Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | Kevin Schmidts installation and film "EDM House" (2013) transforms an abandoned homestead in the interior of British Columbia, Canada, into a meeting place of the urban and rural. His incongruous superimposition of the sounds of EDM (electronic dance music) and colored Christmas lights onto this remote location, where he also lived for four months, critiques our pioneering expeditions into the natural world. His disorienting camera work recalls Hitchcocks masterpiece "Vertigo", and imbues the scenery with a sense of displacement, at once chilling and exhilarating. This fourth publication in the series with Fogo Island Arts includes stunning color photographs of the installation plus reflections on Schmidts practice from leading writers. Jeff Derksen (Associate Professor of English, Simon Fraser University) traces the evolution of Schmidts house from homestead to nostalgic getaway cabin. Novelist Michael Turners fictional narrative follows an aspiring filmmaker whose discovery of the house is informed by a rich field of cinematic and literary references. Finally, a conversation between Jack Stanley and Schmidt provides insight into the artists practice. Exhibition: Fogo Island Arts, Fogo Islands, Canada (01.10-31.12.2014) |
