| | | | | Florence's Palazzo Strozzi Mixes Renaissance Work with Bill Viola Video Art Exhibit | Florence's Palazzo Strozzi has opened "Electric Renaissance," a significant exhibition celebrating the master of video art Bill Viola and presenting works that span his long career and which resonate with the architecture of Palazzo Strozzi. In order to create a unique experience, the exhibition will also include masterpieces of the Renaissance, such as Pontormo, Masolino da Panicale, Paolo Uccello and Lukas Cranach.
The exhibit reviews a career invariably marked by a combination of technological research and aesthetic reflection. It includes works beginning with Viola's early experiments with video in the 1970s right up to the large installations of the 2010s that have drawn the public's attention with their strong impact on the senses.
The exhibition also uses the Renaissance context of Palazzo Strozzi to fuel an extraordinary dialogue between the classic and the contemporary through the juxtaposition of Viola's work and masterpieces by great artists of the past that have served as sources of inspiration for this American artist and marked the development of his style. | | Read More» | | | | Nominations Are Now Open for NewBay Media's Best of Show Awards | NewBay Media proudly invites nominations for the fourth annual Best of Show Awards, intended to honor — and help you promote — outstanding new products exhibited at the spring NAB Show.

| | | | | Steve McQueen's "Static" to Be Displayed at MoMA This Summer | The Museum of Modern Art will display "Static," a recently acquired digital projection of a 35mm film by the artist and filmmaker and video artist Steve McQueen ("12 Years a Slave") from May 6 through summer 2017. The installation is part of MoMA's ongoing "Inbox" series, which highlights new acquisitions to the Museum's collection.
Shot from a helicopter circling the Statue of Liberty on Liberty Island, in New York Harbor, the film captures Lady Liberty both in detailed close-ups and from a greater remove. As suggested by the work's title, the statue remains fixed, intended to be gazed at from afar, even as the many perspectives from which it is encountered are subject to change. | | Read More» |
