Seth Price’s show appears in three venues: Friedrich Petzel Gallery, Reena Spaulings Fine Art, and Electronic Arts Intermix (EAI). The show considers film and video, and how the moving image is used and circulated today, whether in the art world or in more popular forums. At Friedrich Petzel and Reena Spaulings, Price exhibits two new, related films, each offering a different approach to these questions. At EAI, the artists’ video distributor located just upstairs from Friedrich Petzel, Price releases a new video for widespread distribution.

Checklist for Reena Spaulings:

Untitled Film, Left. 2006. 16mm film. 10 min. At Reena Spaulings, Price installs a film transfer edition of his EAI video Digital Editing Effect: “Editions”. The piece juxtaposes disparate authors, editing strategies, and histories, yielding a work in the essay-film tradition, at once lyrical and messy, highly-edited and arbitrarily composed.

Notes. 2005-2006. Price often writes his own, somewhat oblique, press releases, which have been called “loopy” and “millenarian”. His writing does make an appearance in this show, albeit mainly as a decorative motif: selections from the artist’s working notes on film & video executed over the last year, which appear at Spaulings. A facsimile book of the notes is also available.
