Proxies
Proxies is a one-night screening program curated by Inbar Hagai and hosted by NARS Foundation. Each of the artists included engages with the idea of substitutes – replicas, simulations, and reembodiments – to complicate contemporary modes of representation. Using strategies such as reenactment, repetition, flattening, recontextualization, and the appropriation of mass-media iconography, these works probe the power structures inherent in current legal, political, and sociological territories, as well as traditional cinematic constructs of time and narrative.
This program is presented in collaboration with Departure Lounge LA (DLLA) which provided funding and production support.
Featuring work by Karam Natour, Kei Ito & Andrew Keiper, Marianna Simnett, Michael Robinson, Evelyne Leblanc-Roberge, Yasmin Caspin Guetta, Matthew McGaughey, Gloria Fan Duan
