Link to watch will appear at 7pm on August 31 HERE <:https://microscopegallery.com/meredith-drum-search-for-delicious/> Q&A at 8:45pm via live chat with the artist follows.
The program includes nine short videos made from 2005 to today including works of 3D animation, diy sci-fi, experimental documentary, and works involving green screen by Meredith Drum addressing issues such as the environment and global warming, feminism, anthropology, and the history of cinema, with particular attention towards endangered species and cultures. Drum’s early videos display qualities of works representing an independent and very personal form of cinema, while her latest and perhaps most oneiric works, composed through 3D animation, were prompted by her “frustration with the misogynistic, militaristic, racist, and consumer-driven visual culture that dominates many commercially produced virtual worlds.” The program also includes a short documentary of A.I.R. gallery, a groundbreaking art space — still active — founded in New York in 1972 exclusively run by and showing work by women artists.
