Takeshi Murata: Feb 17

Takeshi Murata: Conversation + Screening
Tuesday, February 17, 2009, 6:30 pm
EAI, 535 West 22nd Street, Fifth Floor

In his first artist talk in New York City, Takeshi Murata will screen and speak about his recent and rarely seen video works, including works in progress. Joining in a conversation with Josh Kline of EAI, Murata will share insights into his innovative practice and continually evolving process, which ranges from intricate computer-aided, hand-drawn animations to exacting manipulations of the flaws, defects and broken code in digital video technology. Whether altering appropriated footage from cinema (B movies, vintage horror films), or creating Rorschach-like fields of seething color, form and motion, Murata produces astonishing visions that redefine the boundaries between abstraction and recognition.
