Open Gallery The Canvas E1 Digital Shoreditch
During Digital Shoreditch The Canvas hosted Open Gallery’s installation ‘Video Painting: Sensual Phrases’ which featured Sidsel Christensen's series, Study for Composition VI (Framing Sensual Phase Transitions), 2013 and Gabrielle Le Bayon's series, Portraits From the Back, 2008-2010. The works focus on framing the body and touched upon the venue's founding vision of shared self-expression. As with all video paintings, the individually titled and autonomous works played out in a gradually evolving and non-repetitive sequence.
Sidsel Christensen engages with the workings of a subjectivity that unfolds between authenticity and fictional constructs of the self. Specifically she looks at different possibilities for the imagination to transform the perceived reality for an individual or group.
Gabrielle Le Bayon is a French artist, who works between London and Paris. Her practice focuses on video work, both in single channel and installation form. This medium enables her to investigate the limits of cinema and fine arts, fiction and documentary, blurring the lines between these different practices. She uses her personal experience to explore the aesthetic relationship between history, mythology, memory, and space.
Digital Shoreditch is a two week mass-community celebration, inviting the entire world of tech, creative and all their converging industries, from around the world to East London between 11 - 24 May.
