http://www.donaldofinn.com/ Since 1980 Mr O’Finn has re-purposed, re-contextualized, effected, and weaved appropriated media samples into “the dreams a television Might have”. He is trained as a painter, with an MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute, and always has approached these constructions like he would a painting… letting the process, and the material determine any final content. The work represents television both as a medium, message, and as a device of conscious and subconscious cultural significance. His work has screened on both coasts, including The Hirshhorn Museum of Art in Washington DC., as well as around the world; including The National Museum of Art in Poland, The Busan Film Festival in Korea, a Traveling Art project throughout Portugal, as well as a solo exhibition in Berlin Germany. http://www.youtube.com/user/prognosisgrim
The exhibition will run from 2/4 - 3/4, and will be on view daily from noon to 4am.
