First as tragedy, then as farce. The pan is a moral choice.
– Spencer Holden
Holden’s Epic 1-6 (2015), propose the camera as a moral instrument. Each video is shot during winter at a different outdoor location near the artist’s home in New York. Holden enters the frame walking either across, into, or away from the camera, always collapsing mid-way through. He moves through the frame at varying distances and speeds, sometimes so far away from the camera that his identity is unclear. Invariably it is cold, much of the time snowing. With the artist lying flat in the snow the camera pans away slowly until he is off-screen, revealing more of the landscape and thus resetting the frame.

After the biennials, what? Provoking and sustaining dialogue beyond the immediacy demanded by the search for false novelty is an exercise to which we have invited independent curator Andrea Bustillos. Seeing the conflict in its proper dimension without turning it into a white elephant that hides in the delirium of secrecy

Crude secrets about the Cantarell oil field, Mexico’s most prolific offshore oil reserve, are portrayed in reverse in the visionary documentary Pozo. The mysteries of the bastard family of the fisherman who discovered the country’s greatest energy treasure are accompanied in chorus by the intrigues, apparitions and petrosexoracial traumas of the inhabitants of Ciudad del Carmen, an island radically transformed by the voracious hydrocarbon industry. The chants of the gods of darkness, of crude oil and of the end of time, accompany and guide this return to the eternal source of emptiness.
