Catherine Sullivan: Empathy | Art21 "Exclusive"
Loading...
Uploaded by art21org on Apr 3, 2008
Episode #005: Excerpts from Catherine Sullivan's film installations Big Hunt (2002), Ice Floes of Franz Joseph Land (2003), and The Chittendens (2006).
Catherine Sullivan's anxiety-inducing films and live performances reveal the degree to which everyday gestures and emotional states are scripted and performed, probing the border between innate and learned behavior. Sullivan's appropriation of classic Hollywood filming styles, period costumes, and contemporary spaces such as corporate offices draws the viewer's attention away from traditional narratives and towards an examination of performance itself.

it's such a shame that when she speaks (for me) she says things that are profoundly un-profound. YET I absolutely love her work, so much so that I wrote an MA essay on her work The Chittenden's. Artists - make, don't speak! Well, sometimes at least!

This woman is AMAZING! Her work is unique and funny. She should make a feature. Why not? Where can one get her short videos?
