11/22/88 is a diptych that utilizes two then state-of-the-art pieces of video equipment, a Hi-8 video camcorder and a consumer-grade video synthesizer. The improvisational work moves from a domestic interior, shot through the lattice of a cane side chair and drained of color, to an arboreal and sensuous exterior domain. Yet beyond the physical realm is one pulsing with chromatic luminosity, an ulterior dimension of excess. Here is a world seething with life. The third in an impromptu series of video birthday gifts, given as a VHS copy of the original U-matic tape. Music by the Sugarcubes, Christmas Day. PLAY LOUD.
Daniel Chapman, a web developer, and I broke ground on the site June 8, 2015. My desire was to create a comprehensive space to house my art and corresponding activities, which include writing, teaching, screenings and my work in the field of contemporary psychoanalysis. Images of works from, and installation views of, exhibitions in most cases represent a portion of what was shown. The site is updated on an ongoing basis.
Site technical specifications are as follows: for back-end development, we used Rails with a Postgres database with rspec for testing; AWS and Heroku for hosting of the files and site. For the front-end work, traditional javascript and jQuery work, with Sass for design.
I’m grateful to Daniel for his expertise, creativity and commitment. For more information about Daniel and his work, click here.
