INSTALLATION

PRESENTATION

Self Made Exhibition features four innovative artists.

It began when video artist m lafille gathered three artists around her latest piece, Mangrove. She offered her video as a starting point for this exhibition, and asked artists Brandon Opalka, Sinisa Kukec and Reeve Schumacher to respond to it with their own work.

As often in her work that she considers Digital Tapestry, the video slowly wanders between abstraction and figuration. Brandon Opalka’s paintings first came to her mind when she began to think about proposing this video as a concept for a group show.

Kukec and Schumacher then followed suit as likely candidates not because of artistic similarities, but because of the potential of their seemingly disparate approaches to a common aim.
