[Frameworks] silent work

Wed May 2 20:17:35 UTC 2018

Hi Andy,

You might want to look at the videos of Colin Clark. He is a Toronto-based composer, video artist, and software developer. He composed music for several of my films but refrains from using sound in his videos. Here is a link to his Vimeo page: https://vimeo.com/colinbdclark

I think that his work would lend itself very well to an exhibition setting. 

Good luck!

Subject: [Frameworks] silent work

Hi all, 

I'm putting together a monitor-based exhibition of moving image work for a public space, with one of the requirements being that the works are shown silent due to the nature of the space. Plenty of archival and artists' film work fits this. But in the course of preparing this exhibition, a more general question has arisen: Who is making silent work now? Or more to the point, are there artists who make video pieces that are silent? I'm thinking of videos that might draw on the legacy of silent/non-soundtrack film work by Deren, Menken, Brakhage, Dorsky et al, but it seems difficult to find any moving image work without sound that doesn't originate somehow on film. 

I know Frameworks is devoted to work on film and not video, but perhaps some on this list can help. Thanks for any leads. 

Best, 

Andy Ditzler
