Pat O'Neill: New Work, Exhibition
For this show, O’Neill presents new video projections incorporating multifarious sculptures. These pieces demonstrate a rethinking of the passive experience of viewing film by predicating the "layers of meaning" as physical entities. In these films there are no beginnings or endings, no actors and no language; the present time potentiates variables in a viewer's practice of perception.
