Biomythography

Join us for the Opening Reception for Biomythography: Currency on view November 14- December 12, 2015 at Eastside International, Los Angeles. The reception is free and open to the public.

Artist/curator Thinh Nguyen's curatorial project, Videotag is a revolutionary movement away from the "portable screen" culture embedded in video art. Its purpose is to expand video art praxis from its usual confinement in screens and monitors and present the moving image as a convergence of video and public art; utilizing public spaces as democratic social surface for projections as a temporal and impermanent form of public art.

This edition of Videotag : Biomythography features video works that investigate modes of cultural capital as a biomythographic exploration of cultural currency. The event is co-current with the exhibition Biomythography: Currency at Eastside International, Los Angeles. 

By pulling examples from literature, the visual arts and works from the exhibition, as well as current events, this panel discussion utilizes interdisplinary perspectives to addresses the nuances within ever shifting identities and how we experience/create our contemporary world and culture. Panelists include Biomythography: Currency curator Chris Christion and exhibition artists Albert Lopez, Marton Robinson, and Glen Wilson.
