AMBruno presented Project 101 Video Works at The LAB Gallery, New York (4 to 25 November 2011): an installation of 101 individual film works by 40 artists. All the pieces were silent and of exactly 101 seconds (1 minute 41 seconds) duration. The video works were screened at The LAB Gallery on an array of monitors positioned throughout the space. |

AMBruno's commitment to experimentation led the members to take their work beyond the material temporality of the book, into that of the moving image. It was proposed that each member develop a screen work with the single formal constraint of 101 seconds duration, being more than a clip but less than a short. The works were produced with a wide range of technical means, from mobile phones to high-definition video. Forms included animation, live action, sequential stills, written text and computer-generated image. The artists were: Charlotte Andrew, John Archer, Louise Atkinson, Joseph Cutts, Sara Dell'Onze, Claire Deniau, Manya Doñaque, Warren Garland, Clara Glyn, Tim Goffe, Judy Goldhill, Joanna Greenhill, Jane Grisewood, Joanna Hill, Lilian Igbinsun, Ingrid Jensen, Carl Jaycock, Kurt Johannessen, Paul Jones, Sean Kaye & Jenny West, Noe Kidder, Sharon Kivland, Yaron Lapid, Philip Lee, Simon Lewandowski, Toby Lloyd, Sophie Loss, John McDowall, Katherine Melancom, Steve Perfect, Verónica Pérez Karleson, Christina Reading, Lucy Reynolds, Tim Riley & Georgia Elizey, Rekha Sameer, Carl Slater, Susan Trangmar, Cally Trench, and Helen Wood. Project 101 Video Works was initiated by Sophie Loss. The project was developed and co-ordinated by Sophie Loss and John McDowall. Additional supervision was given by Joanna Hill, with the help of Judy Goldhill, Claire Deniau and Steve Perfect. The LAB (for installation + performance art) is a New York based, converted storefront turned fishbowl producing 20+ fast paced performance art and installation exhibitions annually. Aimed at the furious midtown foot traffic, The LAB's programming is designed to confront modern relationships between art and audience and seeks to force an interaction between the high energy, "outrospective" exhibitions it produces and the nearly 25,000 daily passersby. The LAB is located on the North East corner of 47th and Lex and is a Roger Smith Collaboration. |
