Trinity Square Video and Inside Out co-present:
Opening Reception: Saturday May 22, 2-5pm Free Admission
401 Richmond Street West, Suite 376
Trinity Square Video and Inside Out are pleased to present the North American premiere of the collaborative, editing and re-editing project, Disambiguation by the artists Steve Reinke and James Richards. Working together remotely (Reinke in Chicago and Richards in London) with materials culled from each artist's extensive, idiosyncratic archive of found and personally recorded documents, Disambiguation is a hypnotic and beautiful "mix-tape" produced by two master editors whose process of selection and revision is reminiscent of an underground, bootlegged audio compilation recontextualized by the ubiquity of digital video.
Steve Reinke is an artist and writer best known for his videos and based in Chicago. His work is screened widely and is in several collections, including the Museum of Modern Art (New York), the Pompidou (Paris), and the National Gallery (Ottawa). Reinke is associate professor of Art Theory & Practice at Northwestern University. In the 1990's he produced the ambitious omnibus The Hundred Videos (1996), and a book of his scripts, Everybody Loves Nothing: Scripts 1997 - 2005 was published by Coach House (Toronto). He has also co-edited several books, including By the Skin of Their Tongues: Artist Video Scripts (co-edited with Nelson Henricks, 1997), Lux: A Decade of Artists' Film and Video (with Tom Taylor, 2000), and The Sharpest Point: Animation at the End of Cinema (with Chris Gehman, 2005).
James Richards is an artist born in Wales (1983) and based in London. Richards has presented solo exhibitions at Tramway, Glasgow and Swallow Street Gallery, London and as part of the group shows Nought to Sixty at the ICA, London; Generational: Younger than Jesus at the New Museum, New York; and A Song For Those In Search Of What They Came With at Bellwether Gallery, New York. His single channel videos have been screened in curated programs at the Whitechapel Gallery, London, Light Industry, New York, and the Koelnischer Kunstverein, Cologne. Working as a curator, he has presented screenings at LUX, London, FormContent, London and Light Industry, New York.
