Artist Pension Trust® (APT) is pleased to announce a special screening of selected videobased artworks from the APT collection on February 10th, 2010. In conjunction with Never Records and No Longer Empty, this event will accompany the exhibition Never Can Say Goodbye, currently on view in the legendary Tower Records storefront in Downtown Manhattan.
This selection of artworks, curated by Lauren Rosati (Assistant Curator at Exit Art),
considers the way in which music videos have influenced contemporary video art. The
artists in this screening reference the formats and styles of music videos by creating
“documentaries” about music icons, upending the notion of the rock concert, and utilizing sound and video collage. Indebted to the emergence of MTV, and the subsequent
proliferation of the music video, these works present a way out of the television box—
referencing and refashioning its influence for a new generation. Artists included in the
screening are Jen Liu, Ted Riederer, Ian Forsyth, Jane Pollard, Rho Jae Oon, Rashid Johnson, Robert Boyd, and Rico Gatson. The piece by Rico Gatson appears courtesy of the artist and Ronald Feldman Fine Art.
Artist Pension Trust® (APT) is the first investment program dedicated to the needs of
emerging and mid-career artists. APT’s long-term financial planning services allow artists to invest their artworks alongside a community of select artists, thereby providing a uniquely diversified, alternative income stream. Our vision is to build an integrated financial services firm that caters to the financial needs of the artist.
To attend this event, please RSVP to rsvp@aptglobal.org before February 9th.
