Eric Gelber reviews Skidmore exhibition, Dump.fm, Biennial for Creative Video, and Brenda Goodman show.
Eric Gelber has recently contributed several exhibition reviews to artcritical. One notable group exhibition at Skidmore's teaching museum is on display until September 18, showcasing a compelling piece that serves as an exercise in reputation enhancement. The digital platform Dump.fm offers a modern twist on the Surrealist exquisite corpse concept. The Biennial for Creative Video faces backlash for favoring projection technology over substance, drawing negative parallels to Bravo's "Work of Art." Brenda Goodman's retrospective, titled "Work 1990-2010," is available at John Davis Gallery until August 15, featuring an archival selection from a 2010 studio visit that documented a residency and exhibition at La Galleria La Mama. Gelber's critiques encompass a range of digital media, institutional exhibitions, and individual artist showcases across various locations.
