While artist Barbara Kruger makes clear that her declarative captions exist in opposition to the slick images with which they are paired, Maria Antelman's coupling of disparate sound bites and video clips produces a more complex relationship. In New Horizons, Antelman pairs rodeo footage with a salesman hawking his cryogenics services, giving the equestrians' Western frippery an eerie funereal quality. Tamar Halpern's imposing photographs are also created through layering, but she's not as much a student of Kruger as she is of the vanguards of painting like de Kooning. Running her compositions through a battery of digital and photographic processes, Halpern forges expressive works that capture fleeting moments and narratives at the point of transition.
