ARTIST STATEMENT
Carrie Dashow is a New York based artist working in
the intersection of video, performance and new media. Through combining and
reading space, interaction and energy with an anthropological, formalist and
geomantic slant, she finds deep and malleable content. Her work often exists in
social and collective situations where it alternates between the possibilities
of communication and the energetic points of interaction. She is engaged in
using media to extend our capabilities rather than give in to the submissive
tendencies of this same media. Treating the subjective as a way to find truth,
she has begun to work with ideas of fact and history in relation to our
understanding of space. Much of her work takes place with groups of people,
either people on the street, communities, relationships and even classes. Using
available public tools – a greeting, an island, building, friend, forest, map, history, camera – the undercurrents of visible space are
examined. With idea and energy as the axis point, she utilizes
multi-disciplinary forms of self-expression from theater, subversion, painting,
songwriting, electronics and video to create tactile, experiential and more
real than real performances and videos. The work she instigates plays with and
questions our psychological understanding of reality, replacing what we see
inside out.
