Opens Tonight, Feb 9, 6-8p:
”Mixed Signals”
Garrett Pruter
Charles Bank Gallery, 196 Bowery, NYC (at Spring St)
Using discarded photos from junk stores, estate sales, and old magazines, Pruter enlarges found images and then slices and reassembles the fragments to create new imagery that blurs the line between what is real and what is imagined. For this new body of work, Pruter introduces his recent exploration of multimedia. Drawing on the walls with fractured reflections, the projector and mirror installation continues with the same visual language used in his works on paper. The multimedia installation contains found 35mm slides that are projected onto curved mirror tiles, fragmenting the images into myriad pieces and creating complex compositions out of intimate travel photographs and family portraits. - thru Mar 14

This is my last post on Alex Hubbard! I’d definitely recommend watching this video.
Make sure to see the final product at the end! This is an example of showing the process of creation/destruction. (Also, by Alex Hubbard)
Another snapshot from a video by Alex Hubbard.
I’ve recently become really interested in video art. I never really realized how it is an art until this past summer. It’s actually quite interesting to see the ways that artists are able to use all of this new technology and these fancy applications to create what I now see as a collection of true pieces of art.
One video artist that my mom recently introduced me to is Alex Hubbard. He is a video artist who incorporates construction, destruction, materials, and urban debris into his art. He focuses on having multiple layers and focus points, and I’ve found that when watching his videos, my eyes are constantly moving, taking in the different movement and action that is occurring.
I’m going to post a few snapshots from videos of his, and then I’ll see if I can include some videos. I hope you enjoy watching Alex Hubbard’s art!
