“Younger Than Jesus” participating artist Luke Fowler opens a solo exhibition at London’s Serpentine Gallery on May 7. Here is the press release:

The films of Luke Fowler explore the limits of documentary film-making. Innovatively combining new and archival footage, interviews and photography with a densely layered soundtrack, his work is also a critical response to the idea that documentary can offer a single objective truth.

Fowler’s meticulously researched subjects include vanguard thinkers and counter-cultural figures, such as R.D. Laing, Cornelius Cardew and Bogman Palmjaguar. Collaboration is a key element of his process and he moves fluidly between the roles of artist, curator, historian, film-maker and musician.

A central figure in Glasgow’s vibrant art scene, Fowler won the inaugural Jarman Award 2008 for artist film-makers, presented at the Serpentine Gallery. This exhibition is the first major survey of the artist’s work to date.

Last Chance to see “YTJ” artist Elad Lassry’s New York solo show

Los Angeles–based artist Elad Lassry presents photographs in “Younger Than Jesus.” His exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art, on view through April 19, presents three films. Here’s the Whitney’s description of the show:

Elad Lassry: Three Films is the first New York museum exhibition of this Los Angeles based artist who produces carefully crafted images in both photography and film. While often drawing on traditional photographic conventions, Lassry focuses his attention on the surfaces and histories of the objects and individuals he captures, asking the viewer to reassess even the most quotidian images. The three films in this exhibition draw upon the legacy of Structuralist film to examine and interpret modes of image production. Untitled (2008) reconstructs a series of 1970s photographs illustrating perception, using the film camera to shift the focus of the image from the mechanics of vision to the subjectivity of the individuals in the photo. Untitled (Agon) (2007) records two dancers performing the pas de deux from George Balanchine’s 1957 ballet Agon. Using a diagram from Doris Humphrey’s 1958 book The Art of Making Dances to determine the camera’s positions, Lassry examines the way cultural production is framed and transformed through different methods of representation. Finally, Zebra and Woman (2007) vacillates between two disparate subjects to both expose a synchronicity between forms and interrogate the construction of the image within the film frame.

Interview with AIDS-3D

Last month Interview magazine posted an interview with “Younger Than Jesus” artists AIDS-3D (Daniel Keller and Nik Kosmas) on its website. Keller discusses the duo’s participation in the New Museum survey. Here is an excerpt:

AG: You’re showing the OMG Obelisk. I thought that only existed as a .gif file. I thought most of your work did.

DK: No it was an installation, and it will be re-staged there, although yes, it’s mostly known in its animated .gif form. We installed it at the Rundgang at UDK in Berlin in the summer of 2007, but it was highly ephemeral. It was made with duct tape, and the fire lasted for only a few minutes at a time.

AG: Do you prefer it in one way or another?

DK: I think that it’s essential that the piece has two existences. I like that the piece has a digital , phenomenonal existence and then a sorta downloaded, shittier real form. That it can be translated.
