- Rubric's new Experimental Video Program HYPNOSIS
- Rubric presents its fourth program of experimental video works, Hypnosis, which is comprised of three works by nationally and internationally acclaimed video artists and filmmakers, Gibson+Recoder, Thorsten Fleisch, and Mike Olenik. The program presents three works on video whose formal articulations, duration, aesthetic qualities, and sensory effects render viewers in hypnotic-like state. Works by Gibson+Recoder and Thorsten Fleisch are most closely aligned with the flickering swirling visual lexicon typically associated with hypnosis and optical illusion. Olenik's piece broadens the thematic order presented in the program, by breaking with the rigid illusory focus, and engaging with narrative modes. His video Psycho, superimposes the1998 remake atop Hitchcock's original version from 1960. The interweaving of images is simultaneously entrancing and cerebral. Hypnosis extends a lineage within the history of the moving image, inaugurated by Marcel Duchamp in Anemic Cinema (1926). This May 23rd edition of Rubric marks Rubric's fourth collaboration with Plus Gallery in exhibiting work of celebrated video artists. The program will begin at 7pm and is open to the public, a $5 suggested donation is recommended.
