Vtape Curatorial Incubator: Trickx of Light

In 2009 I had the opportunity to participate in Vtape's Curatorial Incubator program. The 2009 program, subtitled "THE DARK ARTS: Magic and Intuition" had a thematic focus on the hidden connections between video artworks that speak to the unknown, the uncanny, and the other worldly.

The works I selected from Vtape's catalogue addressed or complicated the notion of a "hoax" and how it relates to the paranormal. They were presented in a program entitled Trickx of Light (with the title borrowed from Assfactor 4). 

Walid Ra’ad: The Dead Weight of a Quarrel Hangs (1999)
Gretchen Sankey: Dorothy Dunbar (1998) 
Lynne Kirby & Erika Suderburg: Memory Inversion (1988)
