"Judy Radul: Proposal for Ghost Pass Rehearsal Park"
2006-05-27 until 2006-06-23
OBORO
Montreal, QC,
CA
Space, performance, and representation are the materials of Vancouver artist Judy Radul’s artistic experimentation. For OBORO, an architecturally anachronistic space in the age of the mega-museum and the Chelsea gallery, Radul will develop Proposal for Ghost Pass Rehearsal Park, a new multimedia installation. This piece enacts distribu-tion and disappearance. Video cameras delineate three intersecting views of the gallery, relaying footage to CRT monitors. cameras frame discreet image-spaces out of the gallery’s lofty expanse—latent stages of sorts. In turn, they are distributed to multiple monitors, forming a real-time network—an expanded image-space embed-ded within the gallery-space.
This parallel between spatial regimes ushers in questions of time and performance. As space and images are variously allocated, sound, objects, and the presence (or absence) of other viewers further dis-tribute roles, offering an ever-changing number of paths and positions throughout the space. These experiences are all programmed into the piece. A pact ensues as the viewer de•nes her role, and contingent rules for this game.
