There Is Something Here: Solo Exhibition by Carlos David TC at Flux Factory Gallery
March 16 @ 1:00 pm – March 31 @ 6:00 pm
(*All visitors are required to wear a face mask. Four visitors are allowed in the gallery at one time.*)
Carlos David TC’s solo exhibition features installations of unfinished, deconstructed, incomplete, raw, finished, and mastered video work, conceived in collaboration as an Artist-in-Residence at Flux Factory during the global COVID-19 pandemic. The works will be presented via text, color waveforms, sound, and traditional moving image. Some of the works include: ‘My Quarantine Shoes,’ ‘The Self* Tapes,’ ‘Pass The Hours,’ ‘Spencer’s Gift’ and the premiere of the trailer for his newest short film: ‘Jevi from 9 to 11’
‘Jevi from 9 to 11’ is a fictionalized documentary about a painter who works at a museum during the pandemic and is set to be released in October 2021. The short film is part of a series called Artist* from 9 to 5 which follows immigrant artists from “9 to 5” the traditional American business hours.
There Is Something Here looks at the components of filmmaking through the lens of the artist’s process, and the challenges of mastering artistic craft while wrestling with self-doubt, lack of experience, and fear of failure. Originally titled: Nothing to See Here, Carlos David TC leaves behind the self-deprecation that many artists experience to instead focus on celebrating the process of growth and exploration.
