Virtual Sketchbook: Sanford Biggers's Conundrum
Presented at the The Kitchen on April 16th and 17th, Sanford Biggers's Conundrum was performed by a mouse.

More specifically, this work's attention is fastened to YouTube as both cultural hub and home of the mash-up.Read More

Creative Time's "44 1/2" is an ongoing series of outdoor screenings of video art in Times Square; the first series was chosen by veteran painter, so-called bad feminist, and sometimes-curator Marilyn Minter. Minter selected three videos: Patty Chang's Fan Dance, Kate Gilmore's Star Bright, Star Might, and her own Green Pink Caviar.Read More
