VISUAL ARTS + MUSEUMS

Rudolph Projects ArtScan Gallery is pleased to present Michael Brims: A Video Centric Exhibition. Opening  reception, Friday, January 15, 6pm-8pm.  The exhibition is on view through Saturday, January 30.

Michael's work centers on perception, identity and communication.  His high definition videos often play with the scale of sensory organis, magnifying our most precious tools of understanding the world we inhabit.  The amount of detail that the videos offer will stand in opposition to the ambiguity of the object being filmed.  This obscures and illuminates our modes of perception.  In doing so, Michael creates dialogue between   the viewer and the work that challenges norms associated with communication.

Michael Brimsreceived his MFA in Photography/Digital Media from the University of Houston in Spring 2009.  He also has a BA in Media Production/Broadcast Journalism from the same university and a degree in Linguistics from the University of Munich.  He left his native Bavaria in 1999 to come to the land of opportunity and has lived in Houston ever since.  He likes the warm wheather here, but wishes there were more mountains around!  Michale also makes documentary films and works as an educatior, teaching photography, video and design.  Currently he is a visiting instructor at Lamar University in Beaumont.
