Andy Petrusevics has been making his anachronistic brand of ideological
observation and commentary under the e tag for many years. Petrusevics
has an impressive handle on the processes of television production and
early 20thC modernist histories. The works are littered with references
to the TV aesthetics of B-grade 60’s sci-fi, dada-esque typologies and
contemporary psychological machinations. His video productions — video?
tv? performance? — in particular transmit an oblique wit that appears
at first glance heavy-handed and out of synch with the slick narratives
of soap opera. Yet there remains something abiding about his take on
the dumb forces of power: absurd, banal and funny.
Andy Petrusevics is “a kind of radio receiver for the broadcasts from
controlling cultures. He surfs the airwaves picking up random grabs and
dumps them into a reflector world; the world of e, where all culture is
controlled.” — Steve Wigg, ‘So You Think You Can e Dance?’ Andy
