Mexico City experimental artist Artemio Narro (b. 1976) is the self-proclaimed “Rolls Royce” of Mexican contemporary art, now audiences have the chance to judge for themselves with Artemio’s new exhibition Hollywoodpedia, a large-scale video-installation in SF’s own Galeria de la Raza.
Focused on portraying Hollywood’s construction and representation of human emotion and thought in feature films , Narro’s research and construction for his piece involved watching nearly 1500 Hollywood films, taking him over the last year and a half to accomplish.
The installation will comprise of twelve individual screens, with each communicating one of the concepts Narro has chosen to depict the human condition through a collage of distinct Hollywood moments, ergo using Hollywood as his encyclopedia. Narro chose the films based on a survey carried out to Americans concerning the most memorable and popular movies, it is in a way a portrait of the American condition through the lens of Hollywood cinema.
Among the twelve specific concepts are love, forgiveness, death and war.
fecalface.com describes the show as “An audiovisual encyclopedia of the human condition as represented by Hollywood“ Hollywoodpedia and Gesamtkunstwerk by FecalFace.com
Without a doubt a exhibition not to be missed for all those who enjoy art, culture, perhaps even for those Hollywood fans out there. The artist reception will be Febuary 6, at 9:00 pm.
Around the same dates Narro will be having a related show called Gesamtkunstwerkat at Queen Nails Projects. Click here to go to Artemio Art Exhibit: Gesamtkunstwerk Event.
