Press Release
Volume2 is proud to present the West Coast premiere of Keeping Busy: An Inaccurate Survey of Michel Auder. This also marks the first show in the new Volume2 studio, designed by architect Maya Lin and owned by curator Christine Nichols, formerly of Works on Paper, Inc.
This solo exhibition of the works of pioneering video artist Michel Auder is presented in conjunction with a three-venue exhibition at Zach Feuer Gallery, Newman Popiashvili Gallery, and Participant Inc. in New York City. Each gallery features a unique program, and Volume2 will feature seven films that have never before been screened in Los Angeles: My Nerves are About to Snap, Brooding Angels, Made for R.L., My Love, Polaroid Cocaine, A Thin Line Between Heaven and Hell, Chronicles: Van's Last Performance, and The World Out of My Hands.
The series of films will be projected directly on the studio walls with state-of-the-art video projectors arranged to create a dynamic and ever-changing cinematic installation. The series will cycle every two hours, for those who wish to see the installation in its entirety.
Michel Auder was born in Soissons, France and works in Brooklyn, NY. He has been working in video since the inception of the Sony Portapak in 1969. Recent exhibitions and screenings include the Museum of Modern Art in New York, The Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam and the Centre Pompidou in Paris. His work was included in the 5th Berlin Biennial, the Athens Biennial, Kunsthalle, Basel, Switzerland and solo exhibitions at Cubitt in London and at Krabbesholm in Skive, Denmark. He will have a solo museum exhibition at Lunds Konsthall in Lund, Sweden this September 2010.
