FLOW is the newest pavilion for multi-video installation curated by Erich Weiss at ArtPalmBeach 22nd edition. FLOW is a collaboration between Weiss, the fair’s guest curator, Lee Ann Lester, Fair Organizer and works on loan from longtime collector Elayne Mordes of WhiteSpace Contemporary Art in West Palm Beach, FL who began collecting art videos in the 1980s. The installation includes works from various artists, including Peter Fischli and David Weiss, Bruce Nauman, Christian Marclay, and more. The videos display many topics, from violent everyday encounters to social-justice issues.
In addition to the six videos playing on a multitude of monitors throughout the space, attendees will have the opportunity to pop into our Video Lounge, which will present animation films as video art. Guests will be able to relax in a peaceful atmosphere while flicking through a collection of animation movies presented in video format. Here, works by artists as Nathalie Dujurberg, Kota Ezawa, Lucia Hare-Leahy, and Kenneth Tin-Kin Hun will be viewable by the audience as they move freely throughout the fair.
Finally, in the Library, FLOW will display a nine-hour-long installation known as Housed Memory by Uriel Orlow, which presents a comprehensive video archive of all the collections held by the Wiener Library, first Holocaust archive in the world. The library originated in Berlin in the early 1930s before moving to London in 1938. Its collection contains numerous eyewitness accounts, documents, books, photographs, and films.
