The Re Institute is pleased to present work by Richard Baim, Peter Fulop, Hong Hong, Brigitta Varadi. The show is an embrace of the tactile: wool, paper, plaster or slide projected image. The connection between the artist and the materials that they work with often produces dynamic results. Often it’s as simple as acknowledging gravity…or showing time / history.

Brief statement from each artist:

Richard Baim I began working with 35mm slide projection in 1975. Since then I have worked with projected still imagery to create narratives – sometimes complex and deep, other times humorous, and/or nefarious and dark. TURN OF THE CENTURY (TOTC) was the culmination of many years of learning the technique of computer-programmed slideshows using multiple projectors (6 slide projectors originally). It was first shown in 1989 at Los Angeles’ MoCA, then in 1991 at San Francisco’s MoMA, and lastly, 1992, in a solo exhibition at The Hood Museum at Dartmouth College. I am excited to bring this work up-to-date and exhibit it in a new, digital format, and specifically in this venue where I’ve previously shown some of my latest photographic print work. This current presentation represents a deep dive into the digital aspect of multi-image artwork. This digital version of TOTC religiously adheres to the visual character of the original 35mm slide composition, and purposefully employs no effects not found in that projected piece.
