Reception: Saturday 11 March, 4 - 6pm; Exhibition March 11 - April 29, 2017, Tu, W, F, Sa 10am-5:30pm, Th 11am-7pm
Hosfelt Gallery is pleased to present the West Coast premiere of Marco Maggi's first video installation. The two-channel, 30-minute work draws its content from Maggi's 2015 Venice Biennale exhibition in the Uruguay pavilion. Maggi's video venerates & satirizes the complexities & paradoxes of the experience of contemporary art from the viewpoint of a spectator observing spectators. In all of Maggi's work, the necessity of slowing down & examining carefully are requisites to encountering the intricacies of his techniques & ideas. In Maggi's view, myopia has a positive connotation: narrowing one's vision to focus & contemplate. It becomes an act of rebellion in a world of incessant distraction.
