"Dirges & Sturgeons"

Curated and introduced by Astria Suparak for Anthology Film Archives, NYC.

YACHT: Young Artists Challenge High Technology (for a Total eclipse of the
heart). These new videos from America and Europe have tying threads of: the
use of high (?) technology or the idea of "future" in a lo fi way,
dopplegang/replication, instant nostalgia as the residue of planned
obsolescence, states of limbo. High and low (fidelity and culture).
Featuring: Bjoern MELHUS (The Magic Glass), Miranda JULY (Getting Stronger
Every Day, 2001), Seth PRICE (Industrial Synth, 2002), Jacqueline GOSS (The
100th Undone, 2001), Lawrence ELBERT (Whitney), ANIMAL CHARM (Lightfoot
Fever / Slow Gin Soul Stallion), Pierre Yves CLOUIN (The Little Big).

THE VILLAGE VOICE: "Peripatetic curator Astria Suparak has an eye for the
strange and ineffable." - A. Taubin
+
THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY GUARDIAN: "Video art starlet Astria Suparak is on a
mission to bring the freshest experimental works to the theaters nearest
you. The 23-year-old New York curator makes a stop on her national and
European tour... with "Dirges and Sturgeons," a program of shorts by young
and emerging artists. Playful laments indeed, these new works use lo-fi
aesthetics to critique high technology and mass-produced culture." - A.
Chadburn
