Subject: Transient Light – A video Installation

Date: March 7-13th, 2006

Location: Gallery Espace, 4844 St. Laurent

Video installation proves what’s old is new.

Using discarded televisions he collected from the alleys and side streets of Montreal, Josh Usheroff has created a video installation that illustrates the hypnotic effect of television in our lives. The installation presents dizzying imagery to induce the viewer into a trance like state.

"The TVs I collect easily date back three decades" explains Josh, "It is interesting to consider the past lives of these found objects and the historic images they have displayed over the years. These old televisions incorporate a sense of nostalgia into my work and underscore the prevalence of this medium during the later half of the 20th century."

Usheroff’s work also forces us to consider what remains when we dispose of our outmoded technology.

The installation entitled "Transient Light" will be on display at Gallery Espace, 4844 St-Laurent blvd, March 7-13.
