Moving Image Partners with ART21
(New York – January 15, 2014) – Moving Image is pleased to announce its exclusive partnership with ART21 (art21.org)
for the 2014 edition of the fair, scheduled to take place March 6-9,
2014 at the Waterfront Tunnel in Chelsea. ART21 will host the “ART21
Lounge”–a newly designated space–for all fairgoers to relax and view its
latest documentary film series, ART21 Artist to Artist, and a selection of films and trailers from its series ART21 Art in the Twenty-First Century, ART21 New York Close Up and ART21 Exclusive.
“We
are delighted and honored to partner with ART21 for the fourth edition
of Moving Image New York,” notes Moving Image co-founders Murat Orozobekov and Edward Winkleman.
“The quality of ART21 films and the organization’s success in bringing
contemporary art to a much larger audience via these films is
unparalleled. The “ART21 Lounge” is a logical extension for the fair, as
it physically realizes our own mission: to show how the world,
increasingly, connects via the moving image,” continues Orozobekov and
Winkleman.
“Our
partnership with Moving Image is an ideal platform, reaching avid
collectors, film enthusiasts and those just curious about art in a
democratic way. At the “ART21 Lounge” visitors can view first hand the
breadth of ART21’s initiatives to educate and inspire creative thinking
through contemporary art,” comments ART21 Executive Director, Susan Sollins.
Sponsored by Congruent Creative Workshop,
the New York based event design and production company, the “ART21
Lounge” will be situated near the 11th Avenue entrance of the Waterfront
Tunnel. Five television monitors will be artfully arranged in an
intimate setting so that fairgoers can view ART21’s films at their
leisure. The films will run continuously, providing visitors with ample
opportunity to watch the most compelling films about contemporary
artists working today.
In October 2013, ART21 introduced Artist to Artist,
a short form documentary series that focuses on artists from around the
world in candid conversation with one another. Each film follows a
single artist/host as she engages with other artists in a shared art
exhibition setting, exploring cultural events from the artists’
perspectives. The films featured at Moving Image will include artists Shahzia Sikander in Sharjah, UAE and Istanbul, Turkey and Diana Al-Hadid, in Venice, Italy, as guides to three exceptional biennials in those locations.

Throughout six seasons to date, the Peabody Award-winning series Art in the Twenty-First Century
has captured the work and lives of 100 contemporary artists. Each
program profiles three to five artists for an intimate view of their
creative processes and sources of inspiration. On view at Moving Image
will be trailers for all six seasons.

Exclusive features new and archival footage and focuses on artists profiled in ART21’s flagship television series Art in the Twenty-First Century.
These short films highlight singular aspects of an artist's process,
significant individual works and exhibitions, provocative ideas, and
biographical anecdotes. At Moving Image, ART21 will present new films made exclusively with recent original footage: “Ursula von Rydingsvard: Ona”,
featuring the artist’s permanently installed sculpture outside of
Barclays Center in Brooklyn; James Turrell revisiting his installation Second Meeting (1989) at the home of private collectors in “James Turrell: Second Meeting”; and "Ann Hamilton: The Event of a Thread," where the artist discusses her installation at the Park Avenue Armory in 2012.

New York Close Up,
also a web-based series, documents artists in the first decade of their
professional careers, living and working in New York City. “Daniel Gordon Gets Physical”, “Jacolby Satterwhite Dances with His Self”, and “Liz Magic Laser Talks To the Hand” are among the selected New York Close Up films to be shown at Moving Image.
