Moving Image has been conceived to offer viewers a unique viewing experience, providing a rich program of time-based work from around the globe by today's most important and exciting new artists.
SABOT (Cluj-Napoca, Romania) features Alex Mirutziu’s videos. Using social consciousness and political information as fodder for open dialogue, this Romanian artist bridges the gap between form and communication. Each video is a temporal study delicately illustrating the emotional weight associated with social and political life. These films come to life through tears, volatile distortion, and isolation.
Moving Image was conceived by Edward Winkleman and Murat Orozobekov of New York's Winkleman Gallery and co-organized with Penny Pilkington and Wendy Olsoff of New York's P·P·O·W gallery.
