0900 SOLAR BOARDING PAUSE ALONZO MORNING 26 March - 10 April
Opening Reception: 6pm Friday 26 March Richard Law Stephanie Davidson Jeffrey Joyal and Carlos Laszlo Daniel Lopatin / Oneohtrix Point Never Josh Burke / Triangle Glare / Nehal Shah Samantha Gurry Sean McCann Ivan Gaytan Craig Hand Luke Wyatt Zahid Jiwa Nate Boyce Tyler Dorson Frank Baugh Todd Ledford Curated by Shea Bermingham and John Laser 0900 SOLAR BOARDING PAUSE ALONZO MORNING is a visual inquiry into what musician and columnist, David Keenan has described as Hypnagogic Pop, an underground musical zeitgeist mobilised by the 'creative mishearing of hyperreal 1980s chartbusters', and the erudite detourning of that epoch's still-lambent historo-retinal afterimage into a contemporary, artistic corpus of kinaesthetic, post-noise forms. 0900 is a collection of videos from contemporary artists working with, and as, preeminent US musical acts including Ducktails, Oneohtrix Point Never, New Yoga, Mossy Throats, Sun Araw, Triangle Glare and Matrix Metals. Their works all subvert commercial totems through the use of upturned and detuned samples from televisual refuse, foggy digital filters, oneiric repetition, ghostly deceleration, and pausal, collagistic juxtaposition, in an uncanny optic manifestation of the revenant timbral symbols contained in their respective, portal-like soundtracks. Comprised of a mixture of video art pieces, music videos, commercials, late nite phone-mercials and other cathode-ray detritus, 0900 is a playful exploration of the aesthetics and politics of a collective VHS memory, through an appropriately eclectic collection of vis-aur-al material. -- HSP 84 Lichfield Street PO Box 3733 Christchurch 8140 New Zealand highstreetproject.blogspot.com (03) 366 53 63
