited by their forced rectangular enclosures. Hey-Yeun Jang’s work penetrates the “in-between,” the deep cracks that are left unexplored in familiar realities. Niclas Hallberg (with his collaborator Stina Pehrsdotter), gives voice to disoriented beings that have come to feel shame in a civilization that has alphabetized and codified proper conduct. Wilfried Agricola de Cologne’s videos are both visually and viscerally penetrating, and his clear observations are potent and commanding. It is not necessarily the grating quality of the sound that makes these works guttural, but the restless audacity of the artists to breech the boundaries of the agreeable, the proper, and the familiar.

About Manipulated Image:

These monthly screenings, conceived and curated by multimedia artist Alysse Stepanian, feature experimental short videos by artists that explore the innovative use of technology and software to manipulate image. Artists will discuss the way they digitally transform images to achieve their personal vision. Alysse has images from earlier sessions available here.
