Third Wave, 2006 collage on digital print, 30 x 40" Brian Bress In the project room of Zach Feuer Gallery, Brian Bress will show a selection of videos, photographs and collages. Bress's videos use his constructed sets and props and star Bress as a rotating cast of improvised and often odd characters. The scenes reference, employ and alter traditional tropes of film and television and engage the viewer in absurd performative exploration. Bress's photographs and collages continue and extend themes of the videos through documentation of the sets and props. Bress's work uses everyday and ordinary objects and their seemly chance combinations and chaotic arrangements lend an uncanny quality to the images, asking to be decoded and simultaneously resisting interpretation. Brian Bress was born in 1975, in Norfolk Virginia. He received his BFA from Rhode Island School of Design in 1998 and his MFA from University of California, Los Angeles in 2006, and is currently attending the Skowhegan School of Painting and Drawing. Bress will be included in upcoming group exhibitions at the Getty Museum, Los Angeles, and Los Angeles Contemporary exhibitions. He lives and works in Los Angeles.
