ABOUT THE JURORS
William Powhida received an MFA from Hunter College in 2002 and
currently lives and works as an artist and critic in Williamsburg,
Brooklyn. Powhida is known for tackling controversial subject matter
addressing the nature of the contemporary art industry. His writings
have been included in The Brooklyn Rail, Artnet.com, Circa and Permission magazines, and he has had solo exhibitions most recently at Charles James Gallery, Schroeder Romero Gallery, and Platform Gallery. [website]
Jennifer Dalton received an MFA from Pratt Institute in 1997 and
currently lives and works as an artist in Brooklyn. She uses her work
to cast a critical eye on the art world's fashions and expectations,
creating two ongoing bodies of work examining the role of art auctions
and the influence of the press. Her most recent solo exhibitions were
at Winkleman Gallery, Smack Mellon Gallery, and Plus Ultra Gallery, and
her work has been written about in the New Yorker, New York Times, Modern Painters, ArtNews, and Art in America, among others. [website]
IN THE VIDEO LOUNGE: Jennifer Campbell, Point No Point
Set
against the iconic landscape of the Pacific Northwest, Point No Point documents performances staged
specifically for the camera that offer novel contexts for the mind and
body. This set of videos continues to
explore Jennifer Campbell's subversion of the body through absurd and
explicitly physical actions. These
projected videos portray the artist’s body emulating, inciting or re-imagining
different beacons, signals, and forces of nature. In these works a sense of awe for the Sublime can come as
both homage and parody. Whether
it’s trudging through the ocean to become a human lighthouse, triggering Mt.
Rainier to erupt or spouting water from a head, the body becomes a medium for
experimentation often employing a tragic humor akin to that of commedia dell’arte grotesque or physical theater. Similar to the intrigue and frustration of
watching a cat chase its tail, these performances point, or don’t point, to the
absurd dualities that exist in our actions and reactions. [website] Founded in 1988, Vox Populi is a nonprofit artist collective that supports the work of under-represented artists with exhibitions, gallery talks, peformances, and lectures.
