From January 5 through March 17, 2013.
Artist Wes Kline will be recreating the unproduced film “Minotaur” by the mid-century avant garde filmmaker Hans Richter, using Project 924 as a collage space for re-imagining the film as a series of performative vignettes and architectural photographic archives strewn around the exhibition space. The title Minotaurocracy humorously alludes to this “production,” recalling the image of the “Minotaur” as not a fragment, but as a plurality.
Kline produces a series of structures, video vignettes, photographs, archives, drawings, and performances that collapse the modernist figure of the Minotaur (a favorite of the Surrealists, Picasso, and many others) into a series of participatory moments. Instead of the fragmented figure of the Minotaur in a labyrinth, the viewer will encounter an opportunity to “repair,” “archive,” or “restructure” the Minotaur as a site of exchange and production. Wes Kline is an artist, writer and assistant professor of photography at University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida. He received his MFA from the University of Illinois, Chicago. His photo and video work explores architecture, performance, and philosophy, and he shows his work nationally and internationally.
