Contact soldiers on and today three of my micro-reviews of its shows appear in today's NOW. An excerpt:
A few standout works make [Still Motions] a must-see.
The first is Quebec artist Gwenaël Bélanger’s print of a mirror shattering as it hits a concrete floor. The second is his remixed video of a similar, spectacular scene in his studio. It’s got a climax worth waiting for.
And the third is Vienna artist Jutta Strohmaier’s video of what seems to be natural light changing in an empty room over the course of a day. It’s an exercise many artists have undertaken, but Strohmaier makes it quite beautiful – a meditation to balance Bélanger’s mayhem.
