The GIF has become the subject of an unlikely series
of reinventions since its introduction in 1987 as a
data format. Today the GIF is an important site of
cultural and artistic expression, an established and
pervasive moving image form dened in part by
silence, brevity, shareability, and most importantly,
the loop. The GIF Elevator features newly commis-sioned
GIFs by six artists, animators, and illustrators
who represent some of the most important and
inuential GIF makers working today: Mr. Div
(Matthew DiVito), Dain Fagerholm, Render Fruit
(Clara Luzian), Lorna Mills, Paul Robertson, and Raa
Santana.
New York City-based artist Carissa Rodriguez examines the material
and social conditions in which art is produced and reveals how the
canonical gure of the artist is reected in—and reproduced by—the
products of her labor. Rodriguez' solo exhibition at SculptureCenter
features a newly commissioned video work titled The Maid, 2018, as
well as additional newly produced video and photographic work.
The Maid follows a selection of American artist Sherrie Levine's
Newborn sculptures throughout the course of a day in various
residences, private and institutional, from New York to Los Angeles.
Levine made the works in crystal and black cast glass in the early 1990s,
molding them after Constantin Brancusi's marble and bronze
sculptures of the same name from 1915 and 1920. By featuring not only
Levine's sculptures, already appropriations of another artist's work, but
also capturing their contemporary environments, Rodriguez engages
the conditions and settings in which art circulates, proposing that the
futures of artworks are inherently speculative.
MoMA PS1 presents the world premiere of a series of
experimental lms the artist Maria Lassnig made in New York
City in the 1970s. This presentation focuses on a selection of
newly discovered and restored lms that examine ways of
looking and seeing bound up in bodily sensation. Newly
restored by the Maria Lassnig Foundation in close collabora-tion
with the Austrian Film Museum, these lms incorporate
animation, sound, and poetic voiceovers that encourage entry
into the artist’s internal world.
