Discard 3 (Pratt Library Series), 2004 Archival ink jet print, 40 x 70" Lynn Cazabon Discard Schroeder Romero is pleased to announce a solo exhibition by Lynn Cazabon. Cazabon continues to use movie film as a source in her work, both conceptually and materially. The prints in the series "Film Tombs" are made from films that have been discarded or de-accessioned by public institutions, in this particular series from The Pratt Library in Baltimore. Cazabon's prints are digitally produced on a large scale with their source being the analog material of film. In these images, an entire film is presented like skeletal remains in a tomb or casket so that each print serves as a kind of memento-mori to film. The films are presented as "dead" to highlight the notion that, as a representational technology, film has been displaced by digital media and is sometimes seen as a decaying artifact in need of preservation or burial. On view in the small gallery will be a projected digital video entitled "Reel" which takes the form and content of these prints into motion. Lynn Cazabon lives and works in Baltimore, Maryland. She received an MFA in photography from the Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. Her work is in several public collections including the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, The Mattress Factory Museum of Art in Pittsburgh, and the Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts, Omaha. Her first solo show with Schroeder Romero was entitled "Story of M" in 2002 which was also exhibited in 2003 at Hallwalls Contemporary Arts Center in Buffalo, New York. Exhibition: May 7 - June 14, 2004 Gallery hours: Fri-Mon, 12 - 6 pm and by appointment Schroeder Romero Gallery 173A North 3rd St USA-Williamsburg, Brooklyn Telephone +1 718 486-8992 Email lisa@schroederromero.com www.schroederromero.com |
