黑料不打烊

The film and installation work of Jordan Wolfson (1980, New York) meanders between natural science and esotericism, education and entertainment, and last but not least, online and offline. Drawing from multiple sources such as internet, TV commercials and music, the artist mixes fragments from modern and contemporary culture with his own footage.
By sharply addressing icons who, in Wolfson鈥檚 own words, express the fear of a 鈥榞lobal subconscious鈥�, the artist questions the individual鈥檚 physical and psychological condition within the realm of a post-digital world. Wolfson represents a generation for whom the internet is not anything strange or new, but literally part of the context in which they grew up. The exhibition is built around his recent, highly acclaimed animation films Con leche (2009) and Animation Masks (2011) and the new film installation Raspberry Poser (2012), coproduced by S.M.A.K. and premiered at REDCAT (Los Angeles) in December 2012. It takes the form of a trail taking in various forms of the film medium, ranging from projection, through 16mm film to monitor, and thereby mirrors Wolfson鈥檚 idea of film as a flexible installation medium in which the boundaries between display screen and artwork fade.
