VIDEO SERIES: Theme Videos Supporting the exhibition The Body, The Object, The Other
Client: Craft Contemporary Museum, Los Angeles
Producer / Editor
This series of 4-minute videos presents themes and concepts relating to the ceramics exhibition The Body, The Object, The Other. The videos were designed as a resource for schools and the general public, who were not able to visit the exhibition while the museum was closed due to the COVID pandemic. The visual style of the videos was also developed in response to the inability to shoot on-site at the museum, during the pandemic.
The themes of the videos are:
• Sculptures that explore concepts about the ideal woman
• Connections between an artist's cultural knowledge and their personal identity
• The use of popular culture to communicate an artist's many-layered identity
The theme videos are presented on Craft Contemporary's website, and the museum's YouTube channel.
