Gallery IDOLWILD is proud to present Electric Kingdom, a group video art exhibition that celebrates contemporary video works in the form of short motion graphics, performance art, animation, NFT art, and GIF. The body of video art will be an all-inclusive network of digital projections spanning the gallery walls. These visual shorts will be on rotation revolving and evolving around attendees. From the “mixed reality” technological augmentations of Will Pappenheimer’s NY Met Museum takeover “Rainbow Riders,” to the curious body language of contemporary dance choreography of Irina Angle’s “3.Angles,” to the meticulous and often outrageous animated storied renderings of Cool 3D World’s Brian Tessler, Electric Kingdom will house and broadcast the global contributions of over 20 video artists who are contributing to our video nexus, ushering us into their insightful visions. Featured video artists will include Will Pappenheimer, Irina Angles, Glenn Marshall, Eric Souther, Roope Rainisto, Heather Lowe, Danny Perez, Melanie Mandl, Ching Ching Cheng, Mr Tamale, Spyrodon, Liz Walsh, Greg Mettler, MsMMMcG, Ruby Yang, Dmitry Zakharov, Brian Tessler, Jan Erichsen, Max Pulso, Steven C Wallace, Johnny Naked, and Mascha Danzis.
IDOLWILD will also be looking forward to inviting guests and artists to give a discussion on works and an introduction to NFTs (non-fungible tokens) throughout February. Talks will include basic function of NFTs and how they are being used by today’s fine artists and the creative community at large to serve as a vehicle towards self-sufficiency as we pioneer in the direction of Web 3.0.
On view February 12 - March 05, 2022
Opening Reception: Saturday, February 12, 6PM-9PM
