Group Barking at Gallery Bundo
Group Bark looks like a family portrait, but actually shows people barking like angry dogs. The one-minute video is the single channel appendix to the sound and video installation "Twenty Angry Dogs", a project in which I had 20 people bark individually in front of a camera. The 12-channel installation was shown for the first time at the Bon Sang Art Center in South-Korea in March 2010.

Project Description
This proposal introduces a video and sound installation in which I plan to present 10 select videos with people barking (from a pool of 20 recorded pieces). The project is called "Twenty Angry Dogs". Each video depicts a single person barking, intentionally angry or anxious. The selection will contain a variety of people in regard of their gender, age, race, and profession.
I envision the project to be viewed in either a circle or two aisles opposite to each other in order for the viewers to walk into or through. The realization depends on the situation of the space. Each video screen is equipped with proper loud speakers since sound is an essential part of the installation.

Artist Statement
(1) Although trained as a sculptor I see myself as a media artist. That means that my work is not limited to a single material, it includes all sorts of media. In a recent exhibition for instance I was showing 25 new installations: photography, objects, drawings, and video.
(2) I believe in the power of art. I think art continually has to find new images for the time we live in. For the conditions and issues we deal with: existentially, politically, physically, and globally. Searching such images is what I am aiming for.
(3) Going back and forth between knowing and doing feeds what we ultimately call culture. It is important to me to be involved in art practice from both a theoretical and practical stance. I usually get most inspired by artwork that comes from a balance between aesthetic form and conceptual content.
(4) My artwork is often based on some sort of humor. I like it when serious things come with a wink. It makes it easier to deal with, to digest, and to further construct.
(5) I do believe in an intriguing encounter between art producers and the public. To embrace education is a rewarding way to expand our creativity. Audiences can make us learn better, and see things we would not have known of. I understand both, intelligence and creativity to be profoundly social.
