Gabriel Barcia–Colombo: “For Those Who Wait”
January 28 – March 13, 2013

Lecture: March 13, 4:00pm TETC 152
Workshop: March 13, 12:00pm TETC 352

"For Those Who Wait" 2011 is an interactive video sculpture about the physicality of time. 10 video projected clocks hang motionless in a room. As the viewer winds up a crank the clocks come to life, their hands spinning out of control until they self-destruct in a variety of animations.

Gabriel Barcia-Colombo's work focuses on memorialization and, more specifically, the act of leaving one's imprint for the next generation. His video sculptures play upon this exigency in our culture to chronicle, preserve and wax nostalgic, an idea which Barcia-Colombo renders visually by “collecting” human beings (alongside cultural archetypes) as scientific specimens. Barcia-Colombo was a 2012 TED fellow, and has exhibited his work as such places as the Elga Wimmer Gallery, the 92Y Tribeca, and 3rd Ward in New York, and the Yerba Buena Arts Center in San Francisco, CA.
