“An 84 year old Painter will discuss the (mis)adventures of her youth; the boys in the mental institutions, dancing tables for nickels from the mob, and her own secrets toward adventure in her life – along side all of it’s absurdities.”
Gina Clark is a Visual Anthropologist working within the fields of Photography, Video, Installation & Sound, and Experiments in Linguistics. ‘Re-inventing the ritual’ might better describe Gina’s unconventional creative process. Her recent collaborations have been alongside Composer Robert Alan [Vitamin Wig C], and Video artists Lindsay Laven & Aimee Goguen. She is the Founder and Creative Director of OdpoledneTV [a subsiduary of Beaubourg268, Oakland, Ca], and Co-Executive Curator for Chris Carroll’s Periwinkle Cinema [Los Angeles Branch]. She currently volunteers as a Photographer for Organizations such as The Children of the Night Shelter for Prostitute Children. Her latest project, Ataraxic Play ; a Documentary on Shamans and Energy Healers in the San Fernando Valley, CA; has started pre-production. Excerpts from her unpublished novel What is Natural will be on display during The Lost History of Concord, a Publication at the Verge Gallery, University of Sydney, Australia [Curated by Concord, in February of 2013].
