Ilene Segalove: Whatever Happened to the Future?
@ Video Data Bank
Online
Opening Saturday, July 15th, from 12PM - 12AM
On view through Wednesday, August 9th
VDB is pleased to present the VDB TV program Ilene Segalove: Whatever Happened to the Future?, programmed by VDB Distribution Manager Emily Martin. One of the early adopters of video on the West Coast, Ilene Segalove expresses an intangible captivation with the televisual medium and a playful approach to the cracks within the quotidian. Segalove’s technicolor work explores the uncertainty of the future, budding pubescent desires, everyday deceptions, and the self reformulated through the television.
Whatever Happened to MY Future? and Coal Confession tie in together to stir an unresolved story of Segalove’s personal journey and life as an artist, one that she has routinely sought to contextualize with the offerings of the television as an object of desire, medium for exploration, and uncanny mirror. In consideration of her work, Segalove seamlessly weaves together the constructed realities of life, television, and the video camera, differentiating her work from that of her contemporaries.
Accompanying this program is an interview between Martin and Segalove, available to read at https://vdb.org/vdb-tv.
