The Lab presents "Amidst" in conjunction with swissnex San Francisco.
Swiss artists Ursula Scherrer and Flo Kaufmann continue their thematic series of collaborations with "Amidst."
Ursula Scherrer’s five-channel video is projected onto suspended fabric, drawing the viewer into an architecture of images, colors and light: representations of fleeting and indefinable presence, of everything that is “amidst.” Venetian blinds pouring light and shadows slice the space. A torrential rain shown upside down spreads like fire through the room. The loops of each video channel phase against each other, changing their relationship slowly throughout the course of a day.
Flo Kaufmann creates the sound environment of the installation using homemade instruments and electronic effects. Five speakers placed around and within the structure play their own textured track. Ever-shifting audiovisual alignments occur over time and according to one’s position in the space.
As visitors move through the environment, they become an integral element of the installation as they mark the landscape with their bodies, their shadows, their sound.
Opening reception: Thursday, January 21 at 8:30 p.m.
