In the project room, 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.
