\nMicroscope Gallery is pleased to present Slide Executions<\/strong>, a program of live slide performance works by Andrew Lampert, Kenneth Curwood and Alexia Welch as the fourth of five events happening in conjunction with our current exhibition \u201cSlide Slide Slide\u201d.<\/span>
\n\u00a0<\/span>
\nEach of the artists, who work regularly with the transparent slide, take a different approach in pieces involving a death in some sense, both the literal and figurative. Lampert\u2019s \u201cMurder Mystery\u201d most closely references the traditional slide show using a storyline – told through an almost complete carousel of slides – of 1950s art world figures, texts, abstractions and Mafioso. Welch\u2019s \u201cRemembering, Three Ways\u201d consists of a carousel of handmade blood-painted slides among other images that over time begin to \u201csweat\u201d in the heat as the color drains. Curwood\u2019s untitled single slide projection is a stunningly beautiful and complete obliteration of the image as it is bleached before the audience\u2019s eyes.<\/span><\/p>\n

\nKenneth Zoran Curwood is an artist and filmmaker from New York. In his work, Curwood often takes apart old movie cameras and projectors, and re-purposes them to photograph movies one frame at a time (DIY optical printing). He then processes the film in home-made chemical mixtures. Curwood\u2019s works have been shown among others at Microscope Gallery, Anthology Film Archives, Canada Gallery, Union Docs, Louis V E.S.P., and Heliopolis Gallery. Kenneth Curwood graduated with a BA in sculpture from the School of the Visual Arts.<\/span>
