art of the motorcycle
mpeg 2 large screen projections, trt 10:00
synopsis:
the guggenheim museum’s best attended exhibition, ‘the
art of the motorcycle,’ was selected as the opening show for
the museum’s newest addition, the las vegas guggenheim. a major
component of the exhibition was added for the occasion, a collage of moving
images and sound following the chronology of motorcycles in film and popular
culture. hope hall directed these films alongside producer ultan guilfoyle.
these multi-channel projections consists of two ten minute loops edited to a single soundtrack and projected onto two 20’ x 30’ screens, and a three minute, silent loop, projected onto a two story glass box covered in lumisty, a film rendering the surface (and the projection) opaque and transparent both, depending on your vantage point. the films pull from hundreds of sources, including feature films, commercials, documentaries, print ads, and industrial films and evokes the motion and speed that are essential, yet absent, in the static motorcycles on display for the exhibition.

synopsis:
‘techno’ is a poem, an elegy to the landscape of

synopsis:
if no one can prove that tomorrow will come, why
is it so hard to live in the moment? while time
itself is forged of our own hands and minds,
we
are equally locked in its grasp. viewed
through the lens of new year’s eve 1999, ‘every 10 seconds’
is a meditation on the passage of time through the layering of sounds
and images. (© hope hall 2000)
