From across the pond in Albany's State

A few exhibitions/installations have caught my eye across in New York State recently. One of which is scarily two years behind something similar recently posted on here in name and media used...

Takeshi Murata: Melter 2

Taking over the giant illuminating advertising billboard's of Time Square Takeshi Murata has created an immersive animation that appears for a few minutes just before midnight every evening over the month of November. Looks like quite a visually impacting -rather psychedelic- experience to happen upon.

 The Whitney Museum is currently showings a retrospective of work by Wade Guyton. An artist who for the past 20 years has devoted his time exploring our changing relationships to images and artworks through the use of common digital technologies, such as the desktop computer, scanner, and inkjet printer. Along with exhibiting previous work he has created a new piece specifically made for the Whitney Museum.

And finally came across Circa 1971 today. An exhibition at the Dia in Beacon which celebrates EAI's (Electronic Arts Intermix)  40th anniversary, showcasing a series of diverse video works in EAI's collection that reveal the development of video work in art practices. It includes pieces by Vito Acconci, Eleanor Antin, Ant Farm, John Baldessari, Lynda Benglis, Shirley Clarke, Dan Graham, Nancy Holt and Robert Smithson, Joan Jonas, Gordon Matta-Clark, Nam June Paik, Raindance, Anthony Ramos, Carolee Schneemann, TVTV, Steina and Woody Vasulka, and others
