OPENING THIS FRIDAY, JULY 13TH AT LUGGAGE STORE
"COME ACROSS"
a film and video installation
with Amy Patton (film) and Ga?lle Boucand (video)
curated by Christina Linden
July 13th - July 28th, 2007
Opening Reception
Friday, July 13th 6-8 PM
Gallery hours:
Wed. - Sat. 12 - 5 PM and by appointment
the luggage store is pleased to announce the exhibition “Come Across,” curated by Christina Linden as a part of the Short Cuts mentorship program
for emerging curators and artists.
"Come Across" brings two young emerging Berlin based artists to San Francisco’s luggage store and features a film by AMY PATTON and a video and sound work by GA?LLE BOUCAND. Both Patton and Boucand meticulously craft moving image and sound that appear to be half-forgotten and unexplained relics from another time, to be rediscovered by the viewer. The embedded narratives, whether dictated or implied, leave gaps and missing information.
G?elle's Boucand’s video, "Berliner Bildst?rung” is comprised of Images taken at West Berlin's Zoologischer Garten Zoo, yet is empty of people and animals. The spaces shown in the video seem deserted. The soundtrack combines white noise and intermittent animal sounds. The juxtaposition between
the empty scenery and the broken noise is intended to create a strange, dated tension.
Amy Patton’s "Chronicle of a Demise," uses what she describes as “doubtful, untrustworthy narrative voices” and “invisible, unnamed protagonists” to construct an uncommon relationship between image and narrative. The footage seems old and tampered-with. Patton shot her own "found footage" on a Bolex in Hamburg, East Berlin's Tierpark Zoo, and Hutto, Texas.
