*opening reception*
Saturday, April 14 (6-9pm)
the artist will be present

This exhibition presents a comprehensive screening of major video works of Marina Grzinic + Aina Smid (artists and filmmakers from Ljubljana, Slovenia).

"SILENCE, SILENCE, SILENCE" (2001) a large scale video projection, will be premiered as part of the exhibition.

Video stills from earlier works (1992-2000) will be presented as a continual series of slide projections in the gallery space.  Among the works presented will be "Labyrinth" (1993),  awarded at ZKM, Karlsruhe, Germany World Video Competition in 1993,  "Luna 10" (1994) awarded at the San Francisco International Film Festival, 1995); the work "On the Flies of The Market Place" (1999) which received first prize at the Nuremberg Video Festival in Germany (2000).

The  video works + the digital prints juxtapose images of intimacy, sex, mass culture + history. The works present a powerful layering of fiction with facts of brutal reality. The body is here presented as artificial matter, a constant product of ritual + nothingness.

"We find ourselves in all bodies + in all media, but this is not an innocent act."
