Reel to Reel

September 6, 2007 - October 6, 2007

Reception: September 6, 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Jeff Shore, Jon Fisher

Clementine Gallery

623 W 27th St
For Reel to Reel, Shore and Fisher have constructed a network of wall-based, sculptural electro-mechanical installations, each containing an automated video set or electro acoustic instrument. Once activated, mechanisms manipulate the sets to create motion and play the instruments. Tiny surveillance cameras within each of the sets provide multiple vantage points, moving the viewer through the scenes. The live video sequences are projected onto the gallery wall, and the accompanying audio is generated in real-time as the miniature sets are manipulated, relating an integrated soundtrack for the video sequences. The sound is produced with a combination of automated mechanical instruments, modified audio equipment, and a collection of digital audio samples that are sequenced and mixed in real-time according to custom algorithms.

The result is a mesmerizing environment of electro-kinetic sculptural work and interactive sound elements that thrusts the viewer into a complex, multi-sensory experience. Disconcerting, poetic, and deeply surreal, Reel to Reel advances the dialogue between image, motion, light, and sound to examine the interaction between society and technology in a media-saturated culture.

Texas-based Jeff Shore and Jon Fisher have known one another for many years, but did not begin their official collaboration until 2002. Their work has been shown at Q.E.D. Gallery, in Los Angeles, Betty Cunningham Gallery, in New York, Arthouse, in Austin, and the Dallas Center for Contemporary Art, in Dallas, among others. This is their first solo exhibition in New York.
