The video stations above the water fountains, so called Bubbler are presenting the work by Brandon Forrest Frederick and Renee Piechocki.
Brandon Forrest Frederick's 2017 video, Yard Maintenance / Perpetual Motion, is inspired by witnessing the futility of using a leaf blower on a windy day, this video references the human desire to structure uncontrollable forces.
Brandon Forrest Frederick is an interdisciplinary artist, educator, and organizer based in Kansas City, Missouri. His work explores many relational aspects to living in a capitalistic and consumption based society. In using images, videos, sculptures, and found objects he looks to reveal poetic and poignant moments within the everyday and provide a new sense of agency in the act of disruption. To that effect he uses humor, performative gestures, models of reproduction, image making, community collaboration, and moments of civic imagination, organization, and reinterpretation. Each of these points of interaction facilitate a multi-faceted approach to dealing with the inequities of our current situation while learning to cope within the peculiar humor of it all.
Renee Piechocki's 2019 video and stop motion animation Between Forest and Cabin, was developed during an artist residency on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State. Alone in a cabin in the woods for two weeks, she spent time listening and watching, recording sounds and images in the forest. The artist states that the video captures changes in the wind, light, and my comfort level.
In addition to her studio practice, Renee Piechocki is engaged with collaborative projects as an artist and public art consultant. She is based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and graduated from Hunter College with a degree in Studio Art.
