Cauleen Smith : NTSC
October 11 - November 17, 2007
Opening Reception : Thursday, October 11, 6 - 8 pm
The artist will talk about her work at 6:30pm

In a dazzling, multi-layered exhibition of video, sculpture and drawing, Cauleen Smith investigates deeply embedded cultural assumptions and provides surprising insights into the consequences of those assumptions. Smith examines one of the most quoted speeches in American movies (from the classic film, Night of the Hunter); the NTSC (a committee whose compromises resulted in there being no uniformity of color on North American television); and asks what must video as a medium trade off for its accessibility, its immediacy, and its affordability? (A lot!)
