I Would Like to Make a Painting
Video Stills
April 4 - May 3, 2009
Vasken Mardikian, a Belgian artist who recently completed his MFA at the Yale School of Art, creates paintings, videos, and performances that explore the historical conditions that limit art-making, often using humor and self-parody.
"I use the multiple experiences of my life and observe what is happening in the everyday world as my subject matter," Mardikian says. "These experiences are often at odds with the limitations of institutional structure. As a result I have developed self-reflection, doubt, irony and lack of believe as positions from which to make my work."
Currently on display in the Project Room is a minimalist installation of still video images from Mardikian's recent video work, I Would Like to Make a Painting.
