NYT: ‘New Media - New Forms,’ at the Montclair Art Museum
The first of this weekend's must-reads
A Review of ‘New Media - New Forms,’ at the Montclair Art Museum - NYTimes.com:
From the article:
Another work that piggybacks on an existing masterpiece isGregg Biermann’s “Labyrinthine” (2010), a video that uses Alfred Hitchcock’s “Vertigo” (1958) as raw material. Mr. Biermann has edited 41 shots from the film, which starred Jimmy Stewart as an agoraphobic detective, into a dynamic onslaught of concentric rectangles that advance toward the viewer, creating an arty perceptual disorientation and a fragmented sense of narrative and suspense. Mr. Biermann’s work is also reminiscent of Douglas Gordon’s “24 Hour Psycho” (1993), in which Mr. Gordon digitally extended Hitchcock’s film into a hypnotic, slow-motion display.
