WNDX – Exhibition: Random Variables

Random Variables curated by Ushmita Sahu brings together a group of young video-art practitioners from across India. Video art is a relatively late entrant in the Indian contemporary art scene and it has gradually made its way into art school curriculums only in the last decade or so, leading to a crop of young artists working with moving images.

Media Arts Residency 2018 Exhibition Series

For the 2018 Media Arts Residency year-end, we are hosting two exhibitions and one presentation.
genizah: hulls Angela Henderson + Solomon Nagler

Poolside Project Space – Angela Henderson + Solomon Nagler

This exhibition is a continuation of a collaborative project that explores the porous architecture of the genizah; a non-archive where sacred printed matter deteriorates without intervention. Laser-cut steel sculptures, 16mm projections, and speculative wood structures draw out the tension between digital processes and hand-formed objects. This assemblage suggests an archive of ephemera; a tension between stasis and flux; illumination and the ineffable.

Temporal Contours v03

Temporal Contours is a quarterly series of audio-based performances hosted by Video Pool and co-presented with send+receive: a festival of sound and Eye and Ear Control Records. For version 03 we’re excited to present 3 artists who fill the spectrum of distance from refined and developed gestures to the boundary-challenging experimentation of their own practice.
