March 1 - 31, 2005 / Tricia Middleton & Joel Taylor, “Theme Song II”
The third video in the Performing Video series.

Tricia Middleton and Joel Taylor revisit Vito Acconci’s “Theme Song” (1973). A woman reclines back into the frame. She sips some wine, then takes off her sunglasses to peer to her right, the self-conscious tic of someone checking the mirror (or a camera’s viewfinder). “let’s face it honey / we all want to be rock stars at some point in our lives”.

March 1 - 31, 2005 / Ori Kleiner, “Translucent”

“Translucent suggests the transient lucidity of memory, time and language. A thought leading a trail of fragmented sensory conversation echoed in multiple spaces driven by a steady current of connotations. This constantly distracted, bi-polar narrative ponders the notion of private spaces within the public sphere.”— Ori Kleiner

Ori Kleiner is an integrated media artist, broadcast designer, educator. He lives in New York City and teaches at the Parsons School of Design, and at the School of Visual Arts.
