"Fiona Tan: MATRIX 144"
2001-05-19 until 2001-09-02
Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art
Hartford, CT, USA United States of America

The Indonesian-born artist and filmmaker who now lives in The Netherlands will have her first solo exhibition in the U.S. at the Wadsworth Atheneum. Tan often works with stock footage or images she finds in film and photographic archives, which she interweaves with her own footage (sometimes of herself) and a text to form a new narrative.

The artist has written, The recycling of film fragments or photos breathes new life into the images; they are liberated from the harness of their original context. Recycling makes it possible to see images in a new way. Tan will transform the MATRIX gallery with an installation featuring recent video works.
