We welcome artist Alexis Gideon to Microscope to perform his video opera\u00a0Video Musics III: Floating Oceans<\/em>, which debuted last January at the New Museum in New York.<\/span>
\n<\/strong>
\nVideo Musics III: Floating Oceans<\/em>\u00a0(2012) is a 38-minute stop-motion animation video opera based on the works of the early 20th century Irish writer Lord Dunsany, and inspired by the time and dream experiments of the Irish physicist John William Dunne. The work is the third installment of Gideon’s\u00a0Video Musics<\/em>\u00a0series, the artist’s main body of work exploring traditional folklore through modern multimedia techniques, rich musical compositions and an epic ballad story structure. All dialogue and narration are expressed through lyrics and music that are composed and performed live by Gideon alongside the projected video, matching exactly every action like a prerecorded soundtrack.<\/span>
\n<\/strong>
\nThe\u00a0New Museum paired Gideon with South African artist\u00a0William Kentridge\u00a0for a joint exhibition in January 2013.\u00a0Click\u00a0<\/span>here<\/span><\/a><\/strong>\u00a0to read New Museum interview.<\/span>
