Michele Beck is a multidisciplinary artist working with single channel video, installation, sound and performance. She has shown her work nationally and internationally at venues including: The ICA in London, The Blaffer Gallery at The Art Museum at the University of Texas Museum, Galerie Chez Valentin in Paris, The Bronx Museum, The Queens Museum, PS122, San Francisco Cameraworks, Sound Art Museum in Rome, Elizabeth Foundation, Gallery Korea, Recontre Internationales, Paris, Inport Video-Performance Festival in Estonia, LA Freewaves and the Kassler Dokumentarfilm und Videofest in Kasel, Germany. They are recipients of grants from the Manhattan Community Arts Fund, Lower Manhattan Cultural Council and the New York Foundation for the Arts.
Ms. Beck work de-constructs the human psyche to some of its most primitive components and presents broken down forms of language, archaic sounds, emotional experiences, thoughts and psychological processes. The single channel videos, installations and performances function much like poems, choosing the minimum of materials in order to articulate internal spaces where the unconscious has free rein, and where primitive trauma is worked through, re-created and mastered. The result is an artistic work that is frightening, disconcerting, disorienting and a truly visceral eye-opening experience to behold.
Background:
video artist, installation artist, performance artist, sculptor, new media artist
