Sowon Kwon: Something New
Opening: Friday, March 4, 6-8 pm
Exhibition Hours: Tuesdays-Saturdays, 12-6
Artist Talk-March 17 (Thu) 6pm Free
Since the early 90's, New York-based artist Sowon Kwon 's sculptural and video installations have explored physical interiors as psychological spaces. Ranging from the spectacular to the intimate, these animation-based works examine relationships between collective and personal memory, spectatorship and desire, and the formation of identity. Included in the exhibition are Average Female (Perfect) , a two-channel video installation overlaying animated line drawings of the "average" female figure onto "perfect" Olympic performances; Calendar , comprised of multiple loops showing the repetitive, futile, and at times humorous, actions of "un-average pin-ups"; and Sonogong 2 , a work combining references to iconic 1970s performance videos with imagery of urban commuters and passersby.

Artist Talk
Matthew Buckingham/Joachim Koester: April tba Free
Past and present life in the anarchistic "free city" of Christiania in Copenhagen, Denmark, is the subject of this five-channel video installation by Matthew Buckingham and Joachim Koester . In 1971 Danish housing activists broke through the fences of an abandoned seventeenth-century military base, founding what is now one of the largest anarchistic communities in the world. The work investigates the contrasting power relations and vivid social forces of this environment to unravel the assumptions and arbitrary events that make up its history. Each of the projections follows a separate thematic line through the daily excursions of the fictional protagonist Sandra, an outsider living in Christiania. Idiosyncratic facts and historical data are interwoven with the unpredictable and subjective flow of memories, offering multiple perspectives on this community's originating utopian ideals and the consequences of "living outside the law" as a form of protest.

Bill Viola: Five Angels for the Millennium
on view November 18, 2004 - March 6, 2005
Mildred and Herbert Lee Galleries, Floor 2
Five Angels for the Millennium, a major work by American video pioneer Bill Viola, has its New York premiere at the Whitney Museum of American Art. Recognized as one of the leading figures in video art, Viola creates projective narrative environments that explore the nature and consciousness and universal human experiences such as birth and death. The artist's subject matter is rooted in the history of Western and Eastern art, as well as in such spiritual traditions as Sufism and Zen Buddhism. This installation was acquired in 2002 in a unique three-way partnership with the Whitney, the Tate, London, and the Centre Pompidou in Paris, marking the first international shared museum purchase of a major contemporary work.
Small: The Object in Film, Video, and Slide Installation
on view November 18, 2004 - March 6, 2005
Kaufman Astoria Studios Film & Video Gallery, Floor 2
These small projections and monitor works by John Baldessari, Matthew Higgs, Sol LeWitt, Jonathan Monk, Alan Phelan, Michael Snow, and Rirkrit Tiravanija favor magnified detail over cinematic space as they address the sculptural relationships between the material object and the moving and projected image.
Sue de Beer: Black Sun
on view March 3 - June 17, 2005
Whitney Museum of American Art at Altria
This marks the first U.S. museum exhibition for artist Sue de Beer, whose work was featured in the Whitney's 2004 Biennial . Inflected with an interest in the aberrant, Sue de Beer's photographs, videos, and installations emerge from an intimate engagement with notions of time and memory, where hope, desire, and identity are in flux. Black Sun continues de Beer's exploration in a compelling new video installation viewed within a large-scale wooden house environment.

White Room 1: Michele O'Marah
Gallery hours: Wednesday - Sunday, 12 - 6 p.m.
White Columns is proud to present the New York debut of Los Angeles-based artist Michele O'Marah's celebrated video work Valley Girl (2002). Working within the Hollywood tradition of the remake, O'Marah recreated Martha Coolidge's 1983 cult-classic movie Valley Girl virtually word-for-word, and scene-by-scene. Employing a cast of friends, "savvy costumes , no-frills props, and punk-riot grrrl chutzpah," O'Marah created, in the words of LA-based critic Bruce Hainley, "a guerrilla tour de force and a heady meditation on the simple act of doing something again ... that captures and intensifies the heart and soul of Coolidge's original."
(now up)
In 2001 Althea Thauberger placed an advertisement in a Victoria, British Columbia, entertainment weekly seeking young female singer/songwriters for a film project. From the resulting replies Thauberger would eventually collaborate with eight young women, initially recording their original songs in a professional recording studio, and then subsequently filming their individual performances against the backdrop of idyllic West Coast Canadian landscapes. The resultant film 'Songstress' - part-screen test, part pop video - is at once sincere and cruel, and explores the performers conflicting desires that are pitched somewhere between innocence and ambition.
Althea Thauberger lives and works in Vancouver, Canada. Her work has been exhibited widely in Canada including solo shows at Artspeak, and the Helen Pitt Gallery, Vancouver. Her work is included in the traveling exhibition 'Baja to Vancouver: the West Coast and Contemporary Art' currently on view at the CCA Wattis Institute, San Francisco. In 2005 she will have a solo 'Matrix' exhibition at the Berkeley Art Museum, University of California, Berkeley. This is her first solo show in New York. Thauberger graduated with a MFA from the University of Victoria in 2002.
